    More important than attractive outward apparel is the adornment of a holy life. The incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit is very precious in the sight of God.

     | 5,550 views

    In this article, I want to look at what the Bible itself says about doctrine, and present a balanced look at the vital role that Bible doctrine plays in the Christian life.

(Titus 2:1) Mention the word "doctrine" among church circles, and you will get a variety of different responses. On one hand, there are those who treat ...read more
