“It
is ignorance of doctrine which is mainly responsible for thousands of
professing Christians being captivated by the numerous fallacies of
the day. It is because the time has now arrived when the bulk of our
churches “will not endure sound doctrine” (II
Timothy
4:3) that they so readily receive false doctrines. Of
course it is true that doctrine, like anything else in Scripture, may
be studied from a merely cold intellectual viewpoint, and thus
approached, doctrinal teaching and doctrinal study will leave the
heart untouched, and will naturally be ‘dry’ and profitless. But,
doctrine properly received, doctrine studied with an exercised heart,
will ever lead into a deeper knowledge of God and of the unsearchable
riches of Christ.”
