Biblical Doctrine Seminars

The word “doctrine” means “teachings and instructions,” or simply, “a set of beliefs.” Whether we realize it or not, we all use the beliefs we embrace to create our own way of viewing things in life (this is called an “interpretive framework”). Therefore, our “doctrines” determine our understanding of events and affect our activities in life.

Biblical Doctrines are teachings and instructions, or simply, a set of beliefs, that are grounded in the Bible. We consider teachings and instructions to be biblical when they are explicitly stated in the Bible. In Christendom, there are many doctrines that are either extra-biblical or unbiblical. These extra-biblical and unbiblical doctrines may have developed from concepts in the Bible, but they are not directly taught in the Bible.

The Bible tells us to pursue sound doctrine (Romans 16:17; Ephesians 4:14; 2 Thessalonians 2:15; 1 Timothy 1:3–4; 6:3–5; 2 Timothy 1:13; 2:15; 4:2–4; Titus 1:9; 2:1; Hebrews 13:9; 2 John 1:9). The doctrines you embrace often determine how you live your Christian life. There is a saying that goes, “Orthodoxy helps orthopraxy.” Ortho (right or sound) + doxy (belief or teaching) helps ortho (right or sound) + praxy (practice). It means if you have right or sound beliefs, you will have right or sound practices in life. Just as right and sound body posture helps your body’s health, right and sound beliefs help your Christian life’s health.

To help further healthy and sound teachings in the Body of Christ, we offer biblical doctrine seminars to local churches, Christian schools, and Christian ministries.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
