1 John 1:1-4
A favorite story is a true story of a radio event released by the US Chief of Naval Ops on 10/10/1995:
NAVY: Please divert course 15o N to avoid a collision.
RESPONSE: Recommend you divert your course 15o South to avoid a collision.
NAVY: The is the aircraft carrier Enterprise. We're a large US Navy warship. Divert your course now!
RESPONSE: No. I say again. Divert your course.
NAVY: This is the Captain of a US Enterprise - a US aircraft carrier. I say again, divert your course.
RESPONSE: It's your call, but I'm a lighthouse!
Last week Pastor Craig began our summer series on the doctrines of our faith. We chose the title, Anchored b/c an anchor is an essential device that secures a ship to the bottom of a body of water to prevent it from drifting due to wind/current. It brings stability in the midst of storms/rough waters. An anchor is a symbol of stability/strength in the midst of chaos.
God has given us an anchor to see us thru the storms and rough waters of life so we might not be swept away by the winds/currents of life - doctrine.
All Scripture is inspired by God, and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Tm. 3:16
doctrine - refers to indispensable teachings/truths that define, describe, and delineate our faith. It's the truths upon which we build our beliefs/practices.
Meaning... w/out sound doctrine, our lives will be set adrift and we'll find ourselves indulging/believing in all kinds of religious lies and cultural affections that'll lead us away/astray from God.
I think of Paul's words to Timothy: For the time will come when people will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, they'll gather around them teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear; and they'll turn away from the truth ...
