The Importance of Bible
Doctrine
By Warren Doud
The Bible is the
only source of knowledge of how to know and love the Lord Jesus
Christ. There is no such thing as "love at first sight"
in spiritual things. The believer must get to know Christ very
well, and this requires the daily intake of knowledge about Christ
through the Word of God, which is "the mind of Christ."

Tip!
For Optimal Learning and Comprehension, Print the article and grab
your highlighter.
As
you read the article, highlight the sentences, statements or paragraphs
that you find most profound, confusing, revolutionary, fundamental
or inspiring. Mark each highlight with the reason you choose
it. Use the corresponding word or letter. P
= Profound , C = Confusing , R
= Revolutionary , F = Fundamental
, I = Inspiring.
After
you have done this for the entire article, force yourself to narrow
your favorite sentences, statements or paragraphs down to your
top 5. Then top 3. Then 1. This will prepare you for in-depth
group discussion.
Not
only will this technique improve overall reading comprehension,
but will act as a discussion outline for your small group. This
method also provides a jump start if you choose to do a written
summary of the article.
