Sound Doctrine


I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Galatians 1:6‭-‬10 ESV

There are so many different beliefs doctrines and theology out there that many are lead astray.  Sound doctrine is rarely taught in todays church!  Many have been lead to believe false gospels, and deluded theology.  The world, the flesh and Satan  have blinded many to the truth.  They have turned themselves over to ear tingling messages the things that please him the things that don't bring them discomfort or conviction. They believe that the life should not be hard without discomfort without storms without tribulation that everything should go their way everything they want should be supplied and if they have enough faith nothing will work against them they believe God is there magic Genie to answer every request they have to their own will but not the will of God.  I'm here to tell you the Christian walk is not an easy life it is harder to do than most people realize. Picking up your cross and following me, you will face trials and tribulation, do not be surprised if this world hates you for it first hated me. None of these verses mention anything about a life of ease.  If not God did not love you, he would not allow these hard times to come upon your life so that your faith would be refined so that you would trust in Him!  Much like a father disciplines a child out of love correcting them of their misconduct,  God also chastises those He calls his own!  It is only through Christ that we can be saved it is nothing on our own it's not of our works it's not of our Good Deeds! We can not do enough good things to earn our salvation, as it is written our good deeds are as filthy rags! Nothing we can do can compare to the price that Christ paid upon his scourging and crucifixion the alienation he felt from friends, the momentary moment when God the Father looked away because he was bearing the sins of the world!  God who created the heavens and the Earth humbled himself came to Earth as a man live a perfect life keeping every aspect of the law and living without sin died a sinner's death paying the price that was meant for you and I!  Surrendering your life to our Lord and savior surrendering to his will and not your own. That means denying yourself and following him. Accepting his will for your life and denying your own well!
