SOUND DOCTRINE AND MANY CHURCHES
INTRODUCTION:There
are many ministries and many churches, obviously there are many who
make a tremendous work, but there is only one "sound doctrine of Jesus,"
which means the sound teachings of Jesus, therefore we can not pretend
that everything that is taught is offline or
in rows with the word of God which was inspired by the Holy Spirit,
with the gospel in the Bible or in line with the new covenant, so that
not everyone who says that he is preaching the gospel, this really
preaching the true gospel.
Paul
made a warning and called in 1 Corinthians 1:10 as follows: "I beseech
you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak
the same thing, and that no divisions among you, but that you be
perfectly united
in the same mind and in the same judgment "this means having the same
thought, the same doctrine, speak the same thing, and so on.
Unfortunately,
we have seen that there is great fanaticism within the church, and is
very common in the people of God who attends a church that some (if not
most) do it for the wrong reasons, let's see some:
We used to visit a particular placeThere are good friends in this congregationThis church is close to where I liveI am very fond of the shepherdHere we are treated with affection
Reasons
how are you make the gospel becomes a social custom, but this is not
true power of God, the power of God in the gospel is Romans 1:16, these
reasons are the children of God to an accommodation to certain circumstances. But
every child of God should take care not to fall into that comfort, we
should not be carried away by feelings regardless of the truth of the
gospel.
One question that is good that we do in this time of this study is: Could it be that God is pleased with the good feelings? Or could it be that God is pleased with the preaching of the true gospel? We
can not manipulate God with good feelings, however manipulated us if we
are to God is more important to his word that the good feelings, so
that good feelings can not dull the sound doctrine of God in this we
have to be jealous,
or that God is not simply because the word for feelings of any man,
therefore it is not because we liking a pastor, or a brother going to
stay with him, or in the ministry where he is, how important is
walking according to sound doctrine, because if a ministry is not
walking with sound doctrine then it is good for those who attend there,
but they are doing evil.
By
promoting the love in our ministries, that is something great and
momentous, but love covers a multitude of sins in the Bible, but can not
cover the sound doctrine, when it comes to sound doctrine there I can
not love more than God because God gave us his love sound doctrine in the Bible.
WHAT IS NOT SOUND DOCTRINE FABLELet's
see what the Bible says in 2 Timothy 4:1-8 "I charge thee before God
and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his
appearing and his kingdom: Preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. Time
will come when they will not endure sound teaching, but having itching
ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own
desires, and will turn away from listening to the truth and turn aside
to myths. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Otherwise,
for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord will give me, the
righteous judge, at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also
that love his appearing "
Here
Paul is blunt, says it is not encarecernos front of another man, before
God is the same, which means that we are dealing with major issues, is
God and you, not a man and you.
What it means is teaching doctrine. Paul
emphasizes clearly, if not then it is sound doctrine fable, we see that
has proliferated in the religious statements such as: "I think", "I
believe", "God told me", "I dreamed," but if we look at God's
word the most times what we think, what God supposedly said or what
they dreamed, not according to the word of God, then there are more than
fables, or whether they are a fairy tale; brothers, but it is written in the word, then it is a reflection of what is in the Spirit. Many
people think that is what they believe, not what is of the Spirit is
what is written in the Bible, so it is important to walk according to
the truth of the gospel today is common to talk of many things supposedly are spiritual, but not in the Bible, then the talk are fables or stories invented by men.
But
we must understand that it is faith, Hebrews 11:1 we read "It is
therefore faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seen" it is interesting to understand that what is not seen, not imply that it is not there. For
example, when we say we are blessed Ephesians 1:3, however there are
times when we do not feel or see us blessed, but as the word says I
believe, that is in the spiritual realm and we are blessed with every
blessing spiritual,
we have to base on the things we are, but nevertheless if written in
the Bible, not a story, or a fable invented by a man in God, everything
is manifested by faith, but logically it is written in the Bible, everything there, the created, it was created by created by and for the Romans 11:36.
On
the contrary, it would be wrong to follow a teaching that God did not
create, something that is feeling or human imagination, then we would be
following a fable or a fairy tale, invented by a man and not sound
doctrine in the Bible.
In this passage, Paul says that times will come when they will invent a lot of doctrines of men, made by his own flesh or lust. That
is your own flesh invent some stories or fables, for example: "I think
this is so", "I dreamed," or "God told me", God teaches us through the
word forget all this. It
is imperative to note that: All God we mean already written, what Paul
is saying here is that there will be times where people will not be
interested what is written but were based on doctrines of men, where
entusiasmarían by of
stories or fables, and unfortunately I see it now in a lot of
ministries or churches, however the student realizes this and takes care
to teach sound doctrine. For
them look more beautiful things, make it look more beautiful place, but
feels something is not right, or states that agree not to sound
doctrine, then immediately exit there.
The
Lord's promise was that we would send the comforter to know the whole
truth John 16:7-13, for he says: "You shall know the truth and the truth
shall make you free" John 8:32, but if there is not sound doctrine walk in freedom but in slavery
Example of the Apostle Paul
Paul
says that God revealed to me I have kept, this because Paul had good
behavior, walking in holiness, read 1 Corinthians 1:2 "To the church of
God which is at Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to
be saints with
all that in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
their Lord and ours ", the gospel if effective, sound doctrine see
here., Paul when he wrote to Sanctified but urges them to proceed
according to the sanctification, so says they are called to be holy or set apart for God. Paul mentions sound doctrine to apply in our behavior, our behavior is where you should apply the doctrine.
Another important thing is that every child of God must understand what is wisdom, and what is intelligence:
Wisdom is to know about somethingIntelligence is: Implement the knowledge we have
We
see that people are wise and intelligent people, for example: knowing
you have to do something, that is wisdom, and when it is running, which
is being smart. Put another way sage is one who has knowledge and intelligent is one that applies.
We
must above all intelligent wise to apply all the knowledge that God
gives us in his word, which implies that the complete package for us is
doctrine but proceed, proceed derived from the doctrine in the gospel.BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE WORD OF GOD
Now read Titus 2:1-5 which says: "You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience. The
aged women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given
to much wine, teachers of good things to teach young women to love their
husbands and children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good,
obedient their husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed "
It
blasphemes the gospel when it is put into practice, you can learn the
gospel but if you practice, this is blasphemy against the word, is as
follows: If you do not do something and I'm cursing that you do, that serious is this sound doctrine, some people have no doctrine but proceed.
Notice what Paul says, what we know of him. is
that he was the one who laid the foundation which is Christ, 1
Corinthians 3:10-11, and instructed to imitate him, like him to Christ 1
Corinthians 11:1, we see from this passage that there is a great
commitment to this word ,
here Paul tells Titus, speaking of the old men and women who practice
the gospel to look, make note of them to come, not the Gospel and its
contents in one ear and out the other, education
is to take the gospel and make it a paddle in our lives, we take it to
practice, that's fighting the good fight of faith. It
also says that no corrupt communication proceed out of our mouth and
this is common in all of us the children of God, sometimes curse instead
of blessing, let us beware of this, this is only achieved with a proper
knowledge of the gospel of the Bible.
We
must learn to put into practice what we know, our lives are transformed
by the word, that is the prize, this raises the inner man, it is
obvious that the body wears. But the spirit is being renewed day by day but it is only through knowledge of the gospel. No
matter what happens to the man outside the important thing is what is
happening to the inward man with peace, with joy and if with all the
fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5:22, in the inner man that is truly reign
in life .
Then
sound doctrine is not only teaching is also proceeding, not just what
we say, is putting into practice what we say, that we study in the
gospel. The power of God in our lives, knowing manifests the gospel and especially practicing. That's
why the Bible says: We have been placed to judge all things, says the
spiritual judges all and is judged by none 1 Corinthians 2:15.
God
is doing through the gospel see, things in our flesh that we must
change and try, but then to attack these and irlas correcting, God shows
us that we still have other important thing is to keep improving in
self, therefore there areas that already dominate others and God shows us that we must work on them, etc.. That's
why the Bible says that in the flesh no one good Romans 3:12, derived
from this we can see that: It is changing the nature, but it is to
watch.
The
real struggle of the believer, is to fight against yourself, against
all that is lifted in our carnal mind, which is why Paul says that we
must put to death what is earthly in us.
OPPOSITION TO MEAT SOUND DOCTRINE
Galatians 5: 16-17 "I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For
the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh:
and these are contrary to one another, to not do what you want "
These
do not unite, oppose, that is relentlessly, this is always a struggle,
if that does not exist in fighting us, if there is no struggle, there is
definitely something wrong, something that does not agree with the word
. We,
we can not conform to this world, such a struggle against economic
scarcity, not subjected to poverty, if the street is hard for others,
but God provides for our needs, but we must not oppose outraged meat If
we believe the gospel, if sound doctrine tells us that we are
prosperous, healthy, we always will do better, because I believe it, and
fought against the flesh that tells me otherwise.
Thus,
whenever we walk in victory, we are more than conquerors, remember that
the flesh is weak, we go through different trials, but we have to go to
psychologists when there are problems in our marriage, you do not need a
horoscope or psychologists or counselors only
study and understand the gospel, what God has joined together no man
put asunder, God is the one who created marriage and keeps us together,
us in grace can not give letters of divorce that Moses did, Jesus said
in the beginning not,
since Eden marriages have problems and suffering, but if we follow the
instructions of the gospel we will be fine, nobody said it would have no
troubles, but if we understand that God gave us a wife can not
conformed to this world but fight for sound doctrine;
The
law was demanding but is more grace, grace demands obedience, grace is
the invisible power of God, the law gave him unto grace, grace gets into
all the depths of our being, grace if transforms the mind, to change a stone heart of flesh.
We
do not have to serve God with the body but with the mind, man is what
he thinks it says in Proverbs, if we renew our minds to think as God
thinks there will be a tremendous transformation in us, consider how
Paul defended his ministry see:
2
Corinthians 10:1-6 "I beseech you by Paul meekness and gentleness of
Christ, I who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold
toward you: pray, therefore, that when present no need to use of that boldness with which I am willing to be bold against some us as if we walked according to the flesh. For
though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the
weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down
strongholds, casting down arguments and every pretension that sets
itself up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled "
Some people think that what we say is not in the Bible, grace is no easy way, there is no discipline responsibility,
We see that the Apostle Paul confronted the Apostle Peter to defend his ministry Galatians 2:11
We
understand then that is sound doctrine is: Knowledge of the word, but
with a good proceed, remember that we were created for good works
Ephesians 2:10 not to bad, if the Bible says it, then I believe it.
Also
implicit in this passage, that we must punish ourselves, ie we must
discipline ourselves, reprove ourselves, that when we do things as the
Gospel says, it is clear that with the knowledge of the gospel and even without it, everyone knows their weaknesses. Imply that we can examine ourselves 2 Corinthians 13:5.CONCLUSION:All
we are disobedient to some degree, some more than others, but all are,
no one is perfect here in the flesh, we have a body with which we must
deal, Paul says I have fought the good fight of faith when it would be dead,
even Jesus learned obedience and all have to learn obedience, if we
learn obedience, then we will be happy, not religious experiences which
will transform us, because these are temporary, however the experience
in the gospel is permanent.
God
wants us to be obedient to the word to sound doctrine to the
instructions given by the Spirit found only in the Bible, God's promise
is whether and in love, but you have to punish all disobedience.
Every
child of God lives in battle, and we can conclude that the more battle
have that's better, that's why Paul says bringing into captivity every
thought to the obedience of Christ, that is the real fight of faith and
being ready to punish all disobedience , So that it is lame be turned out of the way. ABBA FATHER!
