Why Good Systematic Doctrinal Teaching is Vital for the Spiritual Health of the Church.

We are all faced with a problem and a profoundly significant question, and it is – “To whom shall we go?” in regard to sin, truth, and the pathway to heaven. The question relates to the most fundamental of situations: that of sin and our eternal destiny. Sin is an unpopular word in today’s multicultural society of “forward-thinking, intellectual, and live and let live” societies.
