Next Sunday is “Friend Day” as we encourage each other to invite all of our friends to be in church with us.  A true friend is one that cares about the spiritual condition of his friend.  A true friend cares if you have Christ as your personal Savior.  Are you that kind of friend?  Use this week to invite all your friends to be with you next Sunday.  They  will  hear  the  sweet  story  of  the Gospel.  This will be a great day.

 There seems to be such a dearth today of good biblical doctrine that people do not even care to have.   People will choose a church based on their music or other things and seem to care less about what is taught or believed.  Notice what the Word of God says in Colossians 1:23:  “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven;  whereof  I Paul am made a minister.”  The Berean Christians searched the things they heard  in  Scripture  as  to  whether  they  were  true  or  not.  Good doctrine will keep you grounded and settled.  Winds of false doctrine are in a state of continual blowing.  Be careful not to get caught in those things which have no biblical foundation.  Doctrine ought never be treated as just a footnote in a believer and a church, but rather must be taught, guarded and followed.  One  way  of  spotting  false  doctrine   is   to  have  such  a  knowledge of that which is good doctrine so that a counterfeit may be easily spotted.  Titus 2:1 says, “But speak the things which become sound doctrine.”

May God bless you today.
