But doesn't doctrine and theology make life complicated?


Bob Kauflin responds:
Theology and doctrine make life simpler. They protect us from reading verse out of context, restricting our diet to our favorite passages, and making decisions based on impulse rather than truth. They put meat on concepts we tend to use mindlessly like, glory, gospel, salvation, and love. They help us understand what we're actually doing every Sunday. What complicates life is not doctrine but ignorance of doctrine.
