ELDER – GUTS CHURCH​

Doctrine of the Word

Each student must know that the Bible was written for them—they need not rely on scholars and teachers to interpret it. Jesus stated that after His departure that Another Comforter, Holy Spirit would come and that Holy Spirit would teach us all things, bring truth to our remembrance, guide us into applications of truth discovered.  We don’t devalue working in community with other believers and their insight, but we must not ignore our divine source of truth.  2 Timothy 2;15Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman who needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” As ministers of God, we have a great responsibility to communicate God’s truth by having insight into the types, tools, and techniques of personal study, accurately handling the word of truth”.

Fred Brothers
