Doctrine. The very word sounds dull and divorced from the practical problems of daily life. Worse yet, discussions of doctrine often degenerate into debate and division. Whole denominations have been formed because of a doctrinal issue.
The presence of a body of truth in the Bible, known as doctrine, poses several questions. The first and foremost question is, "What is the content of that body of truth?" The other major question posed by doctrine concerns its practical value. To many, doctrine is abstract or philosophical.What is doctrine? John speaks about "the doctrine of Christ" (2 Jn. 9). This body of truth is also called "the faith" (Jude 3; Titus 1:13), "the first principles of the oracles of God" (Heb. 5:12), and "elementary principles of Christ" (Heb. 6:1). Throughout the centuries, Christians everywhere have acknowledged a body of truth called doctrine. Is doctrine practical? To the average person in the pew, doctrine is unrelated to daily life. In the Bible, doctrine is always practical. Doctrine and daily life go together like peanut and jelly, salt and pepper, and sand and beach. In Relating Doctrine to Daily Life, G. Michael Cocoris not only expounds the doctrines of the Christian faith but also relates them to daily life. Each chapter will explain a doctrine and demonstrate how it relates to life. These simple explanations of the major doctrines of Scripture will enable you to understand the basic doctrinal teachings and to apply them in your daily life.
