These falsehoods are able to survive and thrive because America, as a whole, has thrown theology to the wind and become a nation of Biblical illiterates. In past generations, theological study and sound biblical expository preaching were looked upon as a very good thing. Children were taught Christian doctrine from a very young age. Men like Jonathan Edwards and Andrew Murray wrote books which touched the heart and educated the soul. They wrote from a heart inflamed with love for Christ, and with a depth of understanding that revealed that these were men who had spent innumerable hours in the word of God.
Theology can be dull and dry, or it can be alive and powerful.
The key is Jesus Christ. When He is central, and all truth is related to Him, theology can be exciting, and will prove to be a powerful protection against all forms of deception. Let us be good students of the word, feeding on its truths, applying its precepts, and worshipping the Savior of whom the Scriptures so faithfully testify. He has also developed in-depth teachings on the theme of grace vs. legalism and on the topic of the person and offices of the Lord Jesus Christ. Dennis is also prophetically gifted in applying the truths of Scripture to the current issues of our day.
