How Sound Doctrine Influences Every Area of the Christian LifeDoctrine might be something you've heard in church, but how does it impact your life? Christian doctrine examines what the Bible teaches about particular topics, such as the nature of God, the nature of humanity, how humans should live, and more. By understanding biblical truths, believers have the tools to understand God, interpret Scripture, and live godly lives. In this addition to the Church Questions series, Samuel James addresses how doctrine influences every area of life for the believer. Many individuals know that their beliefs matter in certain areas of life, such as politics, but don't always understand how key biblical principles like the Trinity, ecclesiology, and the atonement should shape their everyday lives. It is easy to think that doctrine is only for theologians, but in reality, it is essential for everyone-humanity was created to know the truth about God, themselves, and the world.

GOING UNNOTICED ISN'T EASY WHEN YOU'RE BEING HUNTED BY AN ANCIENT ENEMY. When Jacob was found outside of a burning home at the age of five, he had no memory of who he was. The only thing in his possession was a lion pendant with the name "Jacob" carved on the back. For the past several years, he has been searching for answers, all the while navigating the challenges of being a teenager. Then there are the dreams...strange visions of a house on fire that have recently taken on physical properties, further influencing Jacob's emotions. If that was not enough, Jacob's daily routine gets interrupted by the presence of a ghastly man who turns a perfectly fresh piece of fruit into a rotten remnant with only a touch. That is the moment Jacob's life is thrown into a vortex of self-discovery, heartache, fear, and wonder as he is tossed directly into the middle of an ancient battle between good and evil. Can he survive, and will he finally find answers to the questions he's been asking for so long?
