DOCTRINE, THEOLOGY, AND SPIRITUAL FORMATION

Ephesians 3:17 (NLT) says, “Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.”   This is the purpose of learning doctrine, theology and spiritual formation. Doctrine and Theology is digging into deep into God’s Word to discover what he has revealed about himself to us.  Spiritual formation occurs as we yield ourselves to God so that he may transform us by the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit.
