Theologically sound stuff...

It is hard to find stuff that is theologically sound.

I started thinking about this because I was looking for a devotional to do with my family, but it occurred to me that it is not only the internet that has this problem.

When you look at the Christian bookstore, it is so hard to find where an author stands - very, VERY few of them state who they are associated with.

Now I know that some will automatically reject a book if they know the author is from this mob or that mob - and in some circumstances that is entirely justified. There are some mobs who call themselves 'christian' but reject the Bible as the only authority.
The thing is, if you know where someone is coming from, then you can keep a guard for those things which you know to be contrary to your understanding of the Bible, while taking in those parts that are Biblical.

It is so hard though to find out where many authors, and websites stand.

I found a fair few devotionals and websites, but not one of the ones I looked at announced their doctrinal stand and position.

Now I know I have not announced it specifically, but I have outlines some beliefs, and I am not promoting doctrine here. If I get a website set up for our church, you can be certain that it will have a doctrinal statement on it.

Anyway, we are going to go through Spurgeon's Morning and Evening, and discuss it - I agree with most of his stuff, but probably just as important, I know where he stands on many things, and can cater for those things where he was a little off - which are few.

I wish websites and authors who are trying to teach Christian doctrine and concepts, would let everyone know where they stand.

I wonder if it is because they are afraid of losing potential market?

Skelli.
