How to Distinguish Doctrine from Policy + Why There Is More Than One Type of Church Doctrine

By Anthony Sweat

Have you ever heard something and wondered, “Is that Church doctrine?” For example, suppose you were in a Church class studying the passage where God teaches Moses there are “worlds without number . . . and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten” (Moses 1:33).

Youth Theme Insight: Obedience Is Key to Showing Our Love for God

By Dennis Gaunt
