Biblical Teaching Needed
–Belief in God as all-powerful and all-knowing Creator who rules today is down 9% since 1996.
–11% fewer Blacks since 1997 strongly believe that Jesus was sinless1.
–9% fewer believe that Satan is real and not symbolic1.
–The Word teaches, rebukes, corrects and “trains in righteousness” (2 Tim. 3:16).
–Paul told Timothy to “Preach the Word” and “sound doctrine” to his people (2 Tim. 4:2; Titus 2:1).
•These problems stem in part from inadequate evangelism of those outside church walls and in part from lack of wide doctrinal teaching.
