We must be exceptionally careful in the matter of comparing Scripture with Scripture. The Bible never contradicts itself. We must never base our doctrine upon one statement only; or to put it in another way, our doctrine must never be so formulated as to be in conflict with any other statement of Scripture or to … More Friday Feature Quote – “Why Doctrine Matters” – 12/26/2025
FSMandFSMWO prays your hearts are filled with the joy and peace that only comes from our risen Savior, whose birth we celebrate this Christmas. MacArthur’s quote is especially relevant today.
