We live in a changing world that is full of questions, and the answers must come from the unchanging truth of God's word.

Today we look into Scripture with Scott Paul to discover what the Bible says.

Ask the Lord to speak to you and to give you truth to share with others.

Libraries and bookstores are absolutely filled with men's opinions.

Radio, television, talk news, all of it, totally filled with

everybody's ideas about what they think is right. But I wonder how often we stop to say,

what does God think? Did you know that God's thoughts are revealed in His Word? And if you want to know what God thinks about something, then ask yourself this question,

what does the Bible say?

We're beginning this series of what the Bible says.

And I've started here by just laying a little foundation about the importance of what we call doctrine.

You know, that's a word that some people stay away from today.

Let me just tell you, doctrine is not a dirty word, not at all.

In fact, it's God's word.

Did you know that the word doctrine is found 51 times in 50 verses of your Bible?

Let me show you a couple of them today.

You may want to get a good concordance and look

them all up for yourself and walk through them and meditate on them. I've done that. And it's a rich,

refreshing way to study that Bible word. But let me show you the first one. The first one is

Deuteronomy chapter 32 and verse number two. Now remember the first time a word

is used in the word of God, it has great significance. It's the law first mention. Because the first

time it's given, it really gives a pattern to follow. It gives an opening truth, if you will,

that the Lord will consistently go back to.
