I’ve just finished reading Mike Morrison’s article in the June WN titled "Who Is This Man?"

It was truly excellent! It taught essential, orthodox Christian doctrine concerning our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and it did so thoroughly with the Scriptures needed to back it up.

I was so encouraged to see that article in the WN. We Christians need to get into God’s Word and get God’s Word into us. We especially need to be solid and orthodox in our understanding of the essentials of the Christian faith.

There can be honest disagreement on important but secondary issues of the faith, but on the essentials (the critical main and plain teachings of the Bible) there must be unity. We must be so familiar with the truth of God’s Word that we will recognize heresy, false gospels and wolves in sheep’s clothing when we encounter them and, also, that we will not be seduced or misled by the teachings of our culture.
