Various -isms: False Doctrines in our World Today

I once heard a joke about a young preacher being carefully admonished by a much older preacher. “Young man, the trouble with our world today is all the -isms. Calvinism, Darwinism, Humanism – if something ends in -ism you can just mark it down as unscriptural!” The young man thought long and hard and then asked, “Sir, what about baptism?” The old preacher never missed a beat. “That’s the trouble with this younger generation,” he opined. “They don’t know the difference in a -tism and an - ism!”

I hope and pray this issue of Abundant Life successfully differentiates between -tisms and -isms! More to the point, I hope we will all be interested in some of the most common false doctrines propagated in our world today. May this issue help you be even more ready to fulfill 1 Peter 3:15, and to stand strong yourself.
