基要真理 │ What We Believe (Simplified Chinese Discovery Series Booklet)

有人说，对我们最重要的是对上帝的信心，信心是我们做任何事的根基。故此，我们的当务之急是明白我们相信什么，以及为何相信。没有任何事物，能比定意正确地思考我们自己、我们的上帝、我们的生命和我们的人际关系的意念，更能塑造我们的人格。

In Christ, truth is as essential as love, and love is as essential as truth.

Someone has said that the most important thing about us is what we believe about God.  That is not an overstatement.  Beliefs are at the root of everything we do.  Those beliefs may be unexamined, illogical, and blindly tied to our desires.  But they are constantly fueling and shaping what we do.  This is why the highest priority must be given to what we believe and why.  Nothing can shape human character more than minds and hearts determined to think right about ourselves, our God, our lives, and our relationships.  The case against doctrine is growing.  Doctrine is what distinguishes and breaks followers of Christ into thousands of denominations and subgroups. This booklet looks at the foundation of doctrine based not on tradition but on Scripture.
