I appreciate your thoughts on this topic. The two go hand in hand. At issue, of course, is which ‘deep’ interpretation of doctrine? Yes, there are those who hold a very shallow faith. Yet, there are many who are ‘deep’ thinkers who understand doctrines like hell differently. From there perspective a literal reading of the text is a ‘shallow’ reading. i.e. if we dig ‘deeper’ we discover something far more profound. May we all continue to dig ‘deep’ into the word as the Word guides us.

i completely agree with your comment about doctrinal preaching and effective evangelism. how can they not go hand-in-hand if doctrinal preaching is filled with the passion that is only ignited by a Spirit filled life. doctrinal preaching is imperative –but we are told not just to preach but to make disciples as well. i think we can spend our lives in a seminary context and forget to take our heads out of the books and apply this vast knowledge to the great commission. what is doctrinal preaching without seeing His name be made great among the nations. I say take that doctrinal preaching and win those from every tribe and tongue.
