Imputed Righteousness: An Alien Doctrine?

In their May 7th broadcast, Michael Horton and his guests deal with the Doctrine of Imputed Righteousness. A very eye-opening broadcast that deals with this crucial and life-changing doctrine. As they explain so eloquently, doctrine is a matter of life and death. A church that ceases to teach these important doctrines is a church that ceases to be Evangelical.

I about fell off my chair when I heard them interviewing Pastors at a recent Evangelical Pastor's Conference. 67% of those interviewed could not articulate what the doctrine is. Some of the answers were simply unbelievable.

It has reinforced my conviction that the church desperately needs sound doctrine. There is simply no excuse for churches not to be dealing with these issues on a consistent basis. Doctrine is important because God's word is important. God's word is important because God is important--we cannot separate our love for Christ with our love for his word. His word is life to us. It's His heart towards us. It is His revelation to a fallen world. Without the Doctrine of Imputation, we cease to preach the gospel.
