Welcome to Biblical Talks Encouraging Word for the Week, I am Rachel Tolliver, “ If we don’t know the Bible, if we don’t know doctrine, if we don’t know theology, it is virtually impossible for us to Identify false prophets” Voddie Baucham. Beloved, He’s saying that without a deep, working knowledge of Scripture, sound doctrine, and theology, believers are vulnerable—easily deceived by charismatic personalities, trendy teachings, or emotional appeals that contradict biblical truth. Beloved, Doctrine isn’t just information—it’s formation. It shapes character, fuels worship, and drives obedience.  It builds unity: Truth is the foundation of love and fellowship. Without it, the church fractures into factions.  It equips for mission: Sound doctrine gives the church a prophetic voice, not just a comforting echo. It enables bold, clear witness in a confused world.
