Top Highlights
“but in humility count others more significant than yourselves” (Page 79)
“Finally, sound doctrine is a guard against false teaching.” (Page 41)
“Every biblical doctrine, embraced by the mind and applied to the heart, conforms us to the character and will of God. Sound doctrine drives us to devote ourselves more completely to God in our thoughts, desires, attitudes, words, and actions—which is what the Bible calls ‘holiness.’” (Pages 51–52)
“Viewing Scripture as a single story is one of the most important lenses for reading it rightly, and it brings some of the greatest rewards.” (Page 36)
“First, the main point of the church’s weekly assembly is to edify believers (1 Cor. 14:12, 14, 26” (Page 42)
Scripture is for sound doctrine, sound doctrine is for real life, and real life is for real church growth. So says Jamieson, and he hits the nail on the head brilliantly every time.

‘Pay heed to your doctrine.’ That imperative for faithful Christianity sounds to many Christians altogether abstract and remote from the life of the church. Bobby Jamieson believes otherwise, and Sound Doctrine is a masterful argument for doctrine that is not only deeply rooted in the church, but also produces a church that demonstrates both the grace and glory of God.
—R. Albert Mohler Jr., president and professor of Christian theology, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
A true Christian experience involves more than sound doctrine, but it is nothing without it. Bobby helps us see how sound doctrine not only shapes but also empowers all ministries in the local church, from effective outreach to authentic small groups. This book could serve as a starting point for thinking through a philosophy of ministry.
