1. Doctrines are the core building blocks of a healthy church

2. Removing or changing a doctrine leads to a dysfunctional gospel, disharmony in the church and failed witness in the community

3. We must pass on the important orthodox doctrines to the next generation, as they were passed to us

“Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and setup the kingdom of Heaven upon earth" - John Wesley

“Small towns often have, if they have anything, an assumed gospel. Don Carson wisely says that, “one generation believes the gospel, the next generation assumes the gospel, but the next generation denies the gospel.” But, with the data so clearly showing sin as reigning in small towns, we have to question if they haven’t moved past an assumed gospel to a full-blown denial of the gospel.” - Forgotten Church

“Train up a child in the way he should go – but be sure you go that way yourself” - Charles Spurgeon
