I was asked this week to try to incorporate a broader foundation and perspective this week.   As we go through the 14 to 15 different topics, we will certainly cover an immense amount of terrain.   With this encouragement, I will especially try to highlight the 6 specific things the scriptures refer to as the doctrine of Christ.  Perhaps we can treat this as a bit of a group treasure hunt, and as we read verses in general, we can try to spot where these things pop up as we go.   The word refers to the principles taught here as “the foundation from which we can go on to perfection”.   So just a moment to encourage you all to keep an eye out for them in your own personal study times as well and do share what you find.  Blessings.
