- How to Minister to Dogmatic Christians
- As a Christian, you are called to lead others to righteousness. God is speaking. Are you listening?
- As a Christian, you will suffer persecution, but the reward is beyond comparison to the temporary things that we suffer. If you suffer for doing wrong, that is nothing, but if you suffer for the fact that you live a righteous life and you don't deny Christ, that is everything. You may be called on to take a stand against the false teachings of the scoffers.
- As a Christian, you are called to have life and have it more abundantly. Read more. Read even more.

Basics of Dogma-based Christianity:
Dogma becomes a god along side of the God who gives revelation.
Dogma and doctrine, once disconnected from the only revelator, Jesus, is the dead letter... no matter how correct it might be."The letter killeth" 2 Corinthians 3:6
Typically, as the exaltation of a doctrine increases, the flow of the anointing and the ability to be led of the Spirit decreases.
God wants to be King of our lives, and He is a jealous God who won't share His glory with any of our mental exercise.
Doctrine is important, but only as it is alive with the Spirit of God.
The condition develops as the apostle Paul mentions in 2 Corinthians 3, that instead of being able to hear from God when the Scripture is read, the Dogma-based Christian only sees the veil in front of his or her face. The veil is not a physical veil as mentioned in this text, but it is a type or shadow of something else. The only reference that gives a key to this particular verse is another verse that reads: "the veil, that is to say, his flesh." The veil is a reference to the fleshly nature.
