DOCTRINE

"Doctrine means teaching. Christ's talk to the multitudes on the mount is called doctrine, because "He opened His mouth and taught them." (Matt. 5:2).
---Some people express a sort of contempt for doctrine; they speak slightingly of it, as though it belonged to the realm of abstruse theology, and not to practical, every-day life. 
Such ones unconsciously do dishonor to the preaching of Christ, which was nothing else but doctrine
That is to say, He always taught the people. 
All true doctrine is intensely practical; 
it is given to men for no other purpose than to be practiced." 
 E.J. Waggoner
