Teaching sound doctrine

 Teaching sound doctrine

“Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. 

But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.” Psalm 1:1-3.

At least in the part of the world where I live here in North America it’s easy to “walk with sinners” Quite often these sinners pose as Christian. The apostle Paul said of these people,

"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.  

They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." 2Timothy 4:3,4.

These are men and women Christian in name only. Who support things that are contrary to the teachings of God.

As believers we need to stop supporting such men and women and turn to the sound doctrine of the Bible.

Paul speaking of these false teachers states,

“What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?  God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:12,13

It is up to us to look at those calling themselves Christians and see what they really are teaching. Then if they are not teaching sound doctrine turn away from them.

If we do this. If we delight in the law of the Lord and meditate on His laws. We will bear fruit.

Have you checked the teaching of those religious leaders you follow? Do you question if they are teaching sound doctrine?

Please think about it.
