Keeping Your Focus in Times of Frenzy, Fray, Frustration, and Filth: Part 3 by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

2 Timothy 4:3a - "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine" In PART THREE of this series we focus on the Principles of Sound Doctrine . Paul warned that the time will come when people will not endure sound doctrine. They will not embrace, support, or tolerate sound, healthy, wholesome, wise, moral, biblical doctrine or teaching. They will spurn or reject it. Sound doctrine includes Bible-based teaching that accurately interprets the Scriptures. People are going to view the Scriptures as useless and irrelevant because they are indifferent toward them as well as God. Sound doctrine is extremely important because what you believe will determine how you behave and look at God or other people. Romans chapter one describes people who spurn sound doctrine as having “reprobate” minds. We define the meaning of the word “reprobate” in the message. We also take time in the message to focus on the importance of purity in your life. We are to be good ambassadors of Christ and to protect God’s name by the way we live. A good name and testimony for Christ is important. Do you have a good name? * Proverbs 22:1—A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. This message was preached on Wednesday night May 21, 2025, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
