Serving the Lord is something that we are all called to do. Jesus said He chose us and ordained us that we should bear fruit that would remain. Just as He taught that whenwe do good deeds, He taught us how we are supposed to do them. That’s why today on Sound Doctrine we discover that Solomon speaks on matters that concern those who serve the Lord: vision, obedience, speech and so much more. Pastor Jeff begins our study titled, Solomon’s Last Words of Wisdom. So if you have a Bible join us in Proverbs 29 for today’s installment in Sound Doctrine.

The Bible tells us that righteousnessexalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to all people.

On today’s edition of Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff continues to show the characteristics of godly and ungodly behavior. We quickly begin to notice that what applies to an individual, applies to a nation as well. With more on this, let’s join Pastor Jeff in our study titled, “Godly Living” in Proverbs 29.

Ben Franklin said, “Experience is a dear teacher, and a fool will learn no other way.” While the book of Proverbs as a book of wisdom gives us the benefits of the wisdom and experience of Solomon, Hezekiah, and others, we can learn from their experiences so we don’t have to do the same thing. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff shares the do’s and don’ts of godly living, and Pastor Jeff has shared his own experiences in the growth of wisdom on his own journey with the Lord. It’s part of God’s encouragement to us with the first installment of our study titled, “Godly Living”. If you will, please open to Proverbs 29 for today’s encouragement in Sound Doctrine.

When you total the benefits that the believer enjoys in Christ vs. what we used to have in the world or thought we had, it’s not even close. We have been saved from sin, past, present, and future as well as look forward to spending eternity with our Lord and love, Jesus Christ. That’s why Pastor Jeff Johnson reminds us that God is with us, inhabits our praises and draws us close to Himself in ways that the world doesn’t appreciate and can’t imagine. Today on Sound Doctrine we are reminded that we will continue to experience God’s joy as we choose to focus on Him more than anything or anyone else. With our final installment in Proverbs 29, here now is Pastor Jeff.

The Bible tells us not to allow the world to squeeze us into its mold. The effect of the church in the world isn’t to simply keep us from being like the world, but to effectively cause others to hunger and thirst for the Lord. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson encouarges us to be the salt and light that Jesus has made us to be in order to naturally be a preserving agent to the growing darkness we see in our country and in the world. But it all depends on our focus. It’s part of our study titled, “It’s Your Choice”. And it’s our second installment in Proverbs 29. With that in mind, let’s join Pastor Jeff for today’s edition of Sound Doctrine.

What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? And have I committed it? It’s one of the most often asked questions among believers. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson reminds us that this is something that applies to non-believers who have hardened their hearts against God’s loving correction in their lives; those who think they have escaped from bondage to freedom, only to discover the opposite is true. It’s a healthy time of asking God to examine those areas we may have ignored His voice as well. We turn now to Pastor Jeff in our study titled, “It’s Your Choice” in Proverbs 29.

Security comes from a life of wisdom that trusts in God regardless of how we feel, what we see, or even what we think. Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson shows us two paths that we are walking in the Christian life: One where we trust in our own understanding, which is limited and finite. Or the other path were we can trust in God’s unlimited and infinite resources to reveal His wisdom to us. The choice we make now will determine the quality of our lives in Christ. With our final installment of our study titled, “When the Wicked Reign” in Proverbs 28, here’s Pastor Jeff.

As Americans we love the outdoors and open spaces. We love the freedom of having our own personal space as well. So when God instructs us to humbly confront a believer over an sin or issue that He wants to address, it can bring discomfort in the beginning, but will produce a legacy of restoration and love in the long run. That’s why today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson reminds us of the necessity of obeying the Lord when He tells us we need to confront someone. With our study titled, “When the Wicked Reign” he helps us to see the situations where rebuke is needed. With more on that in Proverbs 28, here now is Pastor Jeff.

In the tale of the Emperor’s New Clothes, the foolish ruler was convinced that he was wearing the richest, most luxurious clothing ever made, when in reality he was wearing nothing. Today on Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff reminds us that’s essentially what Jesus is calling many who rely on their own riches and are not rich towards the Lord. It’s a humbling and necessary look into the motive as to where our treasures truly lie by our actions, and not simply our words. With more on this subject, here is Pastor Jeff in Proverbs 28 with a message titled, When the Wicked Reign.
