Every year, people all over the world celebrate the LGBTQ lifestyle, in what they call “Pride Month.” But when you open the Scriptures, God makes it very clear what He thinks of this behavior and what it leads to. We all know someone who has fallen into that sinful lifestyle, and it's heartbreaking to see the destruction it causes. So today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff will encourage us to agree with God, helping us understand what's really going on around us.

As we look at the perversion and darkness all around us today, we have to wonder how we have gone is far astray from God's will and desire for our world. There has to be something that can be done to stem the tide of destruction we see taking place. Romans chapter one lays that out for us. Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson talks more about the pathway to perversion our world is on, and God's answer to that perversion.

If you'll recall in our recent studies of Acts on Sound Doctrine, we read about the Apostle Paul's shipwreck off the coast of Malta. We saw that, despite the challenges, Paul didn't let his circumstances derail him from his true focus - sharing the love of Christ! And what great encouragement that is to us to take advantage of the opportunities we have even today. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/621/29
Today on Sound Doctrine we join pastor Jeff Johnson in Acts twenty-seven. Paul is at sea and on his way to Rome with a couple hundred other men.

Endure Sound Doctrine: Walking Upstream in the Last Days | KIB 496 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing #496, Dr. Michael & Mary Lou Lake call the remnant to endure sound doctrine (2 Timothy 4) and reject the avalanche of error sweeping the modern church. From hermeneutics (exegesis vs. eisegesis) to functional kingdom theology, they unpack how to live the ultimate counterculture—holy, steadfast, and free from Babylon's influence. Includes intercession, ministry updates, biblical correction done in love, and a closing prayer commissioning the remnant to walk the King's Highway. Key Scriptures: 2 Timothy 4:1–5; themes of holiness, sanctification, endurance, and returning to the full counsel of God (Genesis → Revelation). Prayer Focus & Updates: Intercede against occult activity, protection of children, healing for Justin & spouse, Troy's surgery, and continued recovery after cataract surgery. Note the overlap of Fall Equinox (Sept 22) with Feast of Trumpets—pray that the authority of Jesus neutralizes darkness. ⏱️ Chapters / Timeline 00:00 – Opening & Mission of KIB: equipping the end-times remnant 02:05 – Intercession & Prayer Requests (healing, protection of children) 05:05 – Ministry/Health Update: cataract surgery & reading challenges 07:40 – Why the Reformation “never ends”: confronting today's drift 10:15 – Exegesis vs. Eisegesis: letting Scripture speak for itself 13:20 – 2 Timothy 4: Preach, reprove, rebuke, exhort—in that order 17:10 – Counterfeit “revelation” vs. sound doctrine & holy living 21:35 – Walking upstream: being salt & light in a paganized culture 25:10 – Money, “little gods,” and character: what Jesus really forms in us 29:00 – Doctrine = how you live: Monday-through-Saturday discipleship 33:05 – Entertainment, “itching ears,” and the trap of fables 37:20 – Wolves, drift, and the need for apostolic correction 41:00 – Pagan syncretism through history; why “identify with the world” fails 45:30 – Holiness: the “absolute other” and the true counterculture 49:10 – Wounds in the body & in leaders; healing in clean waters 52:30 – Rhythms of the Kingdom: feasts, Sabbath, sanctification cycles 56:00 – Functional Kingdom Theology: practical, faithful obedience 59:20 – One Bible, Whole Counsel: OT foundations & NT fulfillment 1:03:10 – Leaving Babylon step-by-step; being led by the Holy Spirit 1:06:00 – Closing prayer: set our feet on the Pathway of Truth About KIB equips believers with intel for the last days—to stand in truth, reject deception, and live out biblical holiness by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Maybe you've noticed as you've shared the gospel, not everyone reacts the same way. Yes there are those that embrace the message, but some get angry, others defensive, and some even get really close and are almost persuaded. Today on Sound Doctrine we'll take notice of these different reactions, and how we should respond to them. We're finishing up our series, “Being a Witness” today.

Today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson is a carefully crafted full-on rant about two awful cultural failures, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. Both, in their own ways, are failing the next generation and pushing the normalization of pedophilia. Trump refuses to release the Epstein list or hold powerful pedophiles accountable. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift flaunts her naked body on her album cover marketed to an audience that includes young girls who are already being tempted by a society pushing them toward OnlyFans. Feminism has clearly failed. We need to bring back the biblical patriarchy, AKA Christianity.At some point, we have to stop asking why is all of this happening and start living biblically individually, in our families, and as a society. For the sake of our own wellbeing and (far more importantly) the protection of our children. If we can't even agree to safeguard their innocence, what are we doing? Why aren't we protecting the children?--https://bakerbookhouse.com/featured/the-brand-sunday
God has a plan for our lives. And often, that plan doesn't resemble out own plan. But even is we follow God's plan, don't think for a minute it's going to be a cake walk.

Today on Sound Doctrine we'll see the danger of procrastination. Pastor Jeff Johnson directs us to Acts twenty-four, and looks at Felix's response to Paul's message. Felix put off the decision to trust in Christ for forgiveness. And this same thing happens all over the world today. The consequences can be devastating.

In some areas of life, procrastination isn't such a big deal, but putting off salvation is never a good idea because we're not guaranteed tomorrow! We'll see a good example of that as we turn back to Acts twenty-four here on Sound Doctrine. Felix is about to hear the good news from the apostle Paul, but rather than embracing Christ, he puts it off! There's a lot of that going on today!

Unfortunately, fear seems to be considered a sin among Christians which causes some to lie about the fear they experience. We are not to embrace fear, but we don't ignore it either. Many great people in the Bible such as Moses, Daniel, Joshua, David, and Paul experienced fear. Yet, some in the church are frowned upon when they admit they experience fear. Fear is NOT the opposite of faith, but it can be a by product of what is the opposite of faith. In this message we look at fear and how the Bible lets us know that there is a good fear to have. The good fear can help us to overcome the natural fears we may face.
Today on Sound Doctrine we'll be encouraged to compromise in certain areas, if it'll help win someone to Christ! We see this modeled for us by the apostle Paul in Acts chapter twenty-one, as he became all things to all men in order to win some! This is a vitally important message in 2025.
