Are we a sound congregation?

Sound This term Sound is used many times in the New Testament. For instance: 2 Timothy. 4:3… “3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 2 Timothy 1:13… “13Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. Titus 1:9… “9holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.

What does it mean to be SOUND? To be sound, is to be “healthy or well” It is also to be "Stable, safe, secure, whole, firm" This is very much the definition according to the language, but when it comes to the Bible what exactly does it mean to be SOUND?

ARE WE A SOUND CHURCH? A CHURCH IS NOT SOUND JUST BECAUSE OF: Its fame! IT IS RIGHT IN DOCTRINE. EACH MEMBER FUNCTIONS AS A PART OF THE WHOLE. Are you a member of the sound church?
