Soundness

Recently, brethren have been critical of those who call for soundness in teaching and practice. In particular, they have expressed disdain for the phrase “a sound church.” Granted it is possible to possess a denominational concept regarding the identity of “a sound church.” There is not a list of “10 Essential Elements of a Sound Church.”

Yet, the concept of "soundness" is a biblical one which is applied to not only to teaching, but to the individual believer and the local church. Let's consider what the Scriptures mean by soundness asking ourselves whether or not we are sound.
