Another Sermon for the Starving Bible Believing Christians All Over the World Wide Web
2005 - Touchet Baptist Church, Touchet, Washington - Pastor Mike Paulson - 2005
Expounding the way of God more perfectly - Acts 18:26 - with the Scriptures Rightly Divided - II Timothy 2:15

Let's Step Back and Take a Look at
The Big Picture of Rightly Dividing
Part I

I have a concern - I have become more and more aware of the difficulty of folks not able to 'release' the Great Commission from their life!  Folks are so hooked by their 'religion' - their baptist religion - their church going religion, their religious works that they have a horribly difficult time getting their Bible back to them!

A reformation is taking place in their personal spiritual life or they are just afraid to truly and honestly get ahold of this Book and let this Book get ahold of them!

Let's pause in this marvelous trail that God has taken us down and step back and look at the big picture of all this stuff about what I simply call the Greater Commission.

It is not a teaching  -  it is simply knowing how to rightly divide this Bible so when folks read this Bible, the Lord can do all that He says He will do through His words!  It is about supping with the Lord all by yourself!


Part I
Plain Premise
Plentitude of Problems
Ignorance of Biblically Positive Preaching

Part II
Proper Preaching
Perfect Peace


Part I
Plain Premise
Premise - is a proposition upon which an argument is based or from which a conclusion is drawn.

Preparations seem to be in high gear for the coming of the Antichrist...

...with the increase of efforts to bring the world together in unity, lost people as well as those who call themselves 'Christians' are falling for almost every 'new thing' that pops up in the media - especially if it is in the name of God or in the name of America.

This all only shows the great apostasy of the church...
... because it is all from the Great Commission portion of the Bible.


Plentitude of Problems Today
Plentitude - full supply!

I am not meaning to sound like a CC Christian - just that this is reality.

The world is as lost as ever - no better, no worse!  Lost is lost, dead in sins, no matter how 'good' they are.

But even Christianity today... Bible Believing Baptist Christians: Remember the premise?
This all only shows the great apostasy of the church ... because it is all from the Great Commission portion of the Bible and is nothing but the final preparations and tightening the noose for the Antichrist to step right up and be welcomed by all!

Ignorance of Proper Biblical "Positives"

For the list that was mentioned in the audio portion of the sermon, go to the back page of chart for detailed list of what all folks want from God.

These are truly what I would call Biblical Positives!

These folks will take a fine tooth comb and try to find out why NOT to go to Paul - they can't imagine the 'concept' of going beyond Jesus' teachings in the gospels.

"Positive thinking" doesn't bring these things to pass - only rightly dividing the word of  truth would bring these things to pass - and will happen only IF the Christian were to be serious in their Biblical growth in their walk with Christ in the Holy Scriptures.

Contrary to their belief and the preaching that folks receive today, these things can only be received by studying Paul's gospel in Romans through Philemon, NOT the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Jews in the Gospels and early Acts.
