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

What Is It To Be a Christian Today?
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty,
so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
II Corinthians 11:3

We begin a series looking at Paul's preachings and teachings
to see how it is we should be in order to 'be' a Christian.

The Effect of Righteousness
The Wisdom of Quietness
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
Isaiah 32:17,18

Can this be possible in our own home?  in our own local church?  in our own personal 'inner' life?
Sure thing!

God's righteousness for our inner peace
and
Our own righteousness for our daily 'practical' life...
...I'll say it again, as we follow Paul, NOT the gospels
