Another Sermon for the Starving Bible Believing Christians All Over the World Wide Web
2006 - Touchet Baptist Church, Touchet, Washington - Pastor Mike Paulson - 2006
Expounding the way of God more perfectly - Acts 18:26 - with the Scriptures Rightly Divided - II Timothy 2:15
Rightly Dividing
The Flesh
Part III
It's Your Choice?
Not Really!
I.  Follow Jesus - by giving up the flesh!
Gospels-following Christians - including the brethren preaching the Great Commission
John 17:2

Matthew 16:24-27
Mark 8:34-38
Luke 9:23-26

Matthew 19:16-24

or

II.  Spirit of God upon the flesh!
Modern Christians following their music, pentecostalism, nation/worldwide movements
Acts 2:14-38 to Acts 7:54-58
Hebrews to Jude - last days - Tribulation - (I Timothy 4:1 - latter times - today!)

or

III.  Cut away from the flesh!
Truly saved Bible Believing KJB Christians
Colossians 2:11-15
Hebrews 4:12
Ephesians 6:17

So, if you choose 3 (you have no choice, actually!)
Now you have another choice to make!

A.  Grow up with Paul's teachings, ways and manner of life!
I Corinthians 13:11
Ephesians 4:14

or

B.  Be a child - spoiled - brat!
Things you want to do are wrong, but not imputed - so 'who cares!'
    does not edify the brethren
    causes others to stumble
    occasion for the flesh
    reap what you sow
    bad testimony
    unthankful
    abuse God's grace

Let's look to Paul for our example!

Paul - a man like us!  As low as us!  infirmity of the flesh! etc.
    Romans 6:19a
    Galatians 4:13,14
    I Corinthians 15:9,10
        not a game player
            I Corinthians 1:17
            I Corinthians 1:27-29
            I Corinthians 2:1-5
    II Corinthians 11:5,6

But he also had plenty of reasons he could have used to boast and glory in his flesh!
    II Corinthians 11:16-30
    II Corinthians 12:6,7
    Philippians 3:3-6

But he wouldn't - and didn't!
Philippians 3:7-9

Let's learn from Paul when it comes to OUR flesh!
