Sermon Series on Putting Paul's Gospel Into Our Own
Family Life
(based on my chart
tract)
|
First comes crucifying our flesh
/ world...
Galatians 5:24 - And
they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and
lusts.
Galatians 6:14 -
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
...then we can rise & live our
family life with Him as designed by Him which was then presented to and
patterned for us by Paul.
I Timothy 1:16 - Howbeit
for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew
forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe
on him to life everlasting.
Colossians 3:1 - f
ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where
Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
We continue to go deeper, just not different.
Remember - a more excellent way! the way of God more perfectly

-
"no hell"
-
use translation issue to get rid of
hell
-
no fear of God
-
bottom line - they won't acknowledge
truth - thus God will not give them repentance and the they will be in
delusion and will believe the lie of 'no hell' and the delusion that God
loves everyone - and will keep them from a true salvation.

II Timothy
2:25; II Thessalonians 2:10-12
Rick Warren's Peace Plan - fruit
of the "God loves you" modern christian statement!
-
"We give ourselves to him, not out
of fear or duty, but in love" - we don't give ourselves to him!!!
-
"We obey God, not out of duty or
fear or compulsion, but because we love him and trust that he knows what
is best for us." We can't love him or please him until we are
no longer in the flesh - Romans 8:8,9
-
"We don't serve God out of guilt
or fear or even duty, but out of joy and deep gratitude for what he's done
for us." Folks have no clue to what God has done with, by and
through His only begotten Son - it is the antichrist working these folks.
-
Psalm 147:11
(CEV) "The Lord is pleased only with those who worship him and trust
his love." ( KJV - The LORD taketh
pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.)
-
II Corinthians
5:18-19 (CEV) "God sent Christ to make
peace between himself and us. (KJV - And
all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus
Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit,
that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not
imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word
of reconciliation. He cleans
US up to Him! (Spirit of God, soul holy - flesh later...)
True peace
is not as the world giveth!
John 14:27
Peace
I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give
I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Rick Warren's
peace is a false flattering peace of the antichrist
I Thessalonians
5:3 - For when they shall say, Peace
and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a
woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Daniel
11:21 - And in his estate shall stand up
a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but
he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
There
is no fear of God before their eyes.
Romans
3:18
Where does:
'fear of God' fit in with Paul's dispensation of grace?
For home
application: If it does, where does 'fear of Dad' fit into a
home of grace?

them during rebellion, murmurings, etc. Even thinking they were doing

and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes
shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother
more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more
than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and
followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life
shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not:
sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer
him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger,
or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye
did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And
these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into
life eternal.
-
Matthew 18:8,9
- Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend
thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter
into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be
cast into everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it
out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with
one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

For
those folks today who say they have no fear of God,
nor
should we teach the fear of God...
They
will fear God again!
And
there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;
and
upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves
roaring;
Men's
hearts failing them for fear,
and
for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:
for
the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
And
then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great
glory.
And when
these things begin to come to pass, then look up,
and
lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Luke 21:25-27
