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

Rick Warren's Peace Plan - fruit of the "God loves you" modern christian statement! 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?


Old Testament:

God would kill them during rebellion, murmurings, etc.  Even thinking they were doing right in their own eyes (Uriah), God would kill them.  God was Holy - He HAD TO!

According to Psalms and Proverbs, it is a good thing to fear the LORD!

Gospels
Describes the everlasting fire, damnation, etc.

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
