The
entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO
us!
We
learn from the "For" and study Paul's writings to apply the 'TO!"

| Has God Forsaken Young Women With Shipwrecked Lives? |
Tonight is not about or to anyone in any specific manner. The
sermon series on boys is coming soon - tonight is for your daughters.
- Former church members girls - any age
- Our church girls
- Our grandkids / boys and girls (girls tonight, boys soon...)
- webfamily girls and parents of...
- single women
- divorced women
- women without fathers
- women with worthless fathers
- women with lost fathers
- miserably married women
- young middle-aged working women with no family
- young middle-aged working women with families that don't understand Paul's ways
- even
the aged women or nearly aged who may still be seeking their purpose in
life, yet seeking Paul's manner of life for themselves...
- And to the aged women, you who are suppose to be teaching the younger women, by example and word, may I ask...
- 1) Do you understand Paul?
- 2) Do you understand the Risen Christ and the Living God?
- 3) Are you experienced in Paul's manner of life?
- 4) Or do you give advice based on your own personal upbringing, but not Bible or Paul's manner of life?
- 5)
Not that it is the right way, but can some younger women possibly
teach you somethings today about being a Christian woman?
Tonight - Part I
This is practical stuff to the max!
This is Sound Doctrine to the max - totally provable by rightly divided King James Scriptures!
This is the stuff that Christians today will NOT ENDURE!
This will not scratch any itching ears tonight - most of your ears are not itching this particular subject.
More than likely, you will turn away your ears, and shall continue to be turned unto fables!
This teaching is almost unheard of except in serious false Gospel following families such as Amish, etc. who believe in the exact letter of the law, etc.
This
is not about the letter of any law!!! This is about Paul's manner
of life - as taught by Paul, from the Risen Christ - the Living God and
is directed to women today, especially the younger ones as described
above.
This sermon will bring afflictions to me and to others - we/they will suffer reproach for this and yet we must endure this hardness as a soldier!
This sermon can only be delivered as the work of an evangelist - this will not 'build' any church these days.
However, I also believe this will make full proof of my ministry as a self-employed pastor/preacher/teacher.
To some folks, this is solid doctrine, but most won't believe it, now will they want to!
To some folks, this is reproof, but most won't take it!
To some folks, this is correction, but most won't make any effort to make that correction.
To some folks, this is instruction in righteousness, but most are in such a mess that they believe it can't be done, as wonderful as it sounds!
This could be my last 'issue' I preach before I also have to say...
- For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
- I do want to be able to say someday...
- I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
- I hope I can also say...
- Notwithstanding
the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching
might be fully known, and that all [those that hear me preach] might hear: and I was
delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
I Timothy 3:1-11
- I do believe we are still in the Philadelphian church era - but BARELY!
- We are seeing the folly of a false Christianity - an imitation! A fake! A fraud! A lie!
- II Timothy 3:1-8 almost reads Christian today exactly!
- Verse 9 talks about the folly - they don't know, (verse 10) and don't want to (verse 11,12).
Acts 17
- People today are worshipping an UNKNOWN GOD!
- There also those who are trying to follow an unknown Risen Christ!
- There also those who are trying to learn from an unknown Paul!
- There also those who are trying to learn from an unknown King James Bible!
- There are those who still struggle trying to learn from an unknown pastor who is trying to preach the word in season, out of season!
- Unfortunately, most of the brethren are even unknown brethren!
I Timothy 4:13
- Most 'Christians" today are not giving attendance to reading, exortation or to doctrine!
I Timothy 6:8-10
- Goners - hooked into the world system - addicted to American lifestyle of folly Christianity.
- Most Christians today have fallen into temptation and the snare of the devil, who are taken captive at his will!
- Most Christians today have fallen into foolish and hurtful lusts!
- Most Christians today are drowning in destruction and perdition!
- Most Christians today are trusting in uncertain riches for their happiness, peace and growth, etc.
- Most Christians today covet money - filthy lucre - either by choice or forced into it by circumstances in their shipwrecked life!
- More and more Christians continue to err from the faith!
- More and more Christians have pierced themselves through with many sorrows!
- More and more Christians are not content with food and raiment!
- Christians are not fleeing from the love of money!
America is doing the same thing - the world is ripening for the Antichrist!
I Timothy 6:11
Christians do not want to follow
- after righteousness (only our own); godliness (misunderstanding of definition); faith (our own, not his); love (humanistic, not God's); patience (we have none - we want things NOW); meekness (only in men, not in any women!)
I Timothy 6:12
There is no fight left in us!
- we are letting down our shield of FAITH!
- doubts on practicality of Paul's preaching and manner of life...
- Can we actually LAY HOLD on eternal life?
- prove it with Scriptures, that you have the risen Christ, not the 'another Jesus,' etc.
- Christians with a KJB and now with Paul's gospel, etc. are not professing a good profession before many witnesses...
- What kind of 'rescue' plan do we have for people today?
- Spiritual only?
- doctrinal issues, works, lies, etc. teachings.
- Physical only?
- food kitchens, clothing, Salvation Army, etc.
- Both?
I Timothy 6:20
II Timothy 2:15,16
- We just can't stay away from profane and vain babblings!
- leads to an increase unto more ungodliness
Acts 2:41-47
- We still desire:
- 1) have favour with all the people!
- 2) looking for just a few signs and wonders!
- 3) to continue steadfast in apostles doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
- 4) but we won't part with our possessions and goods ...
Galatians 5:1
- We know about liberty in Christ
- all things are unlawful - but do we know the 5 strings attached so
that we should not CHOOSE to do things that are not pleasing to God - those things that are not expedient.
- Do we even consider them in our day to day choices?
Ephesians 2:7
- Do you recognize 'first hand' the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus...
Philippians 4;9
- But do we understand yet Paul's manner of life in our own lives?
I Thessalonians 4:1
- Do we actually want to please the Risen Christ and Living God?
Ephesians 3:18,19
- Are we
able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and
depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth
knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Ephesians 4:1
- Do we teach our children by example / ensample how to walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye and they will be called.
Ephesians 4:14-16
- Can we teach the truth in love?
- Can we hear the truth with love?
- Are we willing to grow up into him in all things...
- Are we still capable of being carried about by every wind of doctrine?
- Do we allow ourselves to be
fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint
supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every
part, maketh increase of hte body unto the edifying of itself in love?
- or will we run away when God tries to fit us in to the family!
AWAKE
- Ephesians 5:14-17 - Wherefore
he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ
shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as
fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are
evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will
of the Lord is. TOWARDS OUR CHILDREN - TOWARDS THOSE WHO ARE SHIPWRECKED!
Ephesians 6:1-4/Colossians 3:20
- We ask them to obey us, but what is it that we ask them to do!
- What direction are we sending them?
- What is the nurture and admonition of the Lord?
II Corinthians 2:11
- What do we do about the devices of the devil that gives him advantage over our children?
I Timothy 4:1
- What are we doing to protect them from him - those seducing spirits and doctrines of devils?
- Do
our kids learn fables because we don't know / or won't know - or don't
/ won't DO - what the word preaches practically for our daily lives?
- Do we allow the devil to subtilty beguile our children through his subtilty, as he did Eve? II Corinthians 11:3,4
- How about our wives? Younger women?
- They are the ones easily deceived, right? I Timothy 2::14,15

What Does God Have for the Misfortunate - the Shipwrecked Women in the rocks of today's Christianity?

What are their options?

- give the kids to the relatives?
- Go out to the world for help?
