For
bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all
things,
having
promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
This
is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
I Timothy
4:8,9

Therefore watch, and remember, that
by the space of three years
I ceased not to warn everyone night and
day with tears.
Acts 20:31
I write not these things to shame you, but
as my beloved sons I warn you.
I Corinthians 4:14
Nobody warns fathers as well as Paul!
Continue below and with this sermon to see just how much gold for fathers
is in this chapter of I Thessalonians 2.
"Thee' verses for fathers!
I Thessalonians 2:11,12
-
are we ready for verse 12?
-
have they done us like a good father?
-
have we followed them as good sons/daughters?
-
has it worked for us?
-
will it work for our families, too?
-
Is this our example / pattern?
Men's Bible study 'results?'
-
Personal studies at home of 'exhort,' 'comfort,' and 'charge.'
Read the previous verses backwards!
-
This reveals details on fathering according to Paul!
-
I Thessalonians 2:10 to 1
Another key verse
-
I Thessalonians 1:9,10
-
Have we turned?
-
Are we waiting?
-
Any doubt or not wanting...?
-
I Timothy 2:2 - a desire of you, men?
Ephesians 6:4 - vs Proverbs
22:6: Train up a child in the way
he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Still Difficult?
-
Just personal flesh issues? Romans 7
-
Claim to be a great scumbag yet won't do anything about it? You are
choosing to want it that way!
Can we not get out of that infamous snare?
-
religion
-
trusting in riches - making more money
-
pride
-
our parents parenting passed on to us?
-
under the thumb of an incorrect ungodly master?
-
old habits never die?
-
old nature still running the ship?
-
living by your country 'region' standards vs the Wild West?
We are trusting in the Living God, but are we
also hiding in Him?
Have we become so spoiled?
Are we not heeding his warnings?
Do you even remember Paul's warnings?
homes? - Behind Closed Doors!
-
quiet and peaceful in godliness and honesty?
-
Are there any women seriously wanting to know and grow more as a godly
woman?
-
Any aged men wanting to grow more ?
-
Any Paul followers ready for verse 12
yet?
-
Any young people wanting to be that example?
-
Fallen for the religion of false peace and flatteries?
-
Are there any fathers / men who can / will stop the coming shipwreck?
Heading for Shipwreck?
Learn from Paul's shipwreck!
Acts 27
-
We did a complete run through of this chapter a few years ago.
-
This chapter is a marvelously detailed commentary on how to handle the
coming shipwreck that this country and Christianity is headed for.
But it also shows us how to not allow our family's ship to wreck.
LISTEN TO PAUL'S ADVICE that the ship owner rejected!
-
Today's comments are a quick summary.
-
You can sure see a complete corollary to today's situation in most homes
- so many are on the brink of shipwreck. Just let those little kids
grow up with the Great Commission and you will watch them learn to hate
Jesus as did the Jews.
Acts 27:6 - Ship of Alexandria (bibles,
corrections, false doctrine, world, Egypt, etc.)!
verse 9: sailing is now in a dangerous
time zone!
10,11 - Paul KNEW lives were at
stake!
12 - Maybe we can still make it,
they mistakenly thought!
13 - oops - they were wrong!
15 - let the ship run on its own!
16-19 - attempts to fix the problem
20 - lost all hope
21-26 - Abstinence from Paul - His
message
27-28 - they kept it up
29 - more attempts
30 - tried to sneak away
31,32 - Paul catches them
33-35 - Paul preaches to them all
for wanting to sneak away
36 - Results of Paul
38 - Cast off more
39 - committed to the sea
40 - Made efforts
41-42 - eventually made it safely
That was just a fast summary. Read Acts
27 slowly and you will find a most fascinating subject that
we can learn from today!
