This is the outline of the audio sermon
II Thessalonians 2:1-12
A snowball rolling down the hill - getting bigger and going faster
and faster.
Getting caught by the snowball by hanging around
too close complaining and whining about all that is being damaged and squashed.
II Thessalonians 2:13-17
Paul's comments on how to deal with the apostasy - the rolling snowball!
vs 2 - be not
soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor
by letter as from us...
vs 13 - give
thanks for your salvation
vs 15 - stand
fast
vs 15 -
hold the traditions he teaches (not man's traditions)
vs 16 - receive
His everlasting consolation and good hope through grace
vs 17 - comfort
your hearts
vs 17 - stablish
you in every good word
vs 17 - stablish
you in every good work
In other words, the apostasy is real and it is going to happen. WE ought not try to stop it or get shook by it all. It is going to happen. The Bible IS going to continue to be put down and put away. The churches are going to continue the trend they are following. The laws are going to continue to go against Christianity.
But don't get shook up about it.
But... remember as you stablish yourself in every good work and word, that Isaiah 5:20-23 says that what we know as good will be called bad, etc.
It isn't going to be easy - but praise the Lord we don't have the Tribulation itself to sweat, eh!
We must be bold! It is our little children we are talking about
here!
Some wanted to hear more - some didn't because of their envy and began contradicting and blaspheming - just like modern Christians, scholars, perverted pastors and their perverted bibles, etc.
Honourable and Devout Women!
What are you doing to prevent this happening to your kids?
Are you an 'honourable and devout' woman?
Contradict and blaspheme Paul's doctrine?
Deny Paul's doctrine to your kids?
Don't want to please God nor teach your kids how
to please God according to Paul?
Don't want to understand the Book and don't want
your kids to have that understanding, either?
OR
Are you a:
Phebe? Priscilla? Mary? Julia? Nerueus' sister?
Romans 16
Eunice, Timothy's mom; Lois, Timothy's grandma!
II Timothy 1:5; 3:15
Proverbs 31 woman
Titus 2 woman
An honourable widow indeed - I Timothy 5:3,10
Our kids need us to be bold with them and TO them!
(not angry and spanking crazy)
It's time here at Touchet Baptist Church to do something for them as
a church!
(only a few, but a special few)
Even if YOU are doing something at home, not all are - not all can!
They need to learn from Paul!
Girls - tonight, I am talking to mothers about their girls. Boys will come soon enough - let's start tonight with the girls.
If we only have some of our little girls on occasion - we sill still plant seeds and water them!
We must teach them, as girls, how they can learn to please God as they get older. How to be godly women according to Paul's gospel!
The Curriculum?
KJB - rightly divided
KJB - verses TO girls and women
Your example as women!
Teachers?
Mothers and grandmothers of this church
MAD - Mothers Against the Devil
FHG - Future Homemakers for God
Your girls need to be taught:
P.S. I see most dad's today actually ruining their little girls
to be their little boy!
I am not wanting to make our little girls into Victorian snobs, either!
And that rolling snowball of apostasy will destroy them in the name of the Laodicean church look of success.
And if we don't do this - shame on me as your pastor - and shame on us as a church!
And shame on you as a parent!
