...Put On...
General Outline of
verses used in audio sermon
Are you tired
of the persecutions, rejections, arguments, the 'hate' you receive ...
and all you are trying to do is live to serve and please God by following
Paul's 'ways' and making those changes in your life - or at least trying...
- as the Scriptures tell us to do?
Maybe we have been sincere
in our trying to do Paul's ways
but NOT IN HIS 'MANNER' OF DOING
THOSE WAYS?
Let's consider these things as we
learn to live Paul's ways - the ways taught to us by the Risen Saviour.
Without considering these things listed below, we may be doing more damage
to our 'listeners' than we realize.
For
meat destroy not the work of God.
All
things indeed are pure;
but
it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
Romans
14:20

Manner of Life to Us

Matthew
6:24-34; Luke 12:22-32 is
not to us today at all. Go ahead, if you think it is, then drop your
job - quit 'earning' an income and let God provide! Or... get mad
at God when He doesn't provide... take your pick, but you are messing with
verses that were written to Jews - NOT to us today (or even Gentiles during
those days). Read Matthew 6:32 -
Jesus said that Gentiles are always worried about having things... and
we still are today! That is why we have made God be our provider
when in all actuality, you have a JOB. When you lose that job, you
sweat and wonder how to pay the bills, etc. You can sit around and
wait for God to provide because you want to claim those verses and make
Jesus the magic Saviour but don't get mad Him when you don't get a job
- or your health goes bad when you are out of work, etc. If you want,
you can blame yourself - you can to someone they don't have enough faith,
or they haven't tithed, or they are somehow out of fellowship with God,
etc.
All because
you are trying to claim verses that are NOT written TO you.
However,
Paul does tell us very specifically what we should put on - but note they
are spiritual things.
This morning
we will do just one!
-
Romans 13:12
- The night is far spent, the day is at
hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on
the armour of light.
-
Note: not
only are we to cast off the works of darkness, we are to reprove them
- not just give some flimsy, cowardly excuse for not participating.
-
Ephesians 5:11
- And have no fellowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
-
A cowardly Christian
is one who will do the 'right' thing but has some worldy excuse - too much
of a coward to say that it isn't something that pleases God, etc!
-
Armour of light
today is a King James Bible, rightly divided in the hands of a Paul following
Christian being led by the Spirit of God, as spoken to us through Paul
by the Risen Saviour. THAT is how we'see,' today!!

The entire
King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO us!
We learn
from the "For" and we learn to apply the 'TO!"
These writings
of Paul are directly from the Risen Saviour to Paul...
...and
then to us through the King James Bible by the Holy Ghost!
