Paul's Manner of
Life
Part VI 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 Paul's
Manner of Life to Us
Review:
1.
Discover instead of following others!
2.
Decide, menpleasers or please God!
3.
Depart, in spite of others!
4.
Despise, for the sake of others!
5.
Destroy, for the sake of others!
6.
Prayer, for others!
7.
Tears, for others & knowing their tears as well!
8.
Grace, towards others!
Continuing:
9. Truth
Grace first, then truth!

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Colossians 1:6 - Which
is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit,
as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace
of God in truth:
Not one or the other - both!
Grace with out truth is a hyper gracer, modern Christian, etc.
Truth with out grace is a Ruckmanite, most street preachers, out of balance
but meaning well Bible Christians...
What is truth?
it makes you free - John 8:32,
thy word is truth - John 17:17, but...
answer with another question: "When? OT? Gospels? Tribulation?
Great Commission? Paul's? Today?

we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the
Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through
