2006 - Touchet Baptist Church, Touchet, Washington - Pastor Mike Paulson - 2006
Expounding the way of God more perfectly - Acts 18:26 - with the Scriptures Rightly Divided - II Timothy 2:15
Ripe for Conquest
Fatalism, Eyorism, Apathyism or Reality?

Outline to audio sermon given on December 20, 2006

II Thessalonians 2:1,2
Don't be troubled - verses 1,2
    Apostasy - verses 3-12
        But... verses 13,14
            Therefore... verse 15
                Now... verses 16,17

Let's look at apostasy tonight.

It isn't a fatalism attitude!
It isn't following Eyore!
It isn't always apathy!
It is apostasy!

Is it truly 'gain' (I Timothy 6:5)
or
Revelation 3:17 - increased with goods, etc. but knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
or
apostasy that leads to the Tribulation!


Apostasy - falling away from:

Falling away from God
Romans 1:21,23,25,28

Country falling away!
Isaiah 2:6-9
Isaiah 2-4:1
Isaiah 3:4-12
Proverbs 1:24-33
Jeremiah 33:11

Family falling away
Ephesians 4:11+ as the pattern of a Christian family - patterened after the purpose and direction of the local church - NOT Acts 2.
Ephesians 5 vs I Peter 3 - you can't have both...
Romans 1:24,26,27

The Good Deed Doers falling away
II Timothy 3:1-8
I Timothy 4:1

The Bible Itself
Amos 8:11-13 getting closer and closer
II Corinthians 2:17 - corrupt
II Timothy 2:16 - wrongly divided
I Corinthians 15:33 - evil communications
Ephesians 4:29 - corrupt communications
II Corinthians 11:23 - corrupted minds

Truth falling away
II Peter 2:2 - truth evil spoken of - happening more and more - closer and closer to Tribulation status!

Music falling away
Acts 17:24-26 - these verses destroy the modern Christian 'worship' emphasis!

Church falling away
I read examples of the church teachings that show that the Bible Believing Baptist churches are just flat falling apart when compared to Paul's teachings!


We are seeing the apostasy in the Independent Bible Believing KJB Baptist Church today...
...IF we look to Paul for whom we are to follow!
