Another Sermon for the Starving Bible Believing Christians All Over the World Wide Web
2005 - Touchet Baptist Church, Touchet, Washington - Pastor Mike Paulson - 2005
Learning the way of God more perfectly - Acts 18:26 with the Scriptures Rightly Divided II Timothy 2:15

Truth or Consequences
A Series on Rightly Divided Judgment
"Lest..."
Consequences of our daily actions...
...not God's judgment!

This is only an outline of the 'lest' verses - listen to the audio for the details.
This is just a quick list - not even in the order of the preaching!

These are verses that have a cause and affect application.  Since we see no judgment from God nor will we until the Tribulation (and Christians won't even see that), we must note that the things that take place in our life are the results of our actions.

There are afflictions as well, but that sermon will come at a future date.

God and longsuffering
Romans 2:4
Romans 9:22
I Timothy 1:16
II Timothy 4:2
II Peter 3:9

Galatians 6:7-9 - reap what you sow, etc.
Galatians 5:9  A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.  - Maybe the leaven in your life has finally lumped out!

Further the Gospel!
All that happens to us is just another opportunity to further the gospel, as Paul states in Philippians 1:12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;

You sure can't claim Mark 14:38, Mat 5:25; 7:6 - so be careful in your rightly dividing - make sure it is rightly divided!

Stay in Your Book - don't depart from Him - see Revelation 3:20.  He doesn't go anywhere - we do!
Psalm 28:1
Psalm 143:7
Proverbs 20:13
Proverbs 25:8

Miscellaneous consequences for our actions
Romans 11:25
I Corinthians 8:9
I Corinthians 8:13
I Corinthians 9:27
I Corinthians 10:12
II Corinthians 11:3
II Corinthians 12:7
Galatians 6:1
Colossians 2:1-4

Paul's concern was for his people, not himself!
Galatians 4:11
I Thessalonians 3:5

Rightly Divided thus the need to be rightly applied
Hebrews 12:3
Hebrews 12:15
II Peter 3:17
Revelation 16:15

General wisdom concerning our life of afflictions and consequences for all to learn!
Proverbs 25:8,16, 17
Proverbs 26:4,5
Proverbs 30:6
Proverbs 30:8,9
Proverbs 30:10

But remember, DON'T BLAME GOD for your miserable, difficult or unhappy life, etc.
Look to Paul in Philippians 4:7-9 to learn how to deal with it all.
(A little Jeremiah 1:10 wouldn't hurt either, I figure!)
