"Sound in Faith"

Our 'Faith' is challenged every day!

Based on II Corinthians 1:24
Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy:
for by faith ye stand.

If we lose faith, we no longer stand!
If we lose our stand, we no longer have joy!
If we lose our joy, we no longer have a true testimony!
If we lose a true testimony, we won't be sent!
If we are not sent, they will not hear preaching!
If there is no preaching, there is nothing for folks to hear!
If there is nothing to hear, there is nothing to believe!
If there is nothing to believe, there is no faith!
If there is no faith, there is no salvation!
If there is no salvation, the devil will take its place!
If the devil has replaced salvation, they will believe a lie!
If they believe a lie, what they will see will not be true.
If what they see is not true, they will never even seek the truth.

We must maintain our faith in Christ's faith!

Christ's faith won't change! Our goal is to have faith unfeigned! The grace of Christ Jesus is exceeding abundant with faith... - we ought not have any fear of losing His faith, etc.! A pastor's 'job' as is a fathers - to be a good nutritionist!

What CAN challenge our faith?

We men are to be sound in faith!
As addressed to Timothy & Titus by Paul...
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
Titus 2:1,2

Heed seducing spirits and doctrines of devils!
I Timothy 4:1,2 - Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Youth being despised!
  • I Timothy 4:12,13 - Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.  Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
  • a)  people despise the youth out of jealousy
    b)  a young person living a life that is despised by others
    c)  don't just rebel and do it your 'better' way - be the example!  Titus 2:6-8 -  Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,  Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
    Deny the faith Cast of thy faith Love of money Profane and Vain babblings Quit the fight! Not know Paul fully! Doubt the word being from Paul! Did not know from a child, so it is that much harder today. Not take a rebuke from the Scriptures!
