Part
II - June 3, 2007 a.m. - Conclusion
We
just can't go back in time - 'the way things were' - we still know
the Lord has NOT rejected us - or forsaken us, etc. nor do we have to worry
about the Tribulation judgment.
-
However, God
appears to be pulling back and away more and more!
-
Proverbs 1:24-33
-
Jeremiah 33:11
- The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness,
the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them
that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his
mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of
praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the
captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.
-
Jeremiah 25:10
- Moreover I will take from them the voice
of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the
voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
-
See Lamentations
5:20-22 - Wherefore dost thou forget us
for ever, and forsake us so long time? Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD,
and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. But thou hast utterly
rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
-
We are not going
to ever get to the place of rejection and being forsaken anymore - the
Tribulation is not our future destination!
But
still - we need to be 'charged' everyday - or even more often!
The word
is RENEW!
-
It is ok to need
to be renewed, but it is not ok to not get renewed when it is so plainly
available!
-
Romans 12:2
- And be not conformed to this world: but
be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what
is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
-
II Corinthians
4:16 - For which cause we faint not; but
though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
-
Ephesians 4:23
- And be renewed in the spirit of your
mind;
-
Colossians
3:10 - And have put on the new man, which
is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: the
more we learn of Him through Paul, the more we are renewed!
-
Titus 3:5 -
Not
by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy
he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
- KJB - etc.
Paul
puts some charges toward us - especially through Timothy.
We are beyond
Paul - on to Timothy, Titus, Philemon - but o course, as Paul has taught
them towards us!
Pick
up from last week:
I Corinthians
9:18 - What
is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the
gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
He is free
from all men to preach and write what he needs to!
His word would
have free course - II Thessalonians 3:1
- Finally, brethren, pray for us, that
the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it
is with you:
Are we running
low on godly and proper desire?
Accept
Paul's Charges!
I.
This epistle be read unto all
-
I Thessalonians
5:27 -
I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
-
Have you read
it all?
-
Has it all been
read to you?
-
Do we do this
here?
II.
To teach no other doctrine!
-
"other doctrine"
is rampant - everywhere!
-
subliminal and
obvious
-
Islamic, etc.
-
tolerance - not
divisive - not discriminating - not hurtful - not hate, etc.
-
schools, workplace,
homes, relatives, churches, TV, videos', movies, etc.
-
Tell folks
"It goes against Paul's teachings"
-
I Timothy 1:2-4
-
Unto
Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our
Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. As I besought thee to abide still at
Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that
they teach no other doctrine, Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies,
which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith:
so do.
-
Galatians 1:6-12
-
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the
grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there
be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you
than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As
we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel
unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do
I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased
men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren,
that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I
neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation
of Jesus Christ.
-
I Corinthians
4:17 - For this cause have I sent unto
you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall
bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every
where in every church.
