Being a Christian is warfare!
I Timothy 1:18,19

But it is not a war with the lost - or with the government - the relatives, the friends,  the brethren, etc.

• KEEPING THE FAITH
• II Timothy 4:7 - I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

It seems that most here do want to learn the truth about it all... but who of you are willing to fight the right battles because of that very truth?!

• Afraid of legalism?
• Afraid of confrontation?
• Afraid of losing the discussion?
• Afraid of the 'ole' "Who are you to judge?" baloney?
• Afraid of losing kids?
• Afraid of losing wife / spouse?
• Afraid of being judged incorrectly?
• Afraid of crucifying your own flesh?
• Afraid of the work it will take to be a Rightly Divided Christian!  One with proper rewards waiting!

WORK - it isn't easy!  It isn't suppose to be easy!
Proverbs 14:23 - In all labour there is profit:  but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury. (extreme poverty - want of property)

• Life is not suppose to be easy!
• Being a Christian is not supposed to be easy!
• That KJB Bible is not supposed to be easy!  (simple, but not easy)
• Look at Paul's life as well as his teachings!
• A hard walk but it sure wasn't complicated!
• The Christian Walk is NOT easy - Christ ought to know!!!!!

II Corinthians 11:3 - But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

• Being a Christian parent - Mother / Father - is NOT easy - and it is getting harder and harder!
• Being a Christian husband / wife is not easy - and it is getting harder and harder!
• Being a Christian woman is NOT easy - and it is getting harder and harder!
• Let the woman of the world run the world!  Let them do the careers and workplace!  Let them play the games!  Let them be the man!
• Parents - bring your daughter up to be a Christian woman - according to Paul, according to Timothy and Titus!  It won't be easy!
• Husbands - have a desire to help your wife be a Christian woman!  Be the one to help her apply God's guidelines!  Any variation from the Scriptures today is wrong.  It is still wrong - no matter how you justify it - and dad's, you ought to know better by now around here!
• WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU DAD'S ANYWAY?
• Teaching them AWAY from the Biblical guidelines they are given!!!
• Allowing them to dress immodestly and show off parts of their parts!!!
• Letting them be loud and wild - not meek and sober!!!
• Letting them play the games of the world!!!
• Letting them play out of control and wild and spastic - 'to let out their frustrations and energy?"  Where is that in the Scriptures?  How do you teach self-control?  or do you even teach it to your children?
• Teaching them to fend for themselves 'just in case their life doesn't go right"!!!
• Titus 2:4,5; I Timothy 5:14,15
• Being a Christian aged person is NOT easy - can it get any harder?  But you have someone watching you for guidance and help!
• Being a Christian teen - young person - child - is NOT easy!  And as you grow up, it only gets harder!
• Hey - Being a Christian with his/her music learning how to please God is not easy - and it is getting harder!
• Rightly dividing the KJB Only - is not easy - simple, but not easy - and it will certainly get harder as it nears famine stages.
• Lastly - Being a Christian man is NOT easy - nor is teaching your boys to grow to be one - and it is getting harder and harder!

• Thus we must turn to Timothy from Paul's direction!
• 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.
• II Timothy 2:2 - And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

I see three great verses in I Timothy 4 - for all of us, but I will put it on the men tonight more than the others; however, you all can grab onto them yourself in however manner you believe God shows you tonight..

The three great verses for tonight?

• verse 6 - ... words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
• verse 15 - that thy profiting may appear to all.
• verse 16 - and them that hear thee.

We can change!
We can learn to walk!
We can do right to and for our kids!
We trust the Scriptures, right?
 
Onesimus did!

• Philemon 1:11 - Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me.
