| Always Follow Paul Alway |
Rejoice in the Lord
alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
Philippians 4:4
Alway - NOT "always"
Deuteronomy 11:1 - Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God,
and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his
commandments, alway.
Romans 11:10 - Let their eyes be darkened, that they may
not see, and bow down their back alway.
Titus 1:12 - One of themselves, even a prophet of their
own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow
bellies.
Colossians 4:6 - Let your speech be alway with grace,
seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every
man.
Philippians 4:4 - Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say,

Always Following Paul Alway!
II Corinthians 4:10-11 - Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
The life of Jesus that is to be made manifest is the life AFTER He has risen, NOT the life during the gospel time - that was to the Jews! We can't manifest that life of his from then. That is the job of the antichrist to fool those Christians who are ignorant of the Scriptures. :-)
II Corinthians 1:8-10 - For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
Past - delivered us
Present - doth deliver us
Future - will yet deliver us
Following Paul alway will expose:
The Laodicean church - Revelation
3
just how sick things are when compared to the
Book!
godliness without the power thereof (they turn to prayer, music, unity, etc. for power)
A false holiness from the church - not just
briders anymore...
denominationalism (baptists are just another
denomination with its own rules, etc. - the word of man)
deception of church teachings of itself - read
what a baptist says a baptist is
The real church
body of christ - and universal
Ephesians 4
Our Addiction - bondage
II Peter 2:18-20
to church
to the pastor
to the preaching
to the 'format'
to the 'design'
to the standard
to the music
to the appearance
to liberty
abuse it
cause others to
stumble
not edify the truth
Our good works were being done for the wrong reason!
fear
god will gitcha
pastor will gitcha
church will church ya
blessings
self oriented
Good works for the right reason!
to love Him more as we grow up and put away
childish things.
to please Him
saved to do good works
walk holy because we are holy, not 'to be'
holy
vessels of gold later, not now!
True value of a formal Bible education
take away the Book - even if they say they are
KJB
greek and Hebrew
lexicons
the sermons and
teaching of the great personality
church
True value of a proper Bible education
local church / pastoral guide /
preaching / studying, etc.
Ourselves
ignorance of the Book - willingly?
follow preachings but
never know the Book
knows certain verses
but never in context
inability to do
anything with the Book on your own
laziness when it comes
to reading and study - seeking answers, light and direction, etc.
the fables and vain
babblings that we have been believing - and 'walking' for those
who were honestly trying...
Antichrist
the subtleties in our own BB church and homes
how he has been slowly picking away at us -
even by some good folks - all kinds of music and all kinds of
folks
not be ignorant of his devices - more than
just a few
Paul brings us into a clearer focus as to what
the antichrist is doing these days - blatant and obvious - but
more and more ignore / deny!
The book exposes the antichrist, NOT the
church. The church is busy with the antichrist!
Apostasy!!
Movies created and being used by the
antichrist:
Lion King
Nemo
Narnia
images taking over words!
lucy? - Lucifer?
sublime images in mts and clouds, etc. Lots of fake imagery
annimation and special effects entice us
"exceed imagination' when we are suppose to cast them down
lest we become vain in them - II Corinthians 1-:5; Romans 1:21
Disney - hello! Like Disney has ever been a friend to truth
and the church - and now they are working with churches?
the main character is a lion! I Peter 5:8 Aslan (Islam?)
against a 'white' witch? what is that - we can't see that
trickery????
humans and animals - centuars
since when do we need mythology to teach 'truth'
glorifies evil, even if they do 'lose' in the end
'magic' of Narnia
400 years
Sons of Adam to fulfil prophecy
'a perilous journey' - perilous? as in II
Timothy 3 per chance?
'good works' over 'evil' - standard Great Commission message - OT,
etc.
ladies are the heroes
C.S. Lewis was not even a Christian! - a realist - did not
believe in the devil - and only OT and Gospels!
When these things are exposed,
we can then deal with them,
and grow more and more towards perfection!
I Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren,
and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us
how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more
and more.
But it must be by the Book -
in the church...
not...
By the church - in the book!
All scripture is given by inspiration
of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect,
throughly furnished unto all good works.
II Timothy 3:16,17
P.S.
The church is the pillar & ground, not the truth!
But if I tarry long, that thou
mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of
God,
which is the church of the
living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
I Timothy 3:15
And these days -
ye ole local church doesn't appear to be very good ground!
But that on the good ground
are they, which in an honest and good heart,
having heard the word, keep
it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Luke 8:15
