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, Rejoice.
We can and ought to follow Paul in the same manner - ALWAY!

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
