Liberty In Law – Law of Logic

      20050213 Liberty In Law - Law Of Logic - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

We rejoice in the #law of the #Lord.  Why should we rejoice in #limitations or #restrictions?  What does the world look like without #standards?  Is there anything more frustrating than seeing certain people not being held accountable to the same rules as everybody else?  Where is the logic of secular humanists and atheists trying to dismiss the ten commandments?  Who does the Bible say gave us the ten commandments;  Moses, an angel, or God Himself?  How pervasive through every culture are these laws and what does the Bible say about that?  How is the law holy, just, and good?  The Old Testament contains several kinds of law – moral, judicial, and ceremonial.  Some people say Jesus Christ did away with all of that, but did He?  Can we keep the law in its entirety?  Breaking the law leads to death before a perfect God.  Who can solve this problem?  How does salvation change our view of the law?

Liberty In Law – Law of License

Today, we start a new series of messages from Brother Tommy about the #law.  Some people believe that laws stand in the way of their #freedom and with man’s laws, they have some valid points.  But, God’s laws are perfect and designed for our good.  What are the two purposes of God’s law?  What is the mystery of iniquity or lawlessness?  What does the Bible say about the trajectory of lawlessness as we wait on the Lord’s return?  What mystery is revealed by joining the family of God?  How is evil allowed to exist?  Does the law bind us or does sin?  From where does all this current deception and destruction come?  Is there hope to overcome the lawlessness?  Who can make us light and salt in a dark and decaying world?  What will happen when the Restrainer is removed?

Christ Is The Answer – The Discipline of Dedication

      20001029 Christ Is The Answer - The Discipline Of Dedication - Rev. Tommy Jones

 

What should a #Christian do about personal #behavior that they have #questions about but is not explicitly denounced in the #Bible?  Are we willing to set certain activities aside for the glory of God and the good of others?  God offers us guidance, deliverance, assurance, and sustenance.  How are these provisions meant to offset the temptations we face?  What examples can we see in the wandering Israelites that parallel the struggles we face?  What is the danger of believing that we are in good standing?  1 Corinthians 10:13 is the ultimate verse to help us with temptation.

Mosaics Of The Master – Christ The Sunshine of Life – Delineated By A Saying – I Am The Light

Does your #life seem like a dark maze?  #Jesus Christ promised to light your #path.  Are we living in the last days?  Will this world get even darker?  The Bible says that men will call evil good and good evil.  Have we seen that lately?  But, as we mentioned last week the light penetrates and overcomes the dark.  Jesus did not claim to be a light, rather He said that He was the light.  How did this equate to Him staking His claim to be the Messiah?  Maybe you recognize that Christ is the light of the World.  Is that enough?  What does it mean to follow the light?  Like the moon reflects the Sun to light the night, we are to reflect the Son to light a dark world.

Care For One Another

The Lord gave me ample #opportunities today to #care for my literal #neighbor.  It was enough to make me worry about next week’s lesson about forgiving each other.  #Jesus told us what He expects from us in the parable of the good Samaritan.  Did you know that the Jewish traveler and the beaten and robbed Samaritan did not live in the same area or even associate with one another?  That makes this parable even more amazing.  Do you avoid people who have been beaten down or robbed of their money or their dignity?  How can we equip ourselves and teach others to protect and defend with the whole armor of God?  Is it enough to identify the need?  Should we require others to come to us?  Should we do this all by ourselves?  Is it important to follow up?

THE LIVING GOD #SPIRIT

This time of year, we hear about and see all manner of #evil #spirit aberrations in #movies, #TV, and yes-even on neighborhood doorsteps!  Today our society seems to embrace the spirit of evil with glee, but refute the HOLY SPIRIT.   The Bible clearly proclaims God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Do You?  These are just a few Bible verses I would like to share with you  Not as a TRICK, but a TREAT…. “The hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in SPIRIT and TRUTH; for the Father seeks such to worship Him.  GOD IS SPIRIT.” John 4:23  “We have not received the SPIRIT OF BONDAGE TO FEAR but received the SPIRIT of ADOPTION so we can call , Abba Father.   The SPIRIT bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” Rom.8:15,16  “GOD REVEALS to us by HIS SPIRIT, for the SPIRIT SEARCHES all things, yes the deep things of GOD.  We have not received the spirit of the world, but the SPIRIT which is of GOD; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of GOD.  So things which we speak are not words teaching  man’s wisdom, but the HOLY GHOST TEACHINGS comparing spiritual things with spiritual.” 1Corth.2:10-13  “Now the LORD IS THAT SPIRIT: and where the SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY.” 11Corth.3:17  “Rejoice.. pray…be thankful..QUENCH NOT THE SPIRIT...” 1Thess.5:16-19 ” Avoid even the appearance of evil. ”  On this Halloween, are you promoting the spirit of fear and evil or do you show the Spirit of the Lord in a loving, caring, giving demeanor?   Let God’s Spirit shine through the darkness.

The LIVING GOD #PLEADS

When my precocious five year old granddaughter, Rebecca, heard #Woe, Woe, Woe from her grandfather’s sermon, she wanted to hear that again.  That was many moons ago, so this is for you babe!  God’s Word straight from Isaiah speaks to us today as well as yesteryear.

THE LORD STANDS UP TO PLEAD AND TO JUDGE THE PEOPLE” Is.3:13  

WOE to them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”  Is.5:20

WOE to them that decree unrighteous decrees and write grievousness which they have prescribed”  Is.10:1

WOE unto them which declare innocent the wicked for bribes, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him:”  Is.5:23

WOE to the rebellious children, said the LORD, that take cousel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin.”  Is.30:1

“The wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.  There is no peace, said my GOD, to the wicked.”  Is.57:20,21

With each passing day, I see these words come alive with every newscast, but do not despair – God made a way for us, if we choose Him over our prideful ways.

“GOD is my SALVATION, I WILL TRUST, and NOT BE AFRAID; for the LORD JEHOVAH is MY STRENGTH and MY SONG;  He also is MY SALVATION.”  Is.12:2
