    But If Not

    #Christianity #sermon #preacher #Baptist #Jesus #church Daniel 3:13-18 [13] Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king. [14] Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? [15] Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? [16] Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. [17] If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. [18] But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. It is one thing to stand strong knowing you will be delivered.  Who, though, has the courage to stand strong regardless of whether deliverance will come?

    Stand

    #Christianity #sermon #preacher #Baptist #Jesus #church Ephesians 6:10-17 [10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. [11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; [15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; [16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. [17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: In a world which seems to be against every belief in the Word of God, what do we do? Stand.

    Knowing Too Much

    Knowing Too Much  Matthew 27:39-42 [39] And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, [40] And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. [41] Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, [42] He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. Isaiah 55:7-9 [7] Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. [8] For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. [9] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Psalms 50:16-21 [16] But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? [17] Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. [18] When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. [19] Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. [20] Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. [21] These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. The men who stood at the foot of the cross were not unlearned and ignorant men.  They did not have too little knowledge to know the truth be saved.  Indeed, they knew too much. They knew too much about their own judgments, preferring them over the scriptures.  They were sure that Jesus was condemned of God, and would not hear otherwise. They knew too much religious knowledge without knowing the author of all knowledge.  They were able to make scriptures fit their ways instead of seeking to make their ways fit the scriptures. They knew too much of their own righteousness, being convinced that they themselves were morally above this man who they gladly had crucified and now openly mocked. You can know too much about the teachings of truth to recognize the truth himself when he is hanging on a cross in front of your eyes. How much do you know?  Do you know the truth, or do you know too much about yourself to know Him? Recorded Sunday Morning, February 11, 2018 at Oakdale Bible Baptist Church in Oakdale, Louisiana.

    The Attire Of An Harlot

    The Attire Of An Harlot Proverbs 7:6-10 [6] For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, [7] And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, [8] Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, [9] In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: [10] And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. What is the attire of an harlot? It is indefinable, yet undeniably recognizable. It is the outward presentation which shows the inward desires of a woman. As a false woman generally represents the false church in scripture, we see that the false church has also a indefinable yet recognizable appearance. A harlot's attire advertises the flesh. Flesh is after all where her power is. She shows more flesh by showing less clothing. The harlot church likewise shows more of the flesh by showing less of the covering of righteousness. A harlot's attire attracts attention to herself. So too does the harlot church attract attention to herself instead of Christ. Her actions are designed to catch the eye rather than the heart. A harlot's attire attracts adulterers. Spiritual adultery is 'cheating' on the bridegroom - Christ. Loving God and the world is spiritual adultery. A harlot gives a promise of an illicit relationship. So does a harlot church, promising that those who come into her can have this world and heaven, too. As with all harlots, they lie. A harlot's attire angers the almighty. We see this spiritually in Revelation 2:18-22 and naturally in Isaiah 3:16-24, God is not lightly displeased with the attire of an harlot. He hates it passionately. Recorded on Sunday evening, July 5, 2015 at Oakdale Bible Baptist Church in Oakdale, Louisiana Sermons, singing, and services from Bro.
