1 Corinthians ~ 4:1 to 4:21

welcome to the Shepherd's chapel Network family Bible study hour with Pastor Arnold Murray wisdom is understanding god's word pastor Murray's unique teaching approach brings God's Word alive with meaning as he takes you on a chapter by chapter verse by verse study of God's letter to you the Bible and now here is pastor Arnold Murray good day to you god bless you save welcome to the shepherd's chapel welcome to this family Bible study are back in our father's word chapter 4 first corinthians paul has been trying to express that we we only have one father and father has written one message it's the message of god consisting of many books but it's still the same message because of what book you read it from and then these different preachers would bring forth the word and people were beginning to take up with preachers rather than with christ the one god sent to deliver the message the word became flesh and walked among us and paul is trying to instill in them hate it all came from God were all ministers and God gives gifts to some it's all equal though because it all comes from God so having said that he continues that same message chapter 4 first corinthians verse 1 and it reads what that word of wisdom from our father let a man so account of us that's to say let everyone look at me Paul and Apollo's and Peter Cephas as of the ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God in other words God's sick secrets and truth that's what we're ministers of and we want you to respect the word not each of us just to count us as conveyors of it this is why here especially in the end times the famine is not for bread but it's for hearing the Word of God chapter by chapter and verse by verse you have very few ministries that will really teach the Word of God whereby it flows as God gave it to us whether they like to pick at it and and that does not let the Holy Spirit flow into the deeper truths that is to say this mystery of God of all three earth ages why we're here and so forth he's already told them in Chapter three you can't afford the mystery or the meat I have to still feed you milk verse two moreover it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful that he's trustworthy you can count on what he says he's not going to tell you one thing and then change it if he states that you you can depend on it and if you're a true minister that's exactly what you do you do your homework until you know beyond a doubt that what you're teaching can be trusted why trusted because it's the Word of God the truth of God and truth changes lives you know you never want to put your own thoughts in God's truth because you're you could you could wreck a soul you could really hurt somebody well how do you know that because God knows the deeper mysteries and the truth is it should be given that's why you should teach it verse by verse verse three but with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you or of man's judgment gain I judge not mine own self in other words you should never judge anyone that's a that's a big sin but but be set for it anytime you set out to teach God's Word and you do it properly and and you teach it as God would have you teach it you're going to have people that will judge you what will they judge you but do you disregard anything but God the judge number one if God gives you a truth and it's from his word it doesn't matter what man might say it's what God says and what God thinks that is important you don't worry a whole lot about what men would think they could judge you see man cannot tell what you're thinking and you cannot tell what another man is thinking God knows your thoughts that's what qualifies him to judge you can't con him you can't put anything over on him his judgment is sure and accurate whereas man just guesses in the dark Paul was saying hey how could you how could you judge me I can't even judge myself necessarily so that would kind of put it at odds wouldn't it Paul knew he was judged because God struck him down on the road to Damascus that day got his attention big-time verse 4 for I know nothing by myself yet am I not here by justified but he that judges me is the Lord by myself I could say nothing I probably would know nothing why by itself he was a destroyer of the church but by God's hand he was struck down converted instilled the holy spirit within him whereby he taught God's Word and wrote most a lot of the New Testament at God's hand of course but God would use this one verse 5 therefore judge nothing or are you criticized nothing before the time until the Lord come who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness that mystery and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts that's the very mind and then shall every man have praise of God why because God is always fair what this is the reason God can judge he can judge fairly because again he knows what you're thinking he knows what you deserve and I guarantee you you're always going to get everything you got coming to you the good the bad the ugly if you have good coming to you you're gonna have good if you got ugly coming to you hey you're to get it you can count on it and if you haven't repented of it get ready it's gonna happen why because God knows your very thoughts that's why he is judge that's why he created us as as he did and you know this is why it makes our father so happy when you submit to him when you understand that and you humbly come before him and let him use you to what to further the word to further the truth that is to help somebody that needs help that is is in ignorance concerning the deeper mysteries of God's Word in the milk skimming along most of them wouldn't even know there was a first age before this even though science declares that over and over and over they don't take the time to check it out in the manuscripts and realize God declared it himself long ago that there was an earth age before this when dinosaurs roamed the hills the mammoths were Rome that palm trees grew in New Mexico we found them petrified they're in documentaries reason for it because then came the destruction of that first earth age and and then God brought in this one to find out whether you're going to love God or Satan at your choice that's why he's the judge verse six and these things brethren I have in figure transferred to myself and to Apollo's for your sakes that you might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written that no one of you be puffed up for one against one against another that you you realize that we're all equal you can't puff yourself up say well I be a Paul Paul's a deeper teacher no it doesn't matter it's all the same word you can't puff yourself up and play favorites it's their one ministry it's the Ministry of God and God gives to his ministers what they can handle and in doing so it's all equal why because it all comes from God it is from our Heavenly Father you you don't play favorites and and you let them all become in one word and that is the Word of God verse 7 for who maketh thee to differ from another question and what has thou that thou did us not receive what have you got that God didn't give you in the first place what are you what are you puffed up and bragging about it for God gave it to you now if thou didst receive it why does thou glory as if thou had us not received it why do you make out like you had a dream in the night and it all came to you and God didn't give it to you you know there are some people that would do that they yes that's my teaching no it's God's teaching this is a very serious thing as far as our Father is concerned if you want his blessings is to know that all truth flows from him and the love that he brings forth in that word that it's all equal whom God you might say well it seems a little unfair not whom God gives much he expects much whom God gives a little he expects a little and calls it even khalsa equally blessed both are going to get blessed exactly the same because God gave it all for a purpose for a reason for the destiny of God's children over all to be taught that truth equally verse 8 now ye are full let's just say your little churches down here that you've set up their full he doesn't say full of what ok now you're rich or do you think you are you have reigned as kings without us and I would to God you did reign that we also might reign with you know you can be sure that if we were there we'd rain with you all right rain something down on their head in other words some people have to think this is my little church and I'm yet and this is it and then they cut got out they put a crown on themselves and reign as a king this is the Word of God by so-and-so this is Joe blows ministry oh I didn't know Joe you know I've read a lot of Scripture but I've never read that Joe Blow had a ministry I know our Father does and as well if all follow it men better keep his name away from a ministry where it's God's ministry and he treats all equally don't play Church first name for I think that God has set forth us the Apostles last as it were appointed to death for we are made a spectacle unto the world that's the way they will treat us and to angels and to men in other words they stare at us when we bring forth the truth but who cares you know a lot of people when you say there was a first earth age even that alone will cause Snickers how ignorant can you be many people are and not realizing there was a first first earth age why are you why you can't there's no way that you could understand why people are on earth today in the flesh if you didn't understand what happened back in the first Earth Age and it's written right here in the scripture that's the mystery part of it and yet it's so simple a child can understand it I know that upset son but so help me God it's the truth when God in enlightens and when God opens your eyes your spiritual eyes and ears to hear the truth it doesn't matter what the world thinks it's what God's Word says because death is the way it's going down first 10 we are fools for Christ's sake Christianity is a smirk they make light of but we are wise in Christ wisdom comes from him we are weak in the flesh we are but ye are but ye are strong you are honorable but we are despised many times you you think when you stay clear of it but when we declare the truth they will look at us as weak they're not why they have the power of God they're not weak at all don't ever don't ever let that little thought in or your mind for they as human flesh or weak but God protects them God looks over them God strengthens them and and so it is the enemy and much of this said in irony by Paul he's kind of ribbing them a little bit okay verse 11 even unto this present hour we both hunger and thirst and are naked naked is a wrong translation it means we're not dressed up as fancy as you all are while we're traveling we don't we don't have a wardrobe rat with us the way you all do and are buffeted but they think it's a ruffle trip out there on those highways byways and have no certain dwelling place we don't have a home put our little old heads down every night to keep our hair comb properly it's even at that present hour when God's Word was reigning supreme his disciples had a kind of a ruffle cut at it and I wonder how many Christians there would be today if you still had to go through this to bring forth the Word of God verse 12 and labor working with our own hands Paul was a tent maker that's the way he cut it being reviled that's to say well they curse at us we bless we bless them back in turn be persecuted we suffer it patients patiently we suffer the very slender and persecution that they bring upon us when the power of God is with them you know how humble Paul was to have God's hand upon him struck down chosen especially promised by God that he was a chosen vessel and yet at the same time he brought forth the ministry in this way you know it was dangerous out on those byways but they could cut it why God was with them verse 13 being defamed doesn't mean slandered I mean their name drug in the mud we entreat we are made as the filth of the world and our the off scourging you know what that is that's the garbage we're the garbage of all things unto this day in the saying this is the way the eyes of the world are that's the way they judge how wrong they can be true knowledge is a beautiful thing and the truth will always set you free in knowing God's Word and his leadership and what he has in store for us in that third earth age which is the eternity and guess guess what's going to happen in that eternity this is off scourging and and this defaming and cursing they're not gonna be there they're gonna be gone those that do not convert and you know it is wonderful that you can have honor in your heart that even though somewhat buddy may badmouth you and even though somebody might think they're taking advantage of you with deep in your heart you know if it's possible you want to see their soul saved because they're children of God and that's why God blesses you is your patient and long-suffering and you strive to teach that truth in hopes that they will convert they will come to the truth they will repent and be followers of God and and so it is now listen carefully verse 14 I write not these things to shame you but as my beloved Sons I warn you I want you to be on guard I want you to expect it well you know dear brother I always thought if he was a minister everybody glad handed you and everything was just precious and the beloved Brotherhood just carried you right on Oh house how wrong you could be out in the world because they you are laughed at you are made light of and atheists have a big joke with you and that's fine it's to their own damnation but what are you saying here is I want to warn you I want you to be set in advance what is he saying I don't want you to be some hothouse Lily that's going to march out there in the first opposition you're gone okay I want to toughen you up a little bit I want you to I want you to know how it is to be a strong Christian what it all amounts to you can cut it you're a can-do type person a little wrinkled in the feathers will not bother you one iota you can look them straight in the eye and know that God is with you you have the victory and you're marching forward and that's the way it should be so he said I'm warning you it's not a pretty picture all the way but it's pretty and when you know in your heart God is with us 15 for though we have ten thousand instructors in Christ yet have you not many fathers for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel you may have a people there that want to tell you what Christ means to you no I want you to think this through because a lot of people would they would quit before they absolutely thought it all the way through he said you've got all kinds of instructors out there but who converted to church to start with that is the father spiritually now there you have the clue don't don't jump to conclusions here until you think it through because Paul brought the word but whose word was it let's think it through of course it was God's Word so we have one father all right and he's in heaven he's watching over us and he uses Paul in that way and it doesn't matter how many instructors you have there's only one father that's the Living God don't you ever forget it he sent one with just to save the son Jesus Christ well what does that mean again now y'all have a savior the Anointed One that's the door you got to go through that door or you're not going so sometimes it takes a little bit of thought to get down to oneness or you're right as you see Paul's leaving that so you could make a big you could make Paul a big number there but that's not what Paul wants you to draw from it okay it's only one God that's the point he's our Father 16 we're for I beseech you be ye followers of me you imitate what I do and I am sold out to that one I'm sold out to God because he sent that son to me on the road to Damascus not me down converted me and I am sold out I could never do anything other than serve the Living God and he is the father of all father of all wife in Ezekiel chapter 18 verse 4 all souls belong to me God says why because he created them there his to do with as he chooses verse 17 for this cause have I sent unto you timotheus or Timothy who is my beloved son spiritually speaking and faithful in the Lord I mean you can count on what he says who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ as I teach everywhere in every church I don't change that message I don't change one message here or some way and go over here and teach another way you know that this is the way you watch out for ministers and he's teaching here and don't you overlook it some some we have a saying in the south he's anybody's dog little huh with him okay which means whatever crowd he's in he's going to he's going to tickle their fancy with words he's going to say what they wanting to say doesn't matter what God's Word says he knows the crowd he knows what they want to hear and he's going to sugarcoat their little fancies and he's worthless Paul is that hey I don't care where I am I don't care who I'm talking to they all get the same message and it is a message of God we have one God thousands of instructors one truth one God and follow him follow me because I follow him there's no other way out and so it is what a what a teacher this Paul was how humble you know what would happen with a lot of people if they had a following like Paul did they would start them a church they wouldn't travel around that being roughed up everywhere they would go they would have thousands would attend and just put him on a pedestal and I mean he could have had talked about being a king and reigning right there as he said they're trying to do there he could have done it but no he was a tentmaker he still made tents he didn't live off these people he made tents wherever he went that's that's Aquila and Priscilla were both tent makers that's one I guess the reason they've kind of buddied up and then but mainly because God had them too and God used them and especially Priscilla for how he used her but he did not see fit to make anything out of himself other than to teach God's Word and do you know something that's why God gives you the word when you'll teach it instead of yourself when you will teach that word that he gives you or by people spiritual eyes can see their spiritual ears can hear the simplicity in which God Himself our Father one God brings us the message and the Savior whereby you have that saving grace and God overlooks how how precious he it is that he loves his children no Paul didn't teach a different message everywhere he went just one it's the word of God and do you know something even to this day because of Paul's honesty and straightforwardness in writing these letters to the Corinth and to Thessalonica and to the colossi and to many other places those letters are still taught and do you know something he's telling the truth they all say the same message this is the message of God not different sprinkled here for one group of different from another group God's word straight on straight forward something that is palatable can be heard by all people verse 18 to continue now some are puffed up as though I would not come to you so some of you just keep on doing what he's not coming we can do whatever we want to we'll just we'll just start our own little thing here but that means you are proud and bragging and yourself ok self-righteous we can get her done they're not listening in other words verse 19 but I will come to you shortly if the Lord will now I want you to note that if the Lord will and will know not the speech of them which are puffed up but the power and what power is that the Word of God that's what it amounts to what that the very power of God you know always pray Paul made a statement I'm coming to you shortly if God will if the Lord wills always pray God's will okay you don't want anything if God doesn't want it you and that should be one of the first lines in your prayer requests always father if it's your will why because he knows what's best for you and he wants what's best for you you could ask for some dumb thing that could get you in more trouble than you can get out of and if you do he's not going to give it to you if you're in good standing with him therefore always ask his will that's what Paul does here if it's God's will I'm gonna be there and I'm gonna be there shortly and it won't be not the speech of them that are puffed up that are a bunch of braggers but the power of the Holy Spirit the power of the Holy Spirit heals guides directs changes thoughts sometimes you can't change thoughts but if it has to do with your destiny in God's will God can take their little old minds and he can tweak them just like that and change minds and hearts to get his word done okay and that's why Paul was saying those puffed up was don't bother me one iota verse 24 the kingdom of God is not in word but in power you need to grab ahold of that real well the kingdom what does that mean exactly it's the king in his Dominion and it's everywhere he is our King and and it is not just the word but it's the power that goes with it and and when you execute that power claimant demand it stand for it then that power is with you you see Christ gave you power over all of your enemies in the Satanic force you don't have to worry about it why would you get uptight about it you're protected through the Holy Spirit you won't you won't know where the proof of that is it's you will find it in the great book of Luke chapter 10 beginning with verse 19 I give you power over all your enemies including Satan the serpent scorpions all the things of the book of Revelation that bring in the hard times for God's elect you got power over them so what are you sweating you don't have to sweat anything why the king and his Dominion is not only word but his word is power verse 21 to complete the chapter what will you question shall I come into you with a rod or in love and in the spirit of meekness it's up to you you're gonna get what you got coming to you if you continue being puffed up rest assured Paul will be there with the rod you must realize that you know in the little bleeding heart Christians today say Oh gracious God forgive Jesus wouldn't do that oh well it's his order don't you know what love is he will come in love anyway because tough love is its bearing a rod otherwise who would care who cares about the puffed up ones push him off in the ditch get rid of him you don't want him anyway well a true Christian does if we can convert them so you got to put the rod to them a little bit every once in a while and and righteous indignation comes forth and there is a bit of correction correction therefore a puffed up one bring him right on down to God's level which is power in the Holy Spirit you know it would frighten me to live in this generation with this in this world with the things events that are transpiring if I did not know that the power of God through the Holy Spirit was with us it would be a frightening thing but with his power were comfortable were at ease we have the victory you know who you can thank for that your father there's just one don't know you got a thousand instructors maybe but you got one father his word and his power listen to it let him know you love him it pays great dividends all right bless your hearts listen a moment won't you

all over Canada the spirit moves you got a question you share it once you do that please never ask a question about a particular Reverend or denomination we don't judge people as they as today's lecture goes God is the judge we judge no man but God certainly does you do have the right for spiritual discernment and not who to listen to though listen to your father those of you that listen by shortwave around the world it's always a pleasure of hearing from you and your announcer at the end of the hour we'll give you our mailing address it's always a pleasure hearing from you now you've

returned if you want part of that power you must love him and let him know that makes his day you could read in the last verse of Revelation chapter 4 he created all things for his pleasure that means you you either give him pleasure or you probably not gonna receive any blessings ok it's that simple let him know you love him that pleasures him father around the globe we come we ask that you need guy direct father touch in Yeshua's precious name thank you Father amen okay question time we're gonna go with Marie from Texas if I can't understand the book of Revelation what other book in the Bible can I read that is like revelation no no I don't want you to go there I want if if you if if you've had my tapes on Revelation I don't think you probably have study it with me you can order the book of Revelation or it'll be taught it would be a while before it's taught on television but it will be again but until then it's better that you order the tapes or CDs and let me lead you through Revelation because it means to reveal God wants you to know what it says that's important and it's simple but sometimes you need a teacher and to take you through it that word so III don't want you to go somewhere else because if you can't understand the revealing you have a problem but I know you can and with my help I know certainly that you can and I highly recommend that you do that you could do I could tell you that the Book of Daniel is simply an overlay of the book of Revelation but if you didn't understand revelation you sure wouldn't understand Daniel so you need a little bit of help there and that'll get it for you Robert from Illinois you said Satan will be released this year 2012 can you please explain this more I did not say that the only thing you could have heard me say is that we're in the generation of the fig tree and Satan will be released during that generation but the year certainly was not mentioned I know a lot of people are getting nervous about December of 2012 because the Mayan calendar ends there but it's just the end of a segment okay supposed to start over then again but it will be interesting to see what happens there in an interesting time but I did not say Satan would come this year he will come to this generation because we're in the generation of the big tree Stacy from North Carolina okay when teaching the Book of Jeremiah you mentioned that there are picture grams pictograms okay isn't in the Bible I don't I didn't catch the verses or meaning so can you please where they are located in the Bible and please explain how to do our homework on searching and edifying the pictograms it's it's not picture grams it's pictogram okay and what are pictograms okay it is the particular one you're talking about is Jeremiah chapter 25 verse 26 a pictogram and it's done two times it's done again and if I remember right in the 51st chapter and it is the word translated Shishak she Shack know what makes it a pictogram is they take the last letter in the Hebrew alphabet and make it the first and make the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet the last and so on and so forth until it it makes could we say a crossword puzzle okay in other words there's a hidden message within it what what it ends up actually being is bbl which is what Babylon is babel or confusion and that's what the pictogram is well why would God do that he wants your attention he wants you to understand there are a little deeper truths so he makes it a pictogram and there are two of them there's more than that but to using Shishak that's how you will find it if you have a companion Bible it explains that for you in the column the side column you see some English people are not great scholars in an Aramaic or Hebrew or Greek but the person who put together the companion Bible was a fantastic scholar in both Aramaic and Hebrew and in Greek he was so good at translating that he is the only Christian that ginsberg allowed to proofread the Messiah that's saying a lot that may not mean a lot to some people but that's a that's a bun that's tall cotton okay and certainly that that edifies and God leads God directs and how good it is but a companion Bible would help you on that okay Peter from North Carolina pastor Murray thank you and your son's and staff you welcome if the elect are going to blow Satan's cover as Christ why would he even bother with them if I were him I would run from the elect and ignore them does he have to deal with the electors not you you underestimate Satan how much of the world do you think Satan has following him practically all of it do you think I mean he's supernatural he thinks but he's good enough he can have the even the elect eating right out of his hand you see you're under estimating him he's gonna go for you to win your heart buddy so you you want to be said for that all right that's what he thinks he's that good and why wouldn't he most of the world after him they think he's a great guy and laugh at Christians okay we got Noreen from Louisiana my question is this I am aware not to wish good tidings and so forth to those who follow false teachings but what about my wishing my boss a nice day off when he comes does not have to work you know you have to use God places convictions on people that means he let you know when he doesn't want you to do it it seems to me like your boss is pushing religion at work don't you that's a mistake that's where you make your livelihood that's where you make your income so you can teach God's Word somewhere else and plant seeds and everything don't do it at work but what I'm telling you don't fall into his okay he's a little bit on the ignorant side so you could you could you're big enough that you can you can live with that and you can figure it out okay but sometimes you have to you have to make your own decision and so it is but you're doing good I'm proud of you Scott from Wisconsin you're welcome thank you for I have I have Stage four living a colon cancer I don't know how much time I have left but could you answer these questions on the air thank you how do I properly repent all you got to do is tell him father I repent of this sort erased from the book of life and have a change of heart you know I know you have a change of heart or you wouldn't be wanting to repent all you got to do is let him know father I'm sorry I did it and I if I cannot tolerate chemo anymore is that okay with God I cannot take being sick or suffering anymore well hey Scott you know what it's your ship you're the one say learner but do you know like in today's lecture I said always pray for God's will if God still has a purpose here for you even if if you stop the chemo if it's making you that sick where you're not having any quality of life then if God still has a purpose for you he'll fix it without it now I'm not saying he would do that but I'm saying that's what happens when you pray with God's will but Oh partner what I'm telling you is your body is your ship you're the captain of it don't you let somebody else tell you within what you really want to do you talk it over with the father and you go for it use you sell your own ship don't you put her on the rock but you you sail her proudly and bring her forth with God's will okay rich from New York I'm very very upset about my wife leaving me with my best friend she left without any word to me just up and left me I struggle immensely daily with not being able to forgive either one of them I want to but I haven't been able to i've been over six months now what should i do well hey why are you worried about them they're not fit for you you you don't let them bother you you deserve better okay you you deserve better than those two why would you let them upset your life and and and everything when they're not fit to worry about okay trash is trash if that be the case so I'm just helping you to get your head screwed on right so that you go on that God has something much more important for you and you go for it okay sorry this happened but it happens in life and and if somebody's not good enough for you sometimes God takes them out of your life be that as it may that's one way to look at it Barbara from North Carolina my question is about children who died before the age of accountability I am in a Bible study group and they believe that children are innocent and are thus saved because of their innocence II of our age don't we all have to account to the Father for our salvation and decide to love and follow him I think this decision is made during the Millennium please give me scripture to document and Duke children under age of accountability have an angel but have you haven't you ever read Matthew 19 verse 14 and 15 what did it say if they were kind of tell Jesus they thought well he's tired get those kids out of here kid get him get him back get the children back he's if you stop don't you ever suffer the little children to come to me that means you bring them forth don't you dare try to drive them away from me he brought those little children forth and what did he do this is important in a sure it's the fifteenth verse that he laid hands on on if Jesus lays hands on children or anyone else aid their own breathe friend so I hope that helps you god is so fair that innocent is innocent that means exactly that they there are there are some people you see maybe what you're forgetting is there are some people that are just too good for this earth age and sometimes young people are taken home I believe for that very reason God loves them but it isn't because they didn't earn it they'd have to wait till the Millennium they earned it in the first Earth Age okay I will stop there patty from Florida my question is simply I supposed but I was wondering if the beautiful bouquet of floral arrangement that you have behind you if they are fresh flowers the reason I am asking is because I have been told that it's biblical to biblical order to have fresh flowers to offer up to God when we come before him or or the church settings well when you look like I do you got to have things on the set that kind of help out okay they are real they are fresh and they're beautiful and they they maybe even make me look good and I know God is pleased with them thanks for asking but they are their real flowers and God just beautiful we think our Father for all of his nature Anette from Ohio Arnett from Ohio I was brought up in a Christian home I was baptized when I was fifteen I think of myself as a backslider what must I do I've always believed repent that's all you have to do is you can't be saved again once you're saved that's it Christ does the safing he doesn't fail you can drift so far away from the salvation backslide and you can go to hell but don't ask God to die on the cross again as it states in Hebrew six to save you he's already done his part now you have to do yours repent and let him know he forgive you that he will forgive you and let him know you love him my ex wife passed and was cremated it was her choice that's fine no problem that's this this she's already with the father and and the body's back to dust Rachel from Oklahoma can you tell me when a child becomes old enough to be held accountable for the their choices no one can ever give me a definite answer you have blessed us by teaching me and I am sharing with my children well thank you well when a child becomes accountable that means when they know that Christ died on the cross for our sins and when they make a commitment to him and and with full knowledge if you ever see baptisms by the chapel if you see a real young child being baptized you will note whichever pastor is baptizing that child will usually talk to them a second you won't be able to hear it most likely but it's to determine if the child is accountable and I would never you know many people would say well we just don't if they're not 12 years old we're not going to baptize them well now how would you feel if a six-year-old that love the Lord and bless your hearts we've got a lot of five and six years old and even younger that study with us in the simplicity that Christ teaches that are very accountable they know more about the word than a lot of adults because of proper teaching but how would you feel if you were a pastor and a six-year-old that felt accountable asked to be baptized and you refused and on the road home there was an accident and they were killed how would how would you handle that I mean really before God how would you answer so it's best not to judge people and it is best to know that accountability is I know some six-year-olds that know a lot more Bible than somebody sixty some people sixty years old be that as it may Loreley from Pennsylvania we do not know if there are or will be more intruders and intruder enters our home well well not leave when asked are told I want to back up a situation occurred that could happen in my world so I would like to know what correctly to do my trigger enters the home and will not leave one told we do not know if there are or will be more intruders we do not know if they are armed or could use something in the room to harm us we didn't know that persons and others can overpower us we wonder if after if after seeing they will leave people who can ID them alive in the room there is more than one person that can kill if killing should be take place question we wonder if a window of opportunity opens do we or can we kill them considering the above and if this happens in a place in the community do rules apply morally as home or yeah it's have you ever read first Timothy chapter five verse 8 a person that won't protect your own families worse than an infidel Loreley don't ever you know always OBO obey your civil laws ok because there are some places you're not allowed to have a weapon but there are more equalizers than a gun there's crossbows there's thing don't don't don't let somebody enter your home and bother your children you did not invite them in they are worthless or they would not be there and always make certain that you know who it that you know it's not a relative or somebody like that usually I have a way that if you hear somebody breaking into your home or coming into your home at night a flash of light always startles a person I don't care who they are so you take your weapon if it's legal in your state and most states now have a permit to carry concealed or at least them any most any state has the right to protect your own home armed citizens or as it should be and go to a light switch and when that door is broken through flip that light on it will startle them they will probably throw their hands up and if they are already in your house and it's obvious they have weapons in hand or something and it's not old uncle Peck or somebody else's drunkard and three sheets in the wind you know all confused then that's it protect your family yes you have every right to do that okay don't let someone abuse your family get rid of them okay you know crime really goes down in states like Arkansas where many of us have permits to carry okay I mean criminals when we're armed and can take care of business they don't want anything to do with us and that's good judgment on their part Gloria from Wisconsin okay when we pass from this earth and go to paradise do we communicate with others who are all also waiting judgment sure you know your family that's already passed on and so forth and communication communicate communicate God is not the god of the dead but the living and they are very much alive even though the flesh has turned back to dust that person is very much alive with the father in paradise or on the opposite side of paradise and they're communicating to probably crying a lot in in their coffin will they don't have a coffin in Paradise okay they're they can't afford one they're just there we know they don't have any clothing on necessarily because they don't have any righteous acts okay but anyway they're there and that's it and I'm going to have to get to this one and in the next broadcast hey I love you all because you enjoy studying God's Word most of all god loves you for it hey it's the letter he's written to you and when you read it and study it excuse me and take it to
