And the Lord Jesus Christ, by what we have spoken and written, keep your hearts straight on course that you understand the love of God and just steadfastly, faithfully hang in there until Christ returns."

Divisions of Acts - Summary Statements

Acts 2:1-4 KJV

Hebrews 10:12-14 KJV

12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

And the full matruity of a believer is a continued process of development to the inclusiveness to the end that our speech and our action is nothing but the word.

And if it's truth, it'll live. If it's an error, the quicker it dies, the better. We do not need to defend.

That's why the greatest thing we can do is build a dynamic offense. And that's what we're beginning to do all through the ministry, from the time you first took the foundational class, all the way through, is to just build a dynamic reality of God's word in your life to the end that you can just hold it forth. You don't have to fight about it. You don't have to fight about error. You never need to fight about truth. That's for sure.

Philippians 1:1-6 KJV

Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,

For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Judges: I'll put them for you in a nutshell, in my own words. You see, there was a war between Ammonites and Israelites at one time. The leader under the Israelites was a man called Jephthah.  He went to the battle against the Ammonites, he made a vow to God. Lord, if you give me victory over the Ammonites, when I come back from the  victorious, anything that comes to meet me, I'll  give that. Whatsoever comes to meet me, I'll give that unto you as a burnt sacrifice.

That I'll is s a vow. All right, God granted the victory to this man. When he was coming back home, his only daughter, this man had only daughter, no son, no other daughter, she came with rejoicing to meet her victorious dad.

And she brought instruments of music to meet him on the road. And when he saw her, he rent his clothes, he said. By the way, you put down there, he rent his mantle, not clothes. Wherever you read, rent the clothes, you put down mantle, mantle. Nobody rents clothes.

They rent a mantle, you see. He rent his mantle. Why, why? Renting a mantle is an outward sign of inward anger or sorrow. In this case, not anger, but sorrow.

Because he made a vow to God that anybody who comes  to meet him, that he will give as a burnt sacrifice. He had got only one daughter. And she came to meet him.

And when he saw her, he was troubled, he was sorry that since she came, he must give her to God as a burnt sacrifice. So, he rent his  clothes, he rent his mantle to demonstrate the sorrow of his heart. And the girl knew what he meant.

You see, he said, Alas, my daughter, I opened my mouth unto the Lord, I cannot go back. She understood what he meant. He didn't explain to her.

"Now" for the following reason we must continually thank God:

1. God loves us.

2. God chose you to salvation.

3. God saved you.

4. God sanctified you.

5. God glorified you.
