Immoral Worldliness:? Drinking

By Jesse Jenkins

Benchley, October 26, 2008

  • What the Bible says:
  • What about?
    • John 2:1-10?- Jesus turns water to wine.
      • This was grape juice.? Jesus would not aid and abet drunkenness.
    • Romans 14:21?- indifference towards drinking.
      • In the context, this is not intoxicating wine.
    • I Timothy 5:23?- wine for medicinal purposes
  • The strong drinks condemned in the Bible were weak compared to today’s standard.
  • When is a person drunk?
    • After one drink, one is not 100% sober.
  • Is social drinking that bad?
    • According to coroner reports, moderate drinkers are more dangerous than chronic drinkers.
    • About one out of nine social drinkers become alcoholics.
    • Brain cells are destroyed with each drink.
    • What influence are you having on others?
  • Drinking stimulates accidents.
  • Is alcoholism a disease?

Immoral Worldliness:? Immodest Dress

By Jesse Jenkins

Benchley, October 12, 2008

  • I Timothy 2:9-10
  • Modest:? well arranged, orderly, seemly, discreet.? – Thayer, Vine, Bullinger
  • Shamefacedness:? A sens4e of shame, modest, etc.
  • Sobriety:? “Sound judgment expresses the meaning; it is that habitual inner self-government, with its constant reign on all the passions and desires, which would hinder the temptation to these from arising.”
  • Even people of the world recognize the consequences of wearing scant attire in public.
  • How short is short?
  • Would you appear in public naked?
  • There are no double standards with God.
    • When the Bible speaks of lust, it addresses man.
    • When the Bible speaks of modest clothing, it addresses women.
    • It is wrong for women to lust.
    • It is wrong for men to appear in public scantily attired.

Local Church Membership

By Jesse Jenkins

Benchley, September 28, 2008

  • The Lord adds one to the church in a universal sense when one is baptized, but that does not automatically make one a member of any particular local church.
  • What is the local church?
    • It is a special fellowship in which one agrees to worship and work with other Christians in a locality.
    • The local church is under a common oversight.
    • The members give into a common fund to finance the work the Lord authorized the local church to do.
  • By what procedure does one become part of a local church?
    • There are three things involved:
      • Must be a Christian
      • Must agree to work and worship with the local church.
      • Local church agrees to accept.
  • What is the purpose of local church membership?
  • Who is really in the local fellowship?
    • Those who have joined.? Acts 9:26
    • Those who have partnership in the work assigned by Christ.? Acts 9:28
    • Not one who ceases to work in the local fellowship and will not repent.? II Thessalonians 3:6
  • A local church is to control its fellowship.
    • Discipline one who is living so as to bring reproach upon the Name of Christ.? I Corinthians 5:5
    • Refuse to receive one who is living so as to bring reproach upon Christ.? Acts 9:26
  • The Bible knows nothing of “free lance” members.
    • Must join a local fellowship.? Acts 9:26
    • Must work with a local fellowship.? Acts 9:28
    • Each needs fellowship with other Christians for edification of himself and others.? Hebrews 10:24-25
    • Each needs to be under oversight of elders.? Hebrews 13:17
  • Are students to still be members back home or are they to be members where they attend?
    • Students should be members where they attend.
    • For nine months of school, students should be members where they attend.
    • For three months out of school, students should be members where they attend.
