“In every action we take, we are doing one of two things, helping create a hell on earth or helping bring down a foretaste of heaven… We are either advancing the rule of Satan or establishing the reign of God” Chuck Colson
Intro:
Last week I gave you three scriptures
Today I give you 1 more
There is no other I AM - There is no other Way - There is no other way of life - that leads to an eternal peace and an amazing future.
- AMEN
Do you believe this?
Our topic is How shall we then live?
Are we on a quest for a million dollars?
For a house and 2 cars
The perfect husband or wife
That illustrious career
Or is it just surviving between paychecks
Or handling stress on day at a time
How do we live in this messed up world?
We ask this question to ourselves all the time.
The challenge is taking the right answer and living it.
AMEN
Last week we spoke about Adam and his family - How many of you learned a lot from that sermon.
If you were not here you can hear the audio on the website and the video on facebook .
We learned that the first counseling session between cain and God ended up like this
You have to Master Sin - Recognize it and realize it wants to kill you - It is patient like a lion and as deadly as an adder
Live a life of repentance - Not just a one time act when you gave your life to Jesus - AMEN
This was all in the first few chapters of Genesis.
Today I want to talk to about two people who saw the big picture (worldview)
NOAH
Lets look at the background first
Are we getting closer to this point again?
- YES
Some might argue with this - but most don't acknowledge wickedness anymore.
Wickedness has become the cultural norm.
Wickedness is a cancer and it is aggressive and progressive.
It grows and poisons the whole body
Also evil is not acknowledged it is glamorized.
We went to see a movie with my grandson a a few weeks back and the 4 or 5 previews of the upcoming movies, everyone of them were evil to the core.
What is evil is now called suspenseful.
With the realism and the graphics today - It is like you are there .
And with AR ( Augmented Reality) peoples minds are captured in an unreal environment.
To the point that kids can now kill other kids in schools just like a video game.
Now lets legalize drugs, and incorporate that into the mix and see what happens.
The solution is not a better gun lock or a reduced magazine load.
It is getting back to reality, and teaching people
How Shall they Then Live.
OK back to Genesis
Noah was righteous - just, and innocent in Gods eyes
Noah walked with God - How Enoch walked with God so did Noah - He walked in close fellowship with God
Just like with Adam - it is always a faith with works.
Or in another way of saying it - It is a faith that works
Just walking with God is not good enough
An awesome spirit filled Sunday service isn’t good enough
Getting goose bumps on top of goose bumps isn’t good enough
Running to the next high spiritually isn’t good enough.
Going to nine straight Bethel services isn’t good enough.
Going on the mission field isn’t good enough.
It id getting up everyday and asking
Lord how shall I then live?
How do I live today?
May I say the presence of God is not enough - It didn’t wok for Adam and Eve or Cain.
It is the push today.
Adam walked with God in the cool of the morning, The disciples walked with God for three years.
It required more.
It is Presence and Practice.
That is why organizations like YWAM do so well.
May I say with the presence comes choice.
What is your choice.?
Back to Noah
Now Noah has a job.
What is it?
- Build boat - that’s it.
Are you seeing a little bit of a trend here?
Just do the one thing God has asked you to do.
God tells Noah build an ark ( What is an ark?
A really Really big boat)
It is going to take him 50-75 years to build it.
For all you lumber people think of it.
The first timber will be 75 years old before the last timber is put in place.
How does that effect integrity?
What would you think if God pulled you aside and said build a boat on a plain here in Redding?
Shasta Lake is at 30%
It is as dry as a bone
We are rationing water.
You would be saying - God are you sure you got this one right?
Lets look at the key in 6:22
Noah Did This - not only this but all God asked him to do
When you commit - You commit
Noah’s actions are a model for us of obedience and faith.
As is the case for many of the saints, God is calling upon Noah to accomplish a task that has no precedent, for an experience that had no counterpart.
Noah accomplishes the task - and now it is just him, his wife and his kids and their wives.
Now Noah has a new Job- Live a blessed life and fill the earth.
Why, because god loves Godly offspring.
We then get this really cool rainbow as a sign of Gods covenant for Noah and all future generations.
But like Adam we have some rules:
Adam don’t eat... - Noah don’t eat...
Within a short period of time Noah forgot how to live righteously , he got smashed and passed out in his tent naked.
His son Ham did not treat his father with dignity and respect but went out and told his brothers about his dad.
HisNoahs other sons new better and covered there father up by walking backward into the tent and covering their father up.
So when you read this
you can answer the question
How shall we then live
Righteously
