<div class="SSN_title">"SETTING YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Ahithophel one of David's counselors, so wise and sharp like consulting oracle of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. SET HIS HOUSEHOLD IN ORDER AND HANGED HIMSELF.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. A man can be so wise in some fields yet a fool in others.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Men devoted themselves to understanding the secrets of the Universe.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Some have built telescopes, launched rockets, studied vast immensity of space.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Others developed microscope, examined mystery of cell.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Others still delved where neither telescope or microscope could go; devised theory of atomic structure and proved theory.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Each man when pursuing his field, comes to that place when he seeks the ultimate answer to the secrets either bows his head and worships God or avows ignorance.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Becoming conscious of the Universe in which you live; how can you explain it without God?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. You say "well, you start with a cell."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">5. Men have become so wise in the fields of science, yet many of these same men totally ignorant concerning own spirit.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Sought to explore and conquer space when within their own being a vast unexplored and unconquered area.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Men today seeking to order their homes.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. They desire to provide their families security.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Security by insurance policies.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Seek most gainful employment to provide better things...proper food, proper shelter...proper clothes. Spirits are starved, dwelling naked in the wilderness or vacuum.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. We take such pains to care for body comforts - but totally neglect spirit. "Damn my parents."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. "SET HIS HOUSEHOLD IN ORDER AND HANGED HIMSELF."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">Strange paradoxes of homo sapiens.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Men very diligent on their jobs.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Would not think of stealing from employer yet they steal from God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. They listen ever so intently during briefing sessions yet fall asleep when eternal verities are being proclaimed.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Meticulous in their savings program yet laid up nothing for eternity.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. SET HIS HOUSEHOLD IN ORDER AND HANGED HIMSELF.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">Folly of purely human reason.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Cast lot with Absalom human reasoning.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Did not reckon with God's will for David.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. He saw great mistake in going with Absalom.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Determined only one way out; suicide.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Did not reckon with God's grace.</div>
