<div class="SSN_title">"THE PERILS OF PROCRASTINATION."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: To whom written. The danger facing them. The danger of procrastination recognized in natural realm. "No time like the present. Don't put off till tomorrow." The call of Christ to men - so many lack just one thing, a full surrender to Him.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. THE ASSUMPTIONS OF THE TEXT.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Human responsibility begins when you hear His voice.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Some may see a loophole here and say I have never heard His voice.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. It may never come with the articulation of human utterance.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. The voice may seem to be of your own mind.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. "Work out your own salvation - for it is God that worketh in you."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">d. God's final voice to you will never come through human lips.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">e. How do I know if it is God's voice or not?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">1. The content of the message spoken.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level5">2. Call to a higher life? Submission? Folly of trying to satisfy your life with things of dust.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Never heard God's voice? Think again.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Ever felt inner rebuke when you did wrong?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Ever feel the lovliness of Jesus Christ?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Ever desire freedom from some wrong habit or desire?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The freedom of my will, "Today if ye shall hear His voice, harden not your hearts."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. We can harden them, if we want.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We can see the light and choose darkness.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. When God speaks, I am free to obey or disobey.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. THE WARNING OF THE TEXT, "TODAY"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The sense of the immediate - the danger of procrastination.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. One hears the call and intends to answer, postpones till some more convenient time.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. I believe that this one thing has caused more people to miss the highest and descend to the lowest than in any other way.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Not antagonism of God, but admiration and postponement of decision.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The perils of procrastination.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. To refuse to obey is to soon lose the sense of urgency.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. To fail to walk in the light is to soon lose the admiration for the light.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. To just linger in the gleam will cause it to fade, and finally we will think it was just our imagination.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Thousands of case histories attest to this fact.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Men who were once close - saw ideal, felt drawn, hardened.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. THE GOSPEL IN THE TEXT.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Suggested in the one word "Today."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. No music in that word?</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The world's dark night is fast approaching, but it is still today.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Today suggests immediate possibility and warns of consequent peril.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. The voice of Christ is speaking to men.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Not speculative.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Not a philosophy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Authoritatively.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. It calls you too high life and promises you all the powers to attain.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. It calls you to sacrifice and promises full compensation.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_notes">Do not listen for His voice through my lips. He speaks when I have ceased. I have given you His truth, He will make those truths grip your heart. That voice tells you to forsake your evil to come to the higher life. It commands you to the cross and to Jesus Christ. To delay is to blaspheme, only one reasonable time for action, "Today."</div>
