<div class="SSN_title">"THE WORD OF GOD"</div>
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: God has spoken to man! He has revealed himself to us so we might know His love, and His plan for our lives. He has given to us the rules for a rich, full, joyful life. How important it is to know and give heed to God's Word.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. "WHEREWITHAL SHALL A YOUNG MAN CLEANSE HIS WAY?"</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The psychologists tell us that most of our emotional disorders stem from a guilt complex.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Our guilt creates a sub-conscious desire for punishment.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. We begin some neurotic behavior pattern that is subconsciously designed to bring disapproval or punishment.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We need to be cleansed from our sins.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Consciously we may laugh at them.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Sub-consciously they are ripping us up.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. You may attempt to repress your feelings of guilt, they will out.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">d. Cleansing is one of our greatest emotional needs.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">e. I desire to feel clean, washed, pure.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. How can a man be clean?</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. How can you make something that is isn't?</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We look at the feeble attempts of man outside of Christ.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The philosophers have sought to rid sin through relativity.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. It's all relative to the moves.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. You can always find some sub-culture where your actions are acceptable practice.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. The psychologist will take a page from the philosopher and tell you that you are not really bad, you have set impractical standards, you can't live by the puritan ethic.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. Try as you may, you can't talk guilt away.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. We see others performing penance.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">1. They inflict pain upon themselves.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">2. They deprive themselves.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">3. You may try to crawl on your knees from here to N.Y. fasting all the way. You won't get far, either towards N.Y. or removing your guilt.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. "By taking heed to the Word" Jesus said; "Now ye are clean through the Word..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. God's Word acknowledges our sin.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. "All we like sheep..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">2. "For all have sinned" if we say...</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. His word assures us that "if we confess our sins, He is..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">4. It's so beautiful God gives me a clean page and lets me start all over.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. However before I get very far I blotch the new page.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. How can I get to the place where I don't need several new pages each day?</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. "THY WORD HAVE I HID IN MY HEART, THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST THEE."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Giving heed to God's Word will bring you cleansing.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Hiding it in your heart will keep you clean.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The word becomes the power in our life to keep us from sin.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Some have prayed and agonized for years over a particular sin in their life.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Can a child of God be set free?</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Is there deliverance? YES! It's not by casting out the darkness. It's putting in the light!</div>
