Slide:
*Acts 18:9 *Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; \\ *10 *for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.”
\\ *NKJV*
The Lord tells Paul,
Do not be afraid.
Intro:
There’s two ingredients needed for a successful society.
Law and Order.
1. Law
You need the Law to /determine/ right from wrong.
2. Order
You need someone to /discipline/ to those who do wrong.
Physical world laws are easy to see.
Gravity always works.
Water is always wet.
Chiefs are always looking to next year.
Spiritual world~/The world you and I live in.
That world can be a scary place.
Right is not always right.
Wrong is not always.
The new word is tolerance.
The world doesn’t need tolerance.
The world doesn’t need love.
The world needs law and order.
Title Message:
Slide: “Law and Order
Illustration:
Have you seen the TV series, “Law and Order”?
· Crime series
· Set in New York
· First half show Detectives investigate crimes~/apprehend…
· Law part of the show.
· Shifts to courts
· Prosecute the accused.
· Some cases are simple.
Black and white.
· Some are challenging~/complicated.
· Plea bargaining.
To determine guilt of innocence.
Sometimes the guilty go free
Innocent are convicted.
Sticky question;
What happens when the punishment doesn’t fit the crime.
We see the guilty go free.
What about when the innocent are punished.
Let’s see if /The Punishment Fit the Crime./
Slide:
*Acts 18:11 *And he continued /there/ a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
\\ *12 *When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat, \\ *NKJV*
Gallio~/Proconsul of Achaia.
Gallio ~/ Roman official, governor.
Not Jewish
Roman law took precedent over Jewish law.
The unbelieving Jews.
Brought Paul to the judgement seat.
A place where you are judged.
And Paul was prepared to defend himself.
Slide:
*Acts 18:13 *saying, “This /fellow/ persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
\\ *14 *And when Paul was about to open /his/ mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews, there would be reason why I should bear with you.
\\ *NKJV*
Interesting how God works.
Paul ~/ Roman citizen ~/ prepared to defend himself ~/ against Romans.
Turns out that Romans were defending Him.
Illustration;
Sued over selling house~/title company didn’t clear.
/I was innocent./
Wrote letter to God.
You know what’s right~/your will be done.
I like what v. 14
If it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews there would be reason why I should bear with you.
Slide
*Acts 18:15 *But if it is a question of words and names and your own law, look /to it/ yourselves; for I do not want to be a judge of such /matters./”
\\ *NKJV*
Words and names.
I don’t think he’s saying trivial matters.
Illustration;
Depending on who’s speaking them words can mean a lot.
When a women say’s…
Fine;
This is the word we use at the end of any argument that we feel we are right about but need to shut you up.
NEVER use fine to describe how a woman looks.
This will cause you to have one of those arguments.
Five Minutes’
This is half an hour.
It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so I feel that it's an even trade.
Nothing;
This means something and you should be on your toes.
"Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards.
"Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with the word "Fine".
Words and names can be very funny~/or deadly
Illustration;
Megan Meier
· Oct 16th, 2006 she hanged herself.
· Some kids and adult created this fake profile.
· Made friends with Megan.
· Began to send cruel messages.
Talk about her.
· Calling her fat~/slut posting things on the internet.
· Spreading gossip.
