PROPOSITION:<\/strong> To set forth religious sin.<\/p>\n

OBJECTIVE:<\/strong> To help us avoid religious sin.<\/p>\n

INTRODUCTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Read: Acts 17:22-31.<\/p>\n

2. Regarding the text:<\/p>\n

1) Athens.<\/p>\n

2) Very religious = too superstitious = demon worshipers.<\/p>\n

3) There IS religion and worship of ignorance.<\/p>\n

4) Ignorance is no excuse. Why?<\/p>\n

5) Romans 1:21, 25, 28.<\/p>\n

6) God does not need what WE have, but we do NEED what God has.<\/p>\n

7) We can and will receive what God has on and only on God’s conditions.<\/p>\n

8) Therefore, any offering made to God which is not according to his instructions is sin . . . even religious sin.<\/p>\n

3. Reference to S.T.P.O.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

DISCUSSION:<\/strong> We ask —<\/p>\n

I.   Isn’t being religious enough?<\/p>\n

1. Cartoon in Ft. Worth Star Telegram, “Rick-O-Shea,” man leaving assembled folks where he never attended, went up into the mountains and there said, “Hi, Boss, I waited till you were finished with those folks down in the valley before I came to see you in your cathedral in the mountains.” This man was a murdering gun-slinger who killed for fun and profit.<\/p>\n

2. Men have always been religious.<\/p>\n

3. Jesus did not come into the world to make men religious, but to make them religiously correct, John 4:21.<\/p>\n

4. James says that a Christian’s religion can be and IS vain if that Christian does not bridle his tongue, James 1:26.<\/p>\n

5. Acceptable religion requires at least four things according to James 1:27. It must be:<\/p>\n

1) Pure;<\/p>\n

2) Undefiled;<\/p>\n

3) Visiting fatherless and widows; and<\/p>\n

4) Keeping oneself unspotted from the world.<\/p>\n

5) NOTE: One can NOT keep himself unspotted from the world if he has never been cleansed from the world in the first place.<\/p>\n

II.  Doesn’t a person have the right to his own opinion?<\/p>\n

1. 1 Corinthians 1:10.<\/p>\n

2. 1 Timothy 4:16.<\/p>\n

3. John 8:32.<\/p>\n

4. In FACT, no one has the right to be religiously wrong.<\/p>\n

III. Can religion be sin?<\/p>\n

1. How about idolatry?<\/p>\n

1) Ephesians 5:5; and<\/p>\n

2) Colossians 3:5-6.<\/p>\n

2. How about heathenism and paganism in all their forms?<\/p>\n

1) 2 Kings 16:3;<\/p>\n

2) Matthew 6:7; and<\/p>\n

3) Matthew 18:17 (all KJV).<\/p>\n

3. But what about those who believe in Christ but just believe differently?<\/p>\n

1) John 12:42-43.<\/p>\n

2) Acts 26:27.<\/p>\n

3) James 2:19.<\/p>\n

4) John 1:12.<\/p>\n

4. All disobedience is sin, even religious disobedience.<\/p>\n

1) This is true for denominations!<\/p>\n

2) This is true for the Lord’s body!<\/p>\n

5. God wants us to be more than obedient; he wants us to be holy.<\/p>\n

CONCLUSION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. We have asked:<\/p>\n

1) Isn’t being religious good enough?;<\/p>\n

2) Doesn’t a person have the right to be wrong?; and<\/p>\n

3) Can religion be sin?<\/p>\n

2. Let us never be guilty of religious sin, Romans 6:16-18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
