Success in Christian Life
#
Psalm 119:9-16
Introduction
What is Success in the Christian life? What do I mean by that, I think success in the christian life should be defined by a genuine, sincere walk with the Lord, in which the christian grows, and develops a deep relationship with Jesus Christ. You can call it spirituality, success, a truly genuine relationship with Jesus Christ, but whatever words you use to define that, I’m calling that a successful christian life.

Recognizing God’s Role
#
Psalm 119:17-24
Introduction
While the entirety of Psalm 119 is about the Word of God, it is not absent of other topics. The Word of God is tied to many subjects. We learned last week, the Word of God is essential to maintain a clean, spiritual life.
Tonight, I want to notice the involvement of God as he interacts with those who acknowledge His Word. I like the phrase, “God’s Word”. In Psalm 119, it frequently shows up with the possessive adjective “thy” which means it belongs to God. You see that frequently in the Psalm. The Bible is God’s, not man’s. It is God’s Word that makes a difference in our life, not my words, not your words, not Shakespeare’s words. All words can have an influence and impact, but not have the impact that God’s Word makes!

Committed to God

Psalm 119:41-48
Introduction
This portion is cleanly divided into two different ideas. As a result I only have two points. However, you can think of them as two messages, as each one could very well be separate messages. I will give them both to you, but in an effort to better help us, we are going to focus on the second portion. The first portion is verses 41-43, and the second point comes from verses 44-48.

A Dark Hour
#
Psalm 119:81-84
Introduction
I read the word Octet; that is what each set of verses are called. I have been struggling with what to call each section, but that is the proper word. Each section is consistent with 8 verses. Octet is fitting.
Have you ever been at a dark time in your life. I mean, when everything seemed like it was falling apart, nothing would go right, and you wondered if God was listening, cared, or even out there? Maybe you feel that way right now. Sometimes, we really struggle in life. Sometimes, things get really discouraging in life. David, felt this way in his life. We can really benefit from what God inspired him to write, as a help, benefit, and blessing to us.

Instruction
#
Proverbs 19:20
Introduction
Last week we looked at: Path of Life: 1. Integrity, 2. Ignorance 3.
Idleness 4. Intelligence
All the verses we will look at tonight pertain to Instruction. Proverbs
talks a lot about instruction. Really, in the Path of life, we have
access to a lot of instruction. We pick and chose the instruction we
want to follow. As we study the Proverbs, understand that for the most
part when instruction is mentioned, it is talking about spiritual godly
instruction found in the Word of God. You will find no greater
instruction.

Punishment
#
Proverbs 19:5, 9, 25, 29
Introduction
The Bible clearly shows and displays the compassion, and love of God.
Sometimes, people ask the question, “How can a loving God punish
people?” Some people could be confused by that. A mom, that loves her
child, will at times have to punish and correct her child. Jesus
illustrates the undying love of God in the parable of the prodigal son,
and at the same time, we can see the need for correction and punishment

Integrity
#
Proverbs 20:7 – The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are
blessed after him.
Introduction
Integrity is something that is very important. Integrity is not
something easily viewed. Integrity is that personal desire to do what is
right when no one is around to notice, and no one will ever find out. It
is closely related to character.
I. Integrity in Conduct (Proverbs 20:7)
#
A. Integrity in Action – Job, David, Samuel, Daniel, Joseph
#
1. Integrity does not come naturally
#
Prov. 22:15 ¶ Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the
rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Forgiven yet Accountable
#
Introduction
Question:
If we repent and make known our sins to God, then we are forgiven, do we
still pay for those sins at the judgement seat (when we pass away)? Such
as fornication, blasphemy, etc.?
This is a great question.
In order to understand this, we must clearly define some things. So
let’s take a look at Scripture, and find out what the Bible says.
