Time since Adam: 6,020 years

Some will therefore conclude that we have a
minimum of 25,000 – 6,020 = 18,980 years
before Christ returns. This assumes that
Adam’s generation was in fact the 1st
generation.

every man at his best state is altogether vanity

A quote from a previous sermon:
“…, murmuring or to put it another
way, sowing seeds of discord among the
brethren is listed as the seventh thing that
God hates. Proverbs (6:19).
Let us as a church and as leaders avoid
these pitfalls. Let us also continue to
examine ourselves and refrain from
criticising others”

15. God’s Question and His answer on 15 of 21
Sunday October 7, 2012
Why are the talents not used in this
church?
James 1:23-24 For if anyone is a hearer
of the word and not a doer, he is like a
man observing his natural face in a
mirror; For he beholdeth himself, and
goeth his way, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was

Sunday October 7, 2012
Why is there a perceived stagnation
in the stream?
•Perhaps there are man made dams
restricting its flow such as poor attitudes,
selfish intentions even jealousy and malice.
•Perhaps there are mountains blocking one’s
view and the stream is in fact gathering pace
and leaving some behind.

Ephesians 4:11-12
11 And He gave some, apostles; and
some, prophets; and some, evangelists;
and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for
the work of the ministry, for the edifying
of the body of Christ:

If you think the unemployment statistics in the
country are bad, take a look at the church.
Twenty percent of its members give eighty
percent of its income, and do eighty percent of
its work. The rest are happy just to be
spectators. It's easy to sit back, criticise and say,
'Why doesn't the church do something about the
problem?' Hold on there: You are the church;
you do something about it! You say, 'But I left my
church because I don't like the way they do
things.'

19. Excerpt from UCB Word of Today 19 of 21
Monday October 8, 2012
You didn't leave God's church, which is the body
of Christ, did you? So, instead of talking about
what your church doesn't do, look in the mirror
and ask yourself, 'What am I doing for the Lord?'
Do you know what an Armchair Manager is? It's
someone who analyses the game when it's over,
criticises the players, complains about the
referee's calls, and is content to sit in the
stadium and be a spectator rather than a player.

20. God’s Question Today 20 of 21
Sunday October 14, 2012
We have heard a few announcements
today of what this church is engaged in
during the coming weeks.
The question is “Will you and I play our
part and use our talents. This is the
stream that is moving. If you remain in
your Armchair, you will be left behind.
