Sermon-A Holy God and Holy Days

http://www.sermonaudio.com/playpopup.asp?SID=1225111136427

Deuteronomy 7:5King James Version (KJV)

5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

Two ways to approach celebrating man-made “holy” days:

unbiblical way-you can celebrate anything so long as God does not forbid it in His Word (yet, He does forbid paganism mixed in with the holy worship of Him!)

biblical way-you can only celebrate that which is found in God’s Word and only in the way that is according to His Word

Why is Sound Doctrine so Important?

Truth!

The Biblical Case Against Christmas – Pagan Idolatry Baptized by Catholicism

This teaching proves from the Bible that God does not accept worship that is based on a lie, that is of the world, and is mixed with heathen idolatry. We examine and refute common arguments used to justify Christmas like “Jesus knows what’s in my heart” and using Christmas to evangelize.

Importance of Sound Doctrine

Form the book, Bible Readings for the Home, 1943, a family devotional and study book:

Does it matter what one believes, so long as he is sincere?

God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth. – 2 Thessalonians 2:13

“…and belief of the truth.”

Doctrine affects the life. Truth leads to life and to God; error to death and destruction. No one would think of saying it matters not what god one worships, so long as he is sincere, any more than he would think of saying it matters not what one eats and drinks, so long as he relishes what he eats and drinks; or what road he travels, so long as he thinks he is on the right road. Sincerity is a virtue; but it is not the test of sound doctrine. God wills that we shall know the truth, and He has made provision whereby we may know what is truth.

The influence of all idolatrous worship is degrading.

It is idolatry, not only to worship a false god, but the true God in a false manner. – Thomas Watson

Don’t Be Spoiled

Go Forth Outside the Camp

We must seperate from our brethren, also, when they play the harlot’s daughter during pagan/papist unholy days.

Sherry's avatarHe Hath Said

“Let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp.”-Hebrews 13:13

Jesus, bearing His cross, went forth to suffer without the gate. The Christian’s reason for leaving the camp of the world’s sin and religion is not because he loves to be singular, but because Jesus did so; and the disciple must follow his Master. Christ was “not of the world:” His life and His testimony were a constant protest against conformity with the world. Never was such overflowing affection for men as you find in Him; but still He was separate from sinners. In like manner Christ’s people must “go forth unto Him.” They must take their position “without the camp,” as witness-bearers for the truth. They must be prepared to tread the straight and narrow path. They must have bold, unflinching, lion-like hearts, loving Christ first, and His truth next, and Christ and His truth beyond all the…
