Summertime Sins “Then He spoke to them a parable: ‘Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near’” (Lk. 21:29, 30)

Jeremiah 8:19, Listen! The voice, The cry of the daughter of my people from a far country: "Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her?" "Why have they provoked Me to anger With their carved images–– with foreign idols?" 20 "The harvest is past, The summer is ended, and we are not saved!"

Summertime Sins

WHAT IS THE FUNDAMENTAL REASON FOR WEARING CLOTHING?

Because of Sin Adam & Eve “Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings” (Gen. 3:7) “loin coverings” (NASB) “aprons” (KJV) “belt” (cf. 2 Sam. 18:11; 1 Kin. 2:5, NKJV)

Appropriate Coverings Adam & Eve 8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, "Where are you?" 10 So he said, "I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself" (Gen. 3:8-10; cf. Jn. 21:7)

Appropriate Coverings Adam & Eve “ Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed them” (Gen. 3:21) Adam’s clothing was insufficient they were “covered” with their leaves but were still unclothed!

1 Timothy 2:9, 10 9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. “modest” –well arranged, seemly “propriety” –regard for others, bashfulness, reverence (“shamefacedness” KJV) “moderation” –soundness of mind, soberness, self-control

Are You A Woman?

Men Are NOT Excluded Titus 2:6-8 6 Likewise exhort the young men to be sober–minded, 7 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, 8 sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.

Wearing Immodest Apparel is not sober-minded is not concerned for the thoughts of others displays a spirit that is conformed to the world (Rom. 12:2) is sin

How Are These Modest??? swim suits bikinis short shorts mini skirts half shirts tight body molding clothing low cut shirts “And there a woman met him, with the attire of a harlot, and a crafty heart” (Prov. 7:10)

Summertime Sins

“not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching” Heb. 10:25 FORSAKING – abandon, desert, to leave surviving ASSEMBLING – gathering together (of ourselves) all religious gatherings of Christians in the congregation where we are members THE MANNER OF SOME “habit” (New American Standard Greek Lexicon)

Can Make You Lost! To neglect the assembling of saints is to SIN! God always held those who forsook the religious assemblies with contempt “But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and ceases to keep the Passover, that same person shall be cut off from among his people, because he did not bring the offering of the LORD at its appointed time; that man shall bear his sin” (Num. 9:13) not defiled by a dead man not hung up too far away from Jerusalem shall die, be lost and condemned legitimate reasons forsaking

Ways People Forsake 1.attending the “Mattress Springs Church of Christ” too tired to get up 2.seeks first work and employer rather than the kingdom “gladly” takes extra hours at the job when it conflicts with worship “gladly” takes a job that will take him/her away from the worship services Never tells employer that the commitment to worship God comes before the job

Ways People Forsake 3.recreate away from God pretends he is a church by taking the elements of the Lord’s Supper with him on his pleasure trip doesn’t bother searching for a sound church to worship with when gone vacations from his duty to give 4.gives little concern about “Bible study” only concerned with getting to “worship” do as little as possible/seek minimum service 5.Sunday Sickness

Why People Forsake Forsaking is sin, but other sins lead to the action Not seeking first the kingdom of God (Matt. 6:33) Loving something more than God (Mk. 12:30) We create idols when we place anything before God

Consider Hebrews 10:22-39 BRETHREN WHO FORSAKE... are neglectful of the covenant (v. 29) insult the Spirit (v. 29) have forgotten their former state (vv. 32, 33) are not compassionate for brethren (v. 34) have forgotten about heaven (v. 34) cast away their confidence (v. 35) have no endurance (v. 36) give little thought of the second coming (v. 37) are not living by faith but drawing back (v. 38) do not have to continue to do so (v. 39)do not have to continue to do so (v. 39)
