There is a poem, author unknown, which I (R.B. Thieme, Jr)

have adapted, for it beautifully sums up God's purpose for us

in the angelic conflict:

You cannot choose your battlefield---

God does that for you;

But you can plant the colors

Where the colors never flew!

(Waco, Texas, Texian Press 1967)

A Warning Of Danger

Stop forsaking or neglecting the assembling of yourselves

together as is the habit of certain ones who are reversionistic;

but by being an encouragement, even so much more as you

see the day drawing near.

Hebrews 10:25 

Hebrews 10;35 issues a warning concerning the danger of

negative volition, while verse 36 states the benefits of

persistence in the function GAP and or perseverance 

of positive volition.

Rebound Technique

Dispensations

No catastrophe, no political  maneuvering or national turmoil

has ever caught God off guard; from eternity past, His omniscience

foresaw every event. More important, He controls history without

coercing human volition. Free will was the issue in the creation of

man and continues to be paramount in this stage of the angelic con-

-flict. Bible doctrine in the soul is the basis for correctly evaluating our

own spiritual advance and our personal relationship to contemporary

events.

By means of doctrine we learn that the ages (dispensations)

have been put together by the word (decree) from God, with

the result that what is being seen has not come to pass from

those who are visible (expanded trans., Heb. 11:3)

Study To Show Thyself Approved--2 Timothy-2:15

It is an arresting thought to realize that your persistence

in doctrine, wherever you are, is a vital factor in maintaining

this nation.

Your attitude toward doctrine is a determining factor in the

preservation of your country. God honors positive volition

toward doctrine, and the most patriotic activity you can ever

pursue is to learn Bible doctrine! Such a decision on the part 

 any member of the Royal Family can change the direction

of history.

These words were from 1975

R.B.Thieme Jr told us back then the time would come if

we did not have doctrine in our soul, we would fall

a part with what was coming to America.

Divine Decrees

The sum total of God the Father' s Plan for the human 

race, but specifically for the believer (Psa. 148:6). 

Designed in eternity past and centered in the Person

of Jesus Christ as Savior (Eph.1:4-6; 1 Pet. 1:20);

based  on the principle of grace (2:8,9).

Historically, God has always favored the  Royal Family,

particularly those who are positive to Bible doctrine.

As long as any country possesses a nucleus of believers

who are following the colors and advancing toward

spiritual maturity, that nation will remain intact.

Doctrine In Advance to Super-Grace-- Or Instant Reality

The events we observe unfolding in history "have not come

to  pass from what is visible". In other words, it  is not the

visible which shapes the course of history but the invisible.

We see disaster, catastrophe, depression, wars, disease, death

or  their  imminent  possibility  on  every side; yet there is

an invisible Hand at the helm of the universe--divine interven-

tion and providence-- that safely pilots mankind past the cliffs

and  boulders  of human  lust and folly! (Heb. 11:3)  Implies

that the occurrences in history are regulated by the positive

mental attitude of the members of the Royal Family of God.

That is the slender thread that upholds our nation. Should that

positive volition turn negative, the thread could snap and the

long-expected collapse of this country would be an instant reality.

Wake Up

No Conflict With His Plan

Bible Doctrine

Must become more real than what you see (2 Pet. 1:12-21), or

you will discard it like trash. When you find excuses for your

failure to take in doctrine on a consistent basis, you are saying

in effect that there is some object, some person,some activity

more fascinating and more real to you than doctrine. God does

not desire to withhold good things from you (Psa. 84:11); rather

He wants to bless you to the maximum.

Legalism Or Doctrine

They threw away as worthless their confidence in doctrine

and retreated from honorable combat into the ignominy of

legalism. But retreat is not in  God's Plan for the Christian

soldier!  Instead, we are conceived for  the  purpose  of 

possessing doctrine in our souls. Therefore,since we have

been designed to take in doctrine, we must recognize it as

our authority, our inner dictator and guide.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things 

not seen (Heb. 11:1)

To Be Occupied

We are not here to pursue the allurements and glamorous

pipe dreams of  Satan's world system but to follow the

glorious colors of Bible doctrine to the high ground: to be

occupied with the Person of  Jesus Christ; to develop and

enjoy tremendous capacity for life and to receive super-

grace blessings. These are all the result of doctrine in the

soul.

 Therefore-----

we are not the retreating category of believers designed for

destruction (sin unto death), but the doctrinal category for the

purpose of doctrinal possession by the soul, which leads to

super-grace status (expanded trans., Heb. 10:39

The unbeliever can be demon-possessed; the believer can be

doctrine-possessed!

When our mental attitude reflects human viewpoint,

Disobedient

Here I go with human opinion, but when you read this

it sure sounds like our nation!

Our stubborn disobedient to God.

After the death of Moses, Joshua led the Israelite's in to the

promised land. Under his leadership, the Israelite's served the Lord. 

(Judg. 2:7)  

But after Joshua and the generation that outlived him died, the Israelites

forgot God and what He had done (V.10) They rejected godly leadership

and embraced sin. (VV.11-15).

Jesus, please help us remember You are our living King of Kings

and Lord of Lords, almighty and worthy of our loving obedience

and trust.

A Plan

God's Plan

for your life and mine has existed from eternity past; so have 

the logistics He has provided to enable us to achieve that pur-

pose. In  the simplest of terms, God  wants us to be happy,

 successful  and prosperous, materially  and spiritually. The

reason some do not reach  the objective is that  they choose 

to remain on the outer perimeter of God's Plan for their life;

they are negative toward the optimum that converts proposed

blessings to realized blessings-- Bible doctrine!

Redemption:

The purchase of a slave from the slave  market of sin and the act

of setting him free. Jesus Christ paid the ransom with His blood,

which represents His spiritual death on the Cross.

To the Lord, all you families of nations  ascribe to

the Lord glory and strength. 

Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and

 Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

Tremble before him,( all) the earth! The world is firmly established;

 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let

them say among the nations,"The Lord reigns!"

Let the sea resound, and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant, and

Let the trees of the forest sing, let them sing for joy before the Lord,

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Disaster

A full--blown disaster

This will happen in your life time; you will walk headlong into a

maelstrom of adversity. Without Bible doctrine in your soul, you

will be caught short and fall apart. On the other hand, if you have

 persisted in learning doctrine, you will never need a pastor or any-

one else to hover over you to utter platitudes or to quote Scripture

which you could not possibly assimilate under pressure. With doc-

toctrine in your soul, you will be spiritually self-sustaining; you will

have inner resources necessary to meet any exigency of life.

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

1 Peter 5:7

He Will Not Tarry

For yet a little while, he that shall come will come 

and will not tarry (Heb. 10:37).

"For yet a little while--how short, how short" (literally) is

an excerpt from Isaiah 26:20. The conjunctive particle GAR

expresses both explanation and continuation through docu--

mentation from the Old Testament Scriptures. While Isaiah's

prophecy pertained to the Second Advent of Christ, the appli-

cation concerns the brevity of our time on earth and the short-

ness of the dispensation which will terminate with the Rapture

of the Church.

God has allotted to each of us a certain amount of time on

earth after salvation.Whatever length it is may seem by human

standards-- is a short span in the light of  eternity.

The High Ground

Perseverance

The  Latin poet, Horace, understood and proclaimed the

axiom of perseverance: "Let him proceed as he began, and 

be consistent with himself."

You  began by listening to doctrine; if you are consistent

with yourself, you will persevere until you take that high

ground!

The Apostle Paul affirmed the principle of perseverance

in the Epistle to the Colossians:

According as you have received to yourself Christ Jesus

the Lord, so Keep Walking in Him: having been rooted 

and constantly being built up in Him, being stabilized by 

means of doctrine in the manner that you have been taught,

over flowing with thanksgiving.

(expanded Trans)  Col. 2: 6,7

Why do we need training of Bible on a consistent basis ?

blown disaster; we are walking headlong into a maelstrom of

Knowledge

The Bible

When the Bible is taught exegetically, basic doctrine will

often be interspersed with advanced concepts. This is ad--

vantageous in that each passage contains information for

every believer, regardless of his spiritual stage of growth.

No believer is too ignorant or too academically deficient

to learn Bible doctrine----if he will stick with it!

One Body----Its Life

God set the members every one of them in the body,

as it hath pleased him.
