DESCRIPTION

What's Down The Road?" - First of all it depends which road we are on. Are we on the broad road that leads to eternal death or are we on the narrow road that leads to everlasting life? (Mat 7:13,14). Secondly, It is not within man's ability to “direct his own steps” through this life! (Jer. 10:23). What's down the road in this life for the person following God's instructions compared to the one who doesn't? (Some thoughts for the young, married, parents & local churches) – You can listen to this lesson and view the charts on our website: http://w65stchurchofchrist.org/coc/

Whatrsquos Down The RoadA Hundred Years From Now

A Hundred Years From Now Tell me friend what will it matter

Say a hundred years from now If you owned ten thousand acres Or just one old broken plough

If you bought your suits in Paris And your shoes in Italy Or your clothes were made in patches Like the bed quilts used to be

But theres more to life than livin More for those who will believe More store laid up in Heaven If the Saviour we receive

Whether we are lost forever Or to Jesus here we bow This is what will make the difference In a hundred years from now

Whatrsquos Down The RoadA Hundred Years From Now

A Hundred Years From Now Tell me friend what will it matter

Say a hundred years from now If you owned ten thousand acres Or just one old broken plough

If you bought your suits in Paris And your shoes in Italy Or your clothes were made in patches Like the bed quilts used to be

But theres more to life than livin More for those who will believe More store laid up in Heaven If the Saviour we receive

Whether we are lost forever Or to Jesus here we bow This is what will make the difference In a hundred years from now

A Hundred Years From Now Tell me friend what will it matter

Say a hundred years from now If you owned ten thousand acres Or just one old broken plough

If you bought your suits in Paris And your shoes in Italy Or your clothes were made in patches Like the bed quilts used to be

But theres more to life than livin More for those who will believe More store laid up in Heaven If the Saviour we receive

Whether we are lost forever Or to Jesus here we bow This is what will make the difference In a hundred years from now

For the church of Christ -shy‐ Ridicule Persecution Heaven

For local churches Shrinking or growth Death or vibrance Apostasy or faithfulness

Depends on the faithfulness of members to Godrsquos word -shy‐

Demand it be preached amp followed -shy‐ (2 Tim 42 2 Ths 36)

Demand nothing be done for which there is no Biblical authority -shy‐ (Col 317)

Apostasy is very difficult to recognize in its early stages (begins with a change of attitude towards the need for authority)

When a congregation begins to move away from Godrsquos word it is very difficult to stop

To practice one unauthorized work will lead to more and more unauthorized actions -shy‐

The line must be drawn where divine authority ends -shy‐ Deut 42

Whatrsquos Down The RoadA Hundred Years From Now

A Hundred Years From Now Tell me friend what will it matter

Say a hundred years from now If you owned ten thousand acres Or just one old broken plough

If you bought your suits in Paris And your shoes in Italy Or your clothes were made in patches Like the bed quilts used to be

But theres more to life than livin More for those who will believe More store laid up in Heaven If the Saviour we receive

Whether we are lost forever Or to Jesus here we bow This is what will make the difference In a hundred years from now

Proverbs 31-shy‐12 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart

And lean not on your own understanding 6 In all your ways

acknowledge Him And He shall direct your paths 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes Fear the LORD and depart from

evil 8 It will be health to your flesh And strength to your bones 9 Honor the

LORD with your possessions And with the firstfruits of all your increase

Proverbs 31-shy‐12 (NKJV) 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty And your vats will overflow with new wine 11 My son do not despise the chastening of the

LORD Nor detest His correction 12 For whom the LORD loves He

corrects Just as a father the son in whom he delights
