  1. FACT – FAITH - FEELING Three elements that must be kept in proper order

  2. Three Elements • FACT – Biblical and Historical • II Peter 1:16 “For we did not follow cleverly devised tales ..but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. • 2 Peter 1:12 “I will always be ready to remind you of these things, which have been established in the truth..” • FAITH – Heb 11:6 • FEELING – (Emotions) –Acts 8:39, Gal 5:22ff

  3. Feelings/Faith/Facts • Dangerous –Prov 14:12 • All Differ – what is the standard? • Feelings are vital—must not be placed first.

  4. Faith/Facts/Feelings • I believe this is right. Period. • “My Faith is made up, don’t bother me with the facts!”

  5. The Bible order is… • FACTS FIRST FAITH • FAITH FEELINGS!

  6. Must Face The Facts! • God sent His son -- Jn 3:16. • Jesus Died, Buried, Ress. Lk 23, Jn 14:23 • Must obey the Gospel –II Thess 1:8 • Born into the Kingdom – Jn 3:5 • Obedience=Salvation! Ats 2:38, 3:19 • Promise of Eternal Life! I Jn 2:25

  7. First Facts then Faith • Rm 10:17 “Faith cometh by hearing…” • Not Mysterious • Not a “gift” you “wait” for • No one is ever converted without first hearing! • MUST HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO OBEY THE FACTS! Mk 16:15-16

  8. Role of Feelings • Must avoid extremes: • Some abuse feelings –put them first! EMOTIONALISM • Some over-react to the abuse and are afraid! • TO LEAVE OUT FEELINGS IS JUST AS SERIOUS AS LEAVING OUT FACTS AND FAITH!

  9. BIBLICAL EXAMPLES • Phil 4:4 –REJOICE! • Prodigal Son – • Lk 15:20 “moved with compassion, and fell on his neck and kissed him.” • The Eunuch – Acts 8:35-38 • Good conscience produces good feelings! I Peter 3:21
