Making Transitions
Pastor Bill McMinn and Brad Brobst talk about making transitions.
One of Bill’s mantras in life is this – nothing stays the same forever. Things are always changing.
Ecclesiastes 3: There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
9 What do workers gain from their toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human
race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart;
yet [a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Taking A Stand
READ: Genesis 6:5
CHALLENGE: Stand for What’s Right
This is a Bible. It’s not old fashioned or out of date. If anything, the Bible keeps us from devolving into the worst mess of humanity. If you want to talk what’s old fashion, it’s sin. Murder was in the beginning. As was immorality and violence and injustice. That’s what’s old fashion in the world.
A. YOU DON’T HAVE FOREVER TO GET IT TOGETHER
V3 – Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend withhumans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
1. God’s Spirit Strives with People
Job 34:14-15 – If it were his intentionand he withdrew his spiritand breath,15 all humanity would perish together.
John 16:8 – When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:
Job 33:14-18 – For God does speak—now one way, now another—though no one perceives it.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on peopleas they slumber in their beds,16 he may speak in their ears.
2. Enough is Enough – You Can Push God Too Far
2 Peter 3:8-9 – But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
B. KNOW THAT SIN IS AN ENDLESS and DANGEROUS SLIDE
V5 – The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.
1. Sin is an Endless Hallway so Don’t Take the First Step
2. Sin Wants More and More of You
Romans 1:24-25 – Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
C. CHOOSE TO DO THE RIGHT THING
Vv8-9 – But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.This is the account of Noah and his family.
Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.
· Noah Found Favor
Galatians 1:10 – Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Don’t be afraid to be different. I’m not saying, weird.
· Righteous
To be righteous means that you have a standard that you live by. The standard here is set by God.
“The root basically connotes conformity to an ethical or moral standard. It originally referred to something that was straight. It refers to an ethical standard. A moral standard is found in the Old Testament. The standard ultimately resides in the nature and will of God”.
Righteousness is not something that just impacts you personally. Righteousness “tries to preserve the peace and prosperity of the community by fulfilling the commands of God in regard to others”
Job 29:12-17 – because I rescued the poor who cried for help, and the fatherless who had none to assist them.13 The one who was dying blessed me; justice was my robe and my turban.15 I was eyes to the blind.
What is righteousness? Rescuing the poor and helping widows and protecting people. In chapter 31 he says that he was not lurking at his neighbor’s door hoping to sleep with his wife.
When it says that Noah was righteous it means that he was moral. But his morality included love for those around him. Being faithful to your spouse is righteous. But so is packing lunches for the kids on Friday and Operation Christmas Child.
James 1:27 – Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after.
· Noah Was Above Reproach
· Noah Walked with God
1. Doing the Right Thing Counts
2. Don’t Take Your Morals from the Crowd
Romans 12:2 – Do not conform.
3. Remember that the Choice is Yours
What do you believe? What are your non-negotiables.
Job’s wife said, curse God and die, why are you holding onto your integrity. That’s a sad statement! Job had to know his course and no matter how big the storm or how much he suffered, he knew that he couldn’t and wouldn’t curse God.
You have to know where you stand. It takes a lot of commitment to do the right thing. But in the determination is the blessing.
No one can force you to do what you don’t want to do. You say no! No – I’m not doing it.
Know your beliefs and don’t compromise! Daniel resolved himself not to drink the wine or eat the kings food. He could not be talked out of his stand. He found great success.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were spared in the furnace.
My encouragement. If Noah could live right in his world, so can you!
