“ A teacher is faithful with whole Word of God ” Unofficial Brief! ¶ James 1:22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves. ¶ Both are actions and our words are important. In Chap. 3, James looks at the importance of words, not only do works prove your faith or the lack of it but also the use of your tongue. ¶ Mat. 12:33 "Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. 36 I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." ¶ Dr. Rugh used examples from Proverbs before continuing with James 3. Remember, don't many of you become teachers! There are too many men preaching, as Dr. Rugh's mother pointed out and Gil has discouraged men from going into the ministry. Teachers will have a stricter judgment than those who aren't teachers. The gift of teaching is not a cause of pride but fear. Characteristics of a teacher, he must know, live, and teach the truth. It is blessing for men who are careful with the Word. A teacher must have a life that shows he's Godly.

“ Great Sermon! -- on topic ” Very quick service! The person who was taking care of the sermon uploads at this time may have had quite a busy time, and that is why the sermon before this one was repeated twice. Also you got a bonus comment on Parenting from me on that topic ;-) ¶ Just from the beginning of the sermon, it looks like a great one for you folks to comment on, and I might get in a comment also.

“ Husbands are to manage their households well ” Unofficial brief! ¶ Men and women will be married and have children, is the rule rather than the exception. God is sovereign over all these details in our lives! The most important relationship is the husband & wife and when they are Godly then the home and children will be pleasing to God. ¶ Genesis 2:23 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,' because she was taken out of Man." 24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh. ¶ This is the most important human relationship that there is! This relationship supercedes everything else except one's relationship to God. ¶ Parents deal with children as one. They present a united front to their children and the children are to be obedient to their children. Men are responsible for the condition of the home. Men raise their children by the Word by speech and action. Its one's modeling the Word, by his treatment of his wife and his wife's willing obedience to him. You can't be, "losing it," when parents are under pressure. Every aspect of the home is governed by the Word of God. The general truth: ¶ Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
In the fall of 1969, Gil began a full-time teaching ministry as Senior Pastor of Indian Hills Community Church. He also earned his Ph.D. from the California Graduate School of Theology. The focus of Pastor Rugh’s ministry is systematic, verse-by-verse teaching of the Bible. As a...
