There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word. Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.

Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share a full-length Bible message given through Scott's pulpit ministry. These messages were recorded live in a local church or gospel event in recent days. It is our prayer that the message will be a help to you today.

And they are written for our admonition upon whom the ends of the world are come wherefore

let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

I'd like you take a pen tonight and mark a phrase, if you will, at the end of verse number 11.

It is a phrase that has really just captured my mind the last few days.

I can't get away from it.
