Pity The Man

PITY THE MAN--JOB 19:16-21

INTRODUCTION; This message came from the song "pity the man" In the eyes of those who did not understand Job, he was a man who surely deserved to be pitied.

HE SUFFERED:

1-mentally

2-physicially

3-spiritally

When you see what this man possessed and what he lost,and where he is at, we are moved with compassion for him--cannot have the love of God dwelling in you if you don't feel for him.

HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE I PITY::

I-I PITY THE PERSON THAT HAS PROFESSION--BUT NOT

POSSESSION.

1-Matthew 7:20-this whole chapter is about those who

talk, but do not walk the walk.

2-verse 1-2--judge another but not self

for you\

COMPROMISED
