Introduction
According to the Sword of the Lord Ministries,
“Things That Are Different Are Not the Same” is the sermon which Dr. [Curtis] Hutson preached Monday evening, October 3, 1994, at the Southwide Baptist Fellowship meeting, Northside Baptist Church, Charlotte, North Carolina.”
On the same web page for the Sword of the Lord, the following summary of this sermon is given.
“The Apostle Paul wrote from his death cell his second letter and farewell to Timothy, stressing the importance of faithfulness to our Lord Jesus Christ. He encouraged Timothy to teach the SAME doctrines that Paul had taught him. Paul was faithful to the fight, faithful to the finish and faithful to the Faith. Like Timothy, these letters are for us to follow also; and like Timothy, we must remember that things that are different are not the same.” (Curtis, Hutson. “Things That Are Different Are Not the Same.” Sword of the Lord Ministries, [pamphlet available for $1.00 at] www.swordbooks.com/thingsthataredifferent.aspx.)
