00:00 Jeremiah 29:11 - Is this out of context?
08:42 Is it prohibited (scripturally) for women to practice street preaching?
13:27 Matthew 25:14-30 - Do you see the five talents guy like David, refusing to give to God that which cost him nothing, and the one talent guy like Cain, offering God a couple plums or whatever?
18:06 When we invite Christ into our lives, we are given the Holy Spirit. Why then do we continue to ask God to fill us with the Holy Spirit if we already have received?
22:31 I've been having trouble finding a good church. It seems as though one church has one view of the Bible while the other has a different view about the same verse. How do I know what is the right view?
26:27 I was told in a study that there is no original sin that is passed from Adam and no sin nature, that babies are born pure. They used Ezekiel 18. Is this true?
29:59 Do you think Diotrephes in 3 John was saved?
33:07 Whats going to happen or even replace Erdogan and Putin who are now in serious health condition and may be dying as reports say?
34:34 Does God define man, woman, and eunuch? How does a eunuch potentially differ from a person who is transgender?
42:25 If we are allowed to pray in school then won't that give rise to other false teachings in the church and a false theocracy created by the government?
45:19 David and the five talents guy loved their masters, Cain and the one talent guy did not demonstrate any. This is not what is being taught here?
49:20 Is there anything in scripture that indicates God may purposely leave some true believers in the tribulation period?
50:50 What are the circumstances or in what situation should you leave a church?
54:01 Follow up: It was Ezekiel 18:20.
56:12 I was very sad to hear of Charles Stanley’s passing. I read kind words Skip Heitzig and Charles Swindoll shared about him. I was wondering if he influenced you at all?
57:58 Does gender have a purpose?
59:58 Theres a big move of casting out spirits and and healing the sick. Does the Bible say that we can do this ? Also, Can Christian’s have evil spirits and demons dwelling in them?
