00:00 The Bride of Christ
04:12 Your bride “took” your name and received keys to your kingdom, yes? Why would Jesus giving His bride kingdom keys or us “taking” God's name mean something different today?
05:40 If Heaven is perfect and its God's dwelling place, how is it possible for Satan to still go back and forth to Heaven?
08:14 Can we make this really simple, once saved, always saved?
11:45 Why did David mourn Saul's death?
14:07 Is there a reason why God waited to create Eve and not just create female along with the other life forms?
15:44 If you did not want your bride to “take” your name in vain, would you want her to be a faithful wife or avoid saying “Son of a Robert?”
17:33 If the church is Christ’s bride, who is the Father's bride and the Holy Spirit’s bride?
21:23 Do you see a distinction between fairness and justice or are they the same?
24:43 1 Chronicles 21:16 - David sees the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven. Was this literal or just a vision?
27:53 In Matthew 20:1-16, the landowner pays all the workers equally even though they worked different amounts of time. It seems to me that the issue of fair can become a stumbling point for many.
29:52 If you sinned and asked forgiveness from Jesus wholeheartedly. Are you forgiven if that sin is not known to the person whom you need to ask forgiveness?
33:36 I have a fiancé who is not Christian. She said she is willing to go to church and learn on it. On your advice is it best to stay with her or best to depart from it?
40:50 How can we witness to Jehovah Witnesses who become hostile and unwilling to have a scriptural honest discussion about who Jesus really is according to God's Word?
42:35 What does Paul mean in 1 Corinthians 7:29?
48:50 What does the Bible say about tattoos?
51:10 2 Samuel 1:18 - Is the book of Jasher available for us to read?
52:39 Can you talk about the bad-footed guy and David?
56:18 I struggle to know what God's will is for me and what my roll is as a single woman (a gift of singleness) in the unity of the church?
59:41 I think the workers in the vineyard are us, some come to Christ early in life and some come later in life, but we all have the same reward, Salvation. Thoughts?
