Q. In several lessons you have referred to a “Christian world view.” I’m don’t understand the concept as you use it. If you have written a lesson that explains the concept, please direct me to it. If there is no lesson that specifically defines, explains, and provides instructions for achieving it, I would greatly appreciate that information.

Q. People are accepting Jesus, both Jew & gentile without obedience to a law that was done away with. I have a hard time with the law being reestablished again, when It was no longer needed for anything. Every time someone reads it a veil goes over their eyes.
Now I realize I don’t know it all but explain this to me. Why would God do away with the Law and turn us to grace as the only possible way to be saved, without any type of performance and then cast that aside and start over with law again and obedience to it and to Jesus?

Q. When a baby stares fixedly at a corner of the room, my mother-in-law always said a tiny infant was looking at his Guardian Angel, whom he could see clearly. Who knows? Wasn’t Elijah’s servant allowed to see the Host of Heaven arrayed for battle?
Of late, and when I remember to do it, I have taken to asking God to send an angel to watch over me when I find I am being distracted in prayer or reading scripture. It seems to work. Placebo effect?
Do all Christians, even adults, have a Guardian Angel? What does scripture say about it? I need all the help I can get.

Q. I am female, 71, a Christian since I was ten years old. What I have never understood is:
I never asked to be born, I wish I hadn’t been born—having suffered from depression all my life—how can God condemn me or someone like me to hell. I don’t want to live—-I didn’t want to be born– yet here I am living and if I wasn’t a Christian would be condemned to hell.

Q. Sometimes I think my brain works too much, but here’s my question. Satan rebelled against God. A group of angels decided to go along with him. Apparently angels have free will. Adam and Eve were created and told not to eat “the apple.” Apparently Adam and Eve had free will and they decided to go against what God said and chose to eat of the forbidden fruit. Sin entered the world. Now when everything is said and done at the end of days…Satan has been destroyed and God is living with his people for eternity…what about free will? If we continue to have free will, can’t the whole thing start all over again? Apparently it would just take one “bad apple” to spoil the whole bunch.

Q. I use many of your topical studies for lessons at one of our state prisons. Right now, I am taking them through the topic study “OSAS The Whole Story”. I understand that all gifts are free, unearned and cannot be lost. Can I then assume that all prizes, crowns, and rewards are subject to “testing by fire”, as found in 1st Corinthians 3:13-15? Also, are Fellowship and Relationship the same or different?
Your lessons are a God send to my Ministry. I praise God for sending you to help the many folks that seek your help.

Q. I have a question about giving. A couple years ago, my wife and I prayed about an opportunity that would enable us to give more to the Lord. We looked into a small business opportunity that she could run while I maintained my full time job. We prayed about this endeavor and felt the green light to move forward. This was two years ago. Since that time, we haven’t made any money in the business.

Q. I love reading your website. It’s helped me understand a lot about Bible prophecy. May the Lord continue to bless you in your work and life.
I’d like your advice on an issue I’m facing. For most of my life I was involved with occult practices like tarot card reading and spell casting. As a nominal Christian at the time, I saw nothing wrong with this behavior.

Q. My question is if you are a real born again believer and are in a back slidden state, will you go in the rapture, is your salvation secure, and do you have the spiritual authority to do spiritual warfare against the enemy and demons in particular if you are back slidden? My 20 year old daughter who is on fire for the Lord is constantly questioning my salvation because of the situation I am in and just doesn’t understand why I can’t get out of it “If I love the Lord and have faith in him”.
