Q. I have a question regarding “orbs.”  And also, if you have time, gold dust, jewels, gold teeth, etc….  For the first question, in photographs, you can sometimes see round orbs.  Sometimes a photo is saturated and sometimes just one or two.  They appear lacy, and bubbly on the interior of the orb, and sometimes colorful.  Some in the Church appear to believe these are angelic beings.  On the other hand, many in the Occult believe them to be spirit beings of individuals whom have died (obviously this is untrue).  What is your take on this?  I have found that orbs are believed to be angelic beings by those also believing in gold dust, jewels appearing, and gold teeth during times of “worship.”   (Although that would be a generalization, so forgive me for that) What can you teach on the validity of all these matters?

Q. I live in South Africa.  I enjoy your teachings and am a regular reader and pupil learning, checking, comparing etc.  My pastor announced this week that he was invited to the Congo, to do some teachings there, and it will be for some time.  We agreed some time ago that if God sends you, God will provide everything, and there should not be any problems.  He told us previously that How God had provided miraculously and witnessed about it.  During the service he said that if anybody feels led to contribute towards his trip, they should come and speak to Him after the sermon.

Q. Over the years I’ve experienced some life disappointments, and because of this my mind has been plagued with doubts.  So, I’ve been searching the New Testament to try to see what I need to do for the Lord to make Himself real to me.  I have a Jewish Christian friend who feels convinced that the Jewish Law is to be obeyed for Sanctification and Maturing.

Q. I’ve been reading your blog for a year and enjoy it much. I would be interested in your opinion of house churches. I read  (popular books on home churches)  and feel that the Holy Spirit is telling me that what I’m reading is good and true.

Q. I have a question I’ve wondered about for a number of years. I have been an intercessor and have always considered it a calling of the Lord to pray in  intercession for others.  I understood early on in my Christian walk the importance of prayer and have seen a great many of those prayers answered.  To God goes the glory for those answered prayers. I seem to know things about a person when I pray for them  that I had not known before and I am sure the Holy Spirit gives me what to pray at those times. Is this a calling from the Lord or a gift of the Holy Spirit or both?

Q. What is your description of a pastor?  How involved in someone’s life do you think a pastor should be?  At what point does it interfere with that person’s own responsibility to seek out God’s voice for themselves and become something more like an oracle sought at every decision made?

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.
