Using Cannabis For Medical Purposes

Published: November 24, 2022
Q

I believe that cannabis can be used for medical purposes. My cousin says that this herb came from the devil. I don’t believe Satan can create anything. I think this drug came from God. Medical people are finding ways to use it to help man kind. What is your uptake on this?

In the first 3 chapters of Ephesians Paul’s tone seems much different than in the last three, almost as it was two different messages that were spliced together. Can you explain this?

Where Do We Draw The Line?

Q

In Luke 6:30 the Lord says we should give to everyone that asks us. I consider myself a generous person and have helped out many struggling people through the years, but because of my generosity I have also had some that keep coming back with excuse after excuse and looking for a regular handout. Where do we draw the line? I want to obey the Lord, but I’m not sure getting taken advantage of by people unwilling to provide for themselves was what he had in mind.

Where To Tithe?

Published: November 21, 2022
Q

Our pastor says we required to pay our entire tithe to the local church and then let the leaders decide how to distribute the money. His support for this view was based on what Paul did when he took the money given in Corinth to help the church in Jerusalem. It he correct in this?

My husband went home to be with the Lord.  Do I tithe/give offerings from the insurance money?  I love to give and am a giver, but right now fear has set in with the finances.  Friends of mine state I should tithe.


Afraid Of Dying

Published: November 18, 2022
Q

I’m afraid of dying because I don’t know much about Heaven and I’m afraid of not being good enough to go there. I’m afraid of the doubtful thoughts I’ve been having. The ‘what if there is no Heaven’ thoughts. I pray a lot and read bible verses most days. I grew up Christian and have been saved. It was a wonderful feeling! I guess I’m asking how to ease my mind. Would fellowship strengthen my faith and help me to not feel so fearful?


Afraid Of Dying

Q

I read articles on your website and enjoy them very much. I am a born again Christian. God bless you and all you do. I am a prophecy nut and like to study that a lot. What I see all around me is very scary. I know what’s happening, it just makes me very scared. As Christians, how much of the end times are we going to endure?

Are we going to be martyrs? How bad is it going to get for us? I know I shouldn’t be scared of it because I know and love the lord, but I am really scared of death. Please help me get through this. I can’t turn to my family because they don’t see what I see. They think its way off in the future. I see prophecy happening right before me and I understand it. If you have any help to offer me, I would appreciate it.
