Scripture – June 2015

June 2nd, 2015
"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything . . .

Sample Q&A – May 2015

June 2nd, 2015

June 1st, 2015
Ed Chait May 29 at 10:37pm · Edited I would appreciate some help with this follow-up question. He and his partner are not married but have been together for 7 years and have a child. I don't know if he is thinking about 2CO 6:14, but that's what comes to my mind as his reason for not marrying his girlfriend. His initial question was about how to balance daily work and Christian ministry, so he seems to have the desire to live the Christian life. I did impress upon him the importance of honoring God and His ...Word by . . .

Question on Elijah, Enoch, and glorified bodies

June 1st, 2015
In Matthew 27:53 it says some saints were raised from the dead after Jesus’ resurrection. Did these saints receive glorified bodies and ascend to heaven or did they just die again like Lazarus?
