Sample Q&A from July 2015

August 3rd, 2015
Question:What do we learn from Zacchaeus the tax collector? Answered by: Polly Gwinn, who has been a volunteer with us since October 2004. Answer: Zacchaeus taught me that Jesus chose me (John 15:16) and came to seek me so that I might be saved (Luke 19:10). If I seek God with all my heart I will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13) but I must come to Jesus like a child, humble and not thinking myself great (Matthew 18:2-4). The sycamore tree is a symbol of that place in our lives where and when we have a clear vision of Jesus. I call this the recognition . . .

Question on the Holy Spirit forgiving sins

July 21st, 2015
James Toland July 20, 2015 · Hudsonville, MI Question I just received "Jesus has forgiven sins on earth. Can the Holy Spirit specifically forgive sins? How?" The first part I assume is "yes" as Jesus could forgive sins because He was God and since the Holy Spirit is also God He could too. It's the "How" I am unsure of as I don't recall scripture discussing this. Thoughts? Like   Comment Seen by 22 Ed Chait and Erik van Geel like this. Kris Cadogan Initial thoughts: . . .

Wendyl Leslie July 7 at 2:46pm What are your thoughts on the following question I've just been assigned: "Should I be working for a company that supports LGBT? Or a company that supports anything that opposes God’s word?" Thanks much! Like · Comment Seen by 57 Ed Chait likes this. Jeff Laird Not to be trite, but 1 Corinthians 5:10 comes to mind. There are almost no companies on earth that are morally, doctrinally perfect. Of course, each person has to decide . . .

Thoughts on why Jesus healed one blind man in two stages

July 6th, 2015
Ed Chait July 3 at 4:05pm This is something I've wondered about. We are not told, but why do you think Jesus healed this blind man in two stages instead of instantly? (Mark 8:22-25) And they came to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, "Do you see anything?" And he looked up and said, "I see people, but they look like trees, walking." . . .
