Praises and Prayer Requests for February 2016

February 1st, 2016
Thank you for praying! Here are some specific requests for this month: 1. Please pray for fellow volunteers. Many of you know that Dwight Payne, who was a volunteer with us since April 2009, recently died. Please be praying for his family. Several of our volunteers have had family members pass away in the past few months; please pray for them as they grieve. We've also had volunteers experience loss of employment, health concerns, family health concerns, discouragement, etc. We are not unaware of the enemy's schemes. Pray against spiritual attack . . .

A sampling of testimonials from January 2016

February 1st, 2016
From a site user: "I have been searching through Gotquestions.org for various answers about faith and the Bible for a couple years now. I have found it to be extremely helpful in my walk with Christ. I know your website doesn't replace God's word, but it is a tool He uses to aid in understanding. For the last 25 years I have been dealing with some major depression and anxiety issues. I've even contemplated suicide a few times. In some of my darkest moments I turned to the Bible and your website for answers. I remember one night I was thinking about . . .

Two Sample Q&As from January

February 1st, 2016
Question: Should Christians make as much money as they possibly can in order to give more to God, or make less money, and give more time in ministry to family, church, neighbors, and their community? Answered by: Gregg Bursey, who has been a volunteer with us since January, 2014. Answer: Thank you for this question. The Bible contains stories of many people ranging from very rich to very poor, and both categories of people also have people in them in which God is pleased with. So you yourself can be a billionaire or live purely on assistance . . .

Encouraging Story from a look into Got Questions’ history

February 1st, 2016
Winter can be a dreary time of year, and as February comes some of the excitement of a New Year has worn off and hope can start to dwindle. I thought this little story would be of encouragement: Shea recently stumbled across a newsletter from the fall of 2003, around the time God led Got Questions to move from Kansas City to Colorado Springs. The newsletter reported that in November 2003, the writers at GotQuestions.org answered question number 20,000. Today our question numbers are over 452,000. In October 2003, 9 people indicated they'd accepted . . .

Steven Vovk January 28, 2016 Hey folks I got a tough question asking about how God allows child molestation. Any suggestions? LikeComment Seen by 32 Comments Julie Kimani The first thing that pops into my head is about this being a fallen world.

Laurel J. Davis Janaury 26, 2016 Could use your help with this one I was just assigned.
