  1. [00:00] - Q: My question is how as followers of Christ are we to equip ourselves and our children (besides prayer) to stand up against evil ideology but particularly LGBTQ agenda in our schools and the "in your face" push throughout media. How do we teach our kids to respond to teachers/peers when confronted with these movements?

  2. [00:00] - Q: Why should I pray for this world if the Bible says that the world is going to get worse?
    A: TBD

  3. [00:00] - Q: There's a lot of dialogue in our country about rights. What rights are actually given to us by God?
    A: See TBD - TBD

  4. [00:00] - Q: In light of many current events, shortages, and inflation, I feel the need to hoard food and necessities. Is it wrong to have an excess of these items in stock. Does that show a lack of faith in God’s provision?

  5. [00:00] - Q: What is a woman?

    A: See Proverbs 31:6 TBD

  9. [00:00] - Q: Psalms are psalmists praises and often supplications, too. They are not necessarily God's promises. How shall we then treat those supplications? For example 1, Ps 6:23a, Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. Is this true for US? For example 2, Ps 90:15, Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble. Does this prayer being included in Bible mean approval of this supplication by God? Can WE make the same supplication?

  12. [00:00] - Q: Are we missing something when it comes to the Sabbath and the value of rest?
