Should Christians Study Extra Biblical Books? Aug 22, 2024

Show notes

Full Question: A friend of mine went out with a guy who believes that books like the book of Enoch and the suffering of Moses should be read along with the scripture and thus be treated as inerrant. Is this a new thing or have people always tried to include these books in scripture? Obviously in Catholicism they add books to the bible, so I’m guessing this is a similar situation. I’ve heard the teaching that Jude quotes the book of Enoch in his letter. So, should Christians study extra Biblical books?

What Are Your Thoughts on AI as a Christian? Aug 15, 2024

Show notes

Full Question: Michael, thanks for doing everything you do. Was curious to get your thoughts on AI. I’ve used Chat GPT and it’s almost like having a smart personal assistant. It’s also terrifying. I also see trailers for movies about robots taking over the world and it’s like... the warning signs are there - what are we thinking by moving forward even more so with this?! To give an inanimate object sentient. Is it un-similar to the Tower of Babel? We’re playing God, right?

Can Satan and The Demonic Forces Read Our Minds? Aug 08, 2024

Show notes

Full question: Can Satan and the demonic forces read our minds/hear our thoughts or are they limited to what we speak and do? I cannot find definitive evidence one way or the other in the Bible... So naturally I’ve heard teaching in churches leaning on both sides.

Will We Have Free Will in Heaven? Aug 01, 2024

Show notes

Full Question: I have always understood that, since God loves us, He gives us free will to choose Him or not choose Him. For those of us that go to heaven, will we still have free will there? If yes, what happens if, over trillions of years, someone decides to reject Him? If not, what is the nature of God in heaven?

What is a Biblical Revival? Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

Full Question: Can you discuss the revival issue? I’ve just seen it happening even in the small town I live in, to kids I know and love, and I have no clue how to approach it (and them) with love. Ultimately, Biblical revival is shown over time by the fruit it bears (if any), yet this generation seems obsessed with pop culture/IG/Tik Tok ‘theology’ and it worries me as I approach my own context of ministry.

Do You Go To Heaven After You Die? Jul 11, 2024

Show notes

Full Question: Do you believe you go to heaven after you die? I’m just curious. I noticed you have been using “new heaven and new Earth” and such and I was just curious if you believe you go to heaven right after you die.

Does The Bible Affirm The Existence of Ghosts? Jul 04, 2024

Show notes

Full Question: My question is about ghosts. In Luke 24, Jesus says he is not a ghost because ghosts (or spirits) do not have flesh and bones. I wondered what or who the ghosts are that Jesus is referencing? I have respected Christian friends who believe that they’ve seen ghosts of their loved ones. I’ve heard others who say these encounters are all demonic or imaginary. It seems Jesus acknowledges that there are ghosts/spirits in this passage. What are your thoughts on this topic?

Do We All Worship The Same God? Jun 27, 2024

Show notes

Full Question: Do Jews, Muslims, and Christians all worship the same God?” It is challenging for me to understand the answer to this topic, especially when we talk about the definition and nature of God - believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God who is eternal with God and IS God (but Muslims and Jews do not believe the same). So, how could we all worship the same God if we do not believe the same nature and definition of who and what God is?
