Greetings,
Do you have any insight from the story of Naaman?
I see true baptism, the washing of water by the word, to present us a glorious church without spots and wrinkles.
I also see that we need to wash ourselves seven times in the water, which speaks of the seven steps of salvation dep... [read more]

Did Christ Experience God's Wrath?
[Posted January 15, 2012]
Hey Mike,
I have been wondering awhile how exactly Christ experienced the wrath of God. When did Christ experience suffering for one's own sin (certainly not His?) as opposed to suffering for righteousness? If you have written anythin... [read more]

How the story of Eutychus spiritually applies to us
To the Body,
What do you all make of this spiritually, and how do we apply it to our lives today?
Act 20:9 And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fe... [read more]

Hi, Mike,
After we left the WCG we have listened to and read the writings of many: Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley, RC Sproul, John MacArthur and many more. Not because I believe everything they said but because it tells me what they believe and why, so that I have some idea as to what kind of respo... [read more]

Mike,
I have a question about the application of God's word. My parents were called out of the church many years ago. They have both tasted of God's greatness in their lives, and I do not view what I am going to share with you as anything except being of God. Recently my Dad has been starting back i... [read more]

Hi Mike,
When this is said in The Law of Moses versus the Law of the Spirit...
"Eat meat with those who eat meat, herbs with those who eat herbs. Become "all things to all men that you might by all means save some" (1Co 9:22)."
"... Take heed lest this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock... [read more]

Dear Mike:
Many times at work, after a holiday, I will get asked the following: "Did you have a good Christmas (or Easter, Thanksgiving, etc.)?"
I know that if someone wishes me a happy holiday, I will tell them "Thank you", but what should be my response to this other question? Thank you for your t... [read more]

Hi Mike,
It is interesting how your reply has spoken to other areas of Christ I have been grappling with lately. The way you live your life has no discrepancies between what you teach and the manner in which you edify. I am an immature babe, and I see now that you speak to me and others&... [read more]

Hey Brother Mike,
It's kind of hard to explain my question, so bear with me. I read a preacher saying "Sin and death" invaded nothing. Sin and death are the very meaning of "marred in the Potter's hand." Then another teacher I read says this,
We know from Scripture that God "…creates EVIL&he... [read more]

Hi Mike,
Jesus prayed to the Father "yet not my will but your's be done" and Jesus taught the Lord's prayer in teaching the disciples how to pray "thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven". How does this reconcile with the "counsel after His will"? Does this mean that our temptations are allowed... [read more]

Does Gal 4:10 Contrdict Rom 14 and Col 2?
Mike,
In your answer you replied "the last thing in this world that I want to do is to offend you." I am more than grateful for your time you give me and what you have helped me see. I've been reading the Bible for 10 months... [read more]
