Difficult Questions-- Week TWO, Take TWO!

Last week was a lot of fun. Click HERE to read the questions we answered. Click HERE to listen online.

After doing it one week, we are adjusting and making some cool changes for this weekend. We are thrilled with the participation that we have had. We have received over 50 awesome questions. However, with so many questions, we have had to adjust our approach a tad. You will have to come see what we are up to. I'll give you a hint: BUZZER! Come this week and watch us answer twice as many questions in half as much time.

Here is a preview of the questions that Pastor Nelson and I will be addressing this Sunday:

  • How do you restore trust in your marriage after your spouse betrays your trust through an affair?
  • When are divorce and remarriage okay & when it is considered adultery?
  • Gay Marriage: I personally strongly disagree with homosexual marriage. But do I have a right to force that belief on someone else?
  • What does the bible say on homosexuality?”
  • Why is it wrong for unmarried people to live together? I see nothing in the Bible about living together.
  • Is it wrong to use the morning-after pill as a contraceptive?
  • Should I allow my children to read Harry Potter?
  • If God is no respecter of persons, why are Pastors called by a title and put on a higher level
  • How much is education/degree a factor in the Pastoral role in the church?
  • How do you know when your child is old enough to accept Christ?
  • Even though the Bible says honor your parents, should someone continue to honor an abusive parent?
  • Can we invite or allow more of the Holy Spirit into our Worship Services?
  • Why does CCF seem to follow the same pattern for Sunday services? Can we change it around every once in a while?
See you Sunday at 10:30am!!!

I didn't know if you were going to to hit on 1 Cor 6:9-11 in your talk this Sunday. But if so, I couldn't help but share something that caught my mind when I dug deeper in this passage.

Paul, being Paul, chooses is words with great care. In this passage the words he choose didn't speak of people's actions, but instead with the people's identity. The beginning of verse 11 is the hinge point. 9 & 10 give a long list of identities, then verse 11 says: "And that is what some of you were." (1 Cor 6:11a NIV) The remainder of 11 talks about their new identity. The whole is like "you were once identified by your sins, now your identity is in Christ" (implied go and sin no more). Gotta love Paul.
