  1. @ 24:20 – What is the difference between mercy and grace?
  2. @ 28:02 – Why doesn’t our church teach that women should wear head coverings while praying? And if women aren’t supposed to wear men’s clothes and men aren’t supposed to wear women’s, why does our church allow women to wear pants? And if it’s ok for women to wear pants, does that mean it’s ok for men to wear dresses? Is it just about the intent of the heart? How can we tell the difference between a cultural teaching in the Bible and something we should still adhere to today? Scripture references 1 Cor 11:5 & Deut 22:5.
  3. @ 34:43 – When I read Matthew 15:24 it draws me up short. If God is unchanging then how did it come to be that He changed His mind? And why would He try to turn the woman away at first if He is merciful?
  4. @ 41:00 – How is my wife supposed to relate to an acquaintance who claims to be a Christian and saved and has gone thru a divorce for personal reasons and seems to think it’s not that big a deal? How can she be loving as well as pointing this out?
  5. @ 48:03 – Since we humans are imperfect, and our judgements therefore also imperfect, how should a judge presiding over a trial address the issue of grace? Is it possible to even consider grace in a legal proceeding without also imperfectly applying it? In our personal affairs, we tend to not forgive unless we feel the offender is remorseful and asks for forgiveness, otherwise no way. How do we balance judgement and grace in our daily lives?

  1. @ 17:09 – I’ve heard bible commentary (most recently from Spurgeon) who says our feelings aren’t important. I was on fire for Jesus when I was first saved. Lately, I’ve felt nothing, but still go through the motions, hoping those feelings will come back and feeling full of shame. How do belief (ie. believing in our hearts ) and feelings intersect?
  2. @ 28:11 – Is it OK for Christians to dance?
  3. @ 31:33 – The bible clearly condemns homosexuality, Old and New testament. However, some who practice religion feel their lifestyle is ok and feel God will accept this and they will enter into eternal life.
  4. @ 36:52 – Did Jesus go to hell and there He defeated satan? Also, what did Jesus do for the 3 days before He was resurrected?
  5. @ 40:39 – Why does our Church not have members? Other Churches I attended we did have members. That way we were able to express and vote on various issues.
  6. @ 46:39 – Deuteronomy 1 gives us a guideline for selecting leaders, how do we support leadership that doesn’t fit those guidelines. It seems this president isn’t necessarily a godly man but does support some biblical values.
  7. @ 57:10 – Last night on Christian Tv Pastor Joseph Prince discussed taking communion. He said that we should take communion on a daily basis at our homes or how many times you want to using whatever elements we want to. He also said that there will be healings for you if you do this. And he gave specific examples of people being healed this way. Your comments please.
  8. @ 1:03:17 – Pastor Miles mentioned the Crown Of Life. Will all Believers get one OR is there certain criteria in suffering one has to meet?
  9. @ 1:05:18 – I’ve been worrying about money lately, so much so that it’s impacting my relationship with God. And I’m constantly worrying about all the other “cares of this world.” If Matthew 13:12 talks about the cares of this world choked out the work of God’s word in the lives of some, am I in danger of losing my security and salvation?

  1. @ 20:29 – How do I know what counsel is the best when I am hearing very different things from people I trust?
  2. @ 28:50 – The “son of man” is referred to in the Bible over and over. I was just reading Matthew 12:32. Who is the son of man referred to there, in Ezekiel, etc?
  3. @ 32:37 – There is a lot of talk in the Bible about the sabbath, keeping it holy. I’ve heard Rick Warren say we need to still keep the sabbath (paraphrased) but have never it said at our church. Why or why not should we “keep the sabbath”. If we should, what does that look like?
  4. @ 40:23 – What do you think of pastors on the Christian TV stations are Into deciphering codes in the Bible? Like numbers for prophecies.
  5. @ 48:16 – What does it mean that Jesus is “seated at the right hand of the Father”. Not being funny but it sounds like He doesn’t move from that position.
  6. @ 50:30 – Would this be a right thing to say. Pastor Ed Young said. “We are as righteous as God.”
  7. @ 53:02 – Matthew 12:36 says that we will have to give an account for every careless word we say. I’ve read in other versions that “careless” can be translated as “idle”. J Vernon McGee says that it can translated as”blasphemy”. I’m not sure whether this is about all the thoughtless and careless things we say to people or if it means turning away from God. I worry that I’m going to be held accountable for every time I trusted in the wrong things and people rather than trusting in Him OR every time I said something thoughtless. Can you help me to understand this?
  8. 1:01:30 – Please SIMPLY what is the beliefs of the Calvary Chapel Global Network as compared to Calvary Chapel Association.? Why did Pastor Guzik leave the Association?

  1. @ 23:56 – What is the biblical purpose of the church? I’ve heard 2 contrasting mindsets: 1)”church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum of saints” versus a different mindset, 2) “church is the gathering of wheat, not the tares” or other similar analogies e.g. the church is Christ’s “bride”. Which mindset is correct?
  2. @ 28:32 – Leviticus 19:28 tells us not to cut our skin or have tattoos. But at Cross Connection and other churches some have tattoos. Is this ok? Or are these members disobeying the word of God.
  3. @ 35:48 – How do you discern between God’s purpose for you and your own bucket list?
  4. @ 43:21 – If I am a single woman, be it unmarried, widowed, or divorced- can I also look to Isaiah 54 for the comfort that the Lord, Himself is my husband? Or is it speaking ONLY to Israel?
  5. @ 45:34 – Why and when did humans stop living as long as people did in Moses’ day?
  6. @ 50:43 – The passage read from in Hebrews 3 on Sunday seems to say you could lose your salvation, if you harden your heart. Is that the right way to read that?
  7. @ 51:45 – You mentioned Chuck Smith and Calvary Chapel. Do you know about the split in Calvary Chapel, and what do you think about it.
  8. @ 56:15 – Is it ok to listen to non-Christian music, like U2, which you talked about listening to on Sunday?
