Why all the shootings[i] – Columbine, Nickel Mines Village, Clackamas Town Center Mall, Virginia Tech, a movie theater in Colorado and far too many more – why?

Soy Beans, Fish Oil and Obesity
Over the last 100 years dietary patterns in many westernized countries have changed. In the US, there has been a significant shift in the percentages of dietary oils ingested, away from healthy oils to more obesity promoting fats. Historically, the human diet containing no more than 1% of an oil known as linoleic acid (LA), which is an omega 6 fatty acid found in a variety of foods, but is highly concentrated in soy bean oil. Over the past century the US dietary intake of LA has increased from 1% to 8% of daily caloric intake.

Forgiving Self – Why Is It So Hard?
Hello, I am from Malawi but live in the UK. I have been following your class for about a year now. I must say I am impressed with how your ministry has grown… you have taught me how to forgive myself. This has set me free indeed… [but my] question is “Why is it so hard to forgive ourselves?” Can you please help me shed light on this?

What Angels Saw at the Cross
Revelation 12:10-12 says, “Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: ‘Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

Creation, Evolution, and Evidence Based Thinking
As a Christian physician and scientist (one who forms beliefs based upon objective evidence, which is testable and reproducible, while remaining open to modifying those beliefs as more evidence becomes available), I am struck by the level of non-evidence-based thinking and believing rife within both religious and scientific communities.

Women’s Ordination
Recently I was asked to read an article that addressed the issue of ordination of women. The article, while advocating for female pastors, opposed ordination for women as ordination included “church authority” to baptize and establish churches. The author appealed to the example of Lucifer in heaven being jealous of Christ and Korah being jealous of Aaron and neither being content with their position as evidence that God has selected men to be ordained and women should not be jealous of ordination but content with their position.

Retribution or Rehabilitation
As I was reviewing this week’s [bible study] lesson on Final Events, you make the statement in your outline…”When one accepts that God imposes law, then one must conclude that the consequences one experiences for disobedience to God’s law is imposed by God, or that God’s wrath is something that he inflicts to punish for sin.” Since I am developing in law school my views of criminal punishment and civil sanctions, should I relate my view of God into the courtroom?

Effective Communication
Writer Charles Swindoll once found himself with too many commitments in too few days. He got nervous and tense about it. “I was snapping at my wife and our children, choking down my food at mealtimes, and feeling irritated at those unexpected interruptions through the day,” he recalled in his book Stress Fractures. “Before long, things around our home started reflecting the patter of my hurry-up style. It was becoming unbearable.

Salvation & Sanctification
The following is a short exchange with one of our online listeners: Nelson: I just listened to 2012 Q3 Lesson 4 and I’m a little confused about your last statement before the prayer. You mentioned that Peter wasn’t saved until he died to self (I’m paraphrasing). I’ve always thought that salvation comes from accepting (believing) Christ as your Savior (John 3:16) and that sanctification is the process of dying to self and becoming more like Christ. Can you explain to me a little more what salvation is?

Genuine Intimacy – What is it and Can Singles Experience it?

Subpoenaed By God
“You are my witnesses,’ says the Lord…” (Is 43:10) Have you ever thought about being a witness for God? Could God really need human beings to testify about Him? If […]
