Christmas & The Christian

Competitive Sports – Spiritually Healthy or Not?
I would like Dr J to discuss competitive sports and whether this is healthy for psychological/spiritual growth.

Lazarus, Miracles and Faith What is the Connection?
In John 11, we read the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead. Mary, Martha and the disciples didn’t believe that God could raise him up.

God’s Will Be Done – How Do We Relate?
I would like to know your thoughts in James 4:13-15. To me it seems superstitious when Christians qualify every day, ordinary appointments with a “God willing” or “God spares life.”

If there are pathways in our nervous system laid down with addiction, are they destroyed at conversion. or as we walk on a daily basis with CHRIST, or are they always there? In other word once an addict always an addict?

Circumcision & Feast Days Should We Do It Today?
“As Adventists, our principle is that we base our doctrine on God’s Word and not human opinion or human authority – right? Some would say we keep the Sabbath because God commanded it and never withdrew that command. That is only reasonable if we are consistent in applying the criterion. Yet we have dropped many others of God’s statutes without His say-so!

Why is Jesus Death Necessary for God to Heal Me?
