I found much insight in your series Healing The Mind on Forest Lake Church’s website and recently discovered your website. In one of your podcasts there was mention of a connection between stress during pregnancy and a child’s wellbeing.

Earth: The Home of the Righteous
Can you please prove to me where people will live when Jesus comes, will it be here on earth or in heaven? I don’t know if I can “prove” it, but I will walk through the evidence of Scripture as I understand it.

Thankfulness and Your Health
Happy Thanksgiving! Here in the U.S. we celebrate our annual Thanksgiving holiday on the 4th Thursday of November. Thanksgiving is a traditional harvest festival, which has its American roots in Plymouth Massachusetts, when the Pilgrims and local native Indians gave thanks in 1621.

Christmas & The Christian
Since the season is fast approaching I was wondering if you could give some insights on the topic of Christians and Christmas. I have heard arguments on both sides, and both seem convincing. Those who are against it point to the pagan roots of Christmas, and those who are for it point to the benefits of Christmas in reaching souls for Christ. So how does one find balance?

Competitive Sports – Spiritually Healthy or Not?
I would like Dr J to discuss competitive sports and whether this is healthy for psychological/spiritual growth. The more I learn about the two conflicting powers (selfless love vs. survival of the fittest) seems competitive sports would not be spiritually healthy. Seems like winning would tempt one to be proud while losing would be damaging to self esteem.

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. Even when Jesus asked them to open the grave, they said “but lord he stinketh, he has been dead four days”. Jesus raised him from the dead in spite of their unbelief.

The Wedding Ring: To Wear or Not To Wear

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.”

Addictions – Does Conversion Heal the Brain?
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!

Does Sexual Arousal Outside Marriage Damage the Brain?
Recently, at our church, we were blessed with a lecture on 12 things that can damage the frontal lobe of the brain. These, according to the presenter, include lack of water, a raised CO2 level, poor blood flow, etc… The one that got me thinking was about sexual arousal outside of marriage as a “hit” on the frontal lobe.
