Q: [Dr. Mike] was the earth created in ‘literal’ days: and what about the millennium?
A: [Yes!] Most Bible scholars also believe that at some point Satan inhabited the earth as his dwelling place until God booted him out and put man in his stead, to worship Him. The God man [Adam] was also given the supreme authority to subdue the earth and replenish it. Later, the God man and woman [Eve] committed high treason and gave Satan dominion over the inheritance in which God gave them. We believe Satan’s control over God’s green earth is
WHAT CAN YOU DO WHEN ALL HOPE SEEMS GONE!

What Does “”Be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect,” Mean?

HAVING APOSTLE PAUL’S COMPASSION FOR THE BRETHREN!
When you read Apostle Paul’s letter to the Church at Thessalonica … you come away with the sense that this man truly loved his brethren! He uses the same jargon that Jesus used when He spoke to the Nation of Israel and said, “Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, I wanted to protect YOU, like a mother Hen her young …” Paul treated the Christians of this Church like a caring mother and an encouraging father.

Who decides to “pull the plug” on a terminally ill family member?
Q: You’ve explained to us the Hermeneutics of Isaiah 53:5, and James 5:14: my follow-up question is, in the case of a terminally ill family member, who should decide when to discontinue life-support?” A: Believe it or not, a majority of the time, this weighty decision is left/put into the hands of the neurosurgeon, whose caring for your loved one, because he’s considered the resident expert, in terms of whether or not your loved one is brain-dead.

Why Christians Shouldn’t Celebrate Lent?!
Q: I’ve heard you mentioned across the pulpit and in your seminars, that Christians shouldn’t celebrate ‘LENT,’ because it’s not Biblical. Can you share some of your theological knowledge and a few of you spiritual nuggets on this issue?
