Hi Pastor David! Thank you for your ministry-I’m a listener from the Philippines and have been blessed by your show. I was deeply involved in a cult for several years, but by God’s grace, I’ve left it behind. For the past year, I’ve been attending both Evangelical and sometimes Catholic services. While I feel grateful to be growing in my faith again, I haven’t felt ready to commit to a small group, and I wonder if that’s a sign of something I’m doing wrong or just a part of my journey. I’d love your thoughts on this. Thank you, and God bless you!
I love dogs, but I use the word dog in a derogatory way sometimes too...like referring to a womanizer, for instance. A dog acting like a dog is fine, a person acting like a dog.....not so much. Most of the references to dogs in the Bible are used in this way, to refer to badly behaved humans. The idea that it was an insult to dogs has never even crossed my mind.
It shows you are a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ Being led by the Spirit of God All other things are in their rightful place - the same place The Apostle Paul placed them
Revelation 22:18-19 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Hi Pastor. Salvation only comes from accepting Jesus as Lord and savior. How about babies and children who pass away young ? Like eg a 1 year old with cancer ?
Pastor Lance replies - A child under the age of accountability is unable to grasp the meaning of the Gospel. God is merciful. We trust that His mercy and grace cover those unable to respond in faith to the Gospel.
Hi Pastor David. I am so sorry for writing this comment on an unrelated video, but I just can't wait to hear your take on Christianity and Politics. I am assuming that a majority of Christians, voted for Trump, despite the record of the man. On the other hand, Christians who voted for Harris have been often labeled as those whom the Bible labels as "deceived" or do not hold onto their faith. Which Christian group of either party has the right to claim Christianity?. I am 100% in support of Christianity inclusion in the Republican political ideology. And would have proudly voted for a morally sound Republican elect as this would be about the party's policy. However, I chose Democratic because the other candidate engages in public moral misconduct, and yet true believers disregard his actions, for the benefit of the idea of the Republican Party being a home for the Christian faith. Did not God give man FREE will. Is it only Christians who have the right to existence?. I DO NOT affirm any of the ungodly practices infused into the Democratic party, but I acknowledge their existence. If the church imposes its principles through the help of the state, what then about the nonbelievers, legitimate nationals of the country. I believe, the oval office is to shepherd every citizen despite their spiritual alignment while the church is to shepherd Christ's followers. I won't affirm active and open immorality in the house of God, but acknowledge that immorality does exist, and would invite the sinners on a walk to repentance because the church is for the followers of christ. I won't affirm immorality in the country but acknowledge that the country is not only for Christians. Please debunk the whole idea of Christian Nationalism, Human rights, and the either separation or union of Church and State. Thanks in advance 🙏
I have a gay friend who is a Christian. She doesn't believe it's a sin. Should I go to activities where shes involved or not because the bible says have nothing to do with fruits of darkness
I would not expect all of her activities or sinful let’s say she had decided to go out to dinner and invited you. I think generally you can go after all Jesus are with the sinners and he was ministering to them at the same time sure that you provide some activity with her shows, you accept her as a person and love her asJesus does, but do not endorse her sin, there’s a big difference.😅
Enduring Word Team: There are many born again Christian brothers and sisters who, for whatever reason, have not been able to overcome their same sex attraction. It is not necessarily the direction of their lust that is (per se) the sin (as lust is something not often chosen or voluntary, but is seemingly inherent), but it is instead the thoughts and actions that a person takes in PURSUIT of that lust which puts them at odds with God's plan and ideal, and places them in defiance of God's direction and His word. If your friend is in a same sex relationship, is attempting to pursue gay relationships, or participates in the "gay culture" or lifestyle, then you should not engage with them any more than to witness to them about what the Bible actually says and teaches. Although if they are same sex attracted, but do NOT do those things, and are instead chaste and pure, then there may be a way to remain friends and together in Christ, helping each other.

Can you please respond to this question: If satan cannot read our minds is it best to pray to God with sincere prayers for a situation and not out loud where satan could hear and use those prayers to work against us?
Pastor Lance replies - Don't worry about the mechanics of prayer. God is so far superior to satan that there really isn't any contest when to comes to power or wisdom. Maybe the devil can hear our prayers, but what is accomplished in prayer is sure to defeat him.
Dogs may not have been the beloved pets then that they are today, except maybe in places like Egypt. But they are part of creation and are part of what Paul referred to in Romans 8 as creation subjected to futility and awaiting release from the bondage of decay (death) when we (man) are brought into the glory with Christ. All creation is less than it was created to be because of the fall and curse. But it will all be brought back to what creation was meant to be when Jesus makes all things new. It's then that we will see the picture painted in Isaiah 11 of how creation was meant to be.
Pastor Lance replies - Both of these passages are poetic imagery of the time that God revealed Himself to Israel during the Exodus at Mt Sinai. Paran is another name for the mountainous area that includes Mt Sinai.

@@juliegregory1960 absolutely not. Don’t condone her sinful nature. Also, she can’t be saved and gay.

If you pray God's will be done no matter what, say it out loud.

Hi Ps David, can you explain the places mentioned in Dt 33:2 and Hab 3:2, where the Lord comes from? Gby and thanks.

thank you Gby
