Unfortunately, the answer is the world's perspective because that is easier then searching the Bible to determine what God says about it. Deacon Pedro Santos, a faithful partner of Keeping Our Lights Lit Ministry joins the conversation as he and Elder Hopkins discuss some, but not all things concerning the matter.  Email your questions, feedback, topic suggestions, and guest request to: [email protected] We look forward to hearing from you!

This is a listeners choice episode. In this episode Elder Lorraine Hopkins talks about the differences between forgiveness and repentance as well as the significance of both within the Christian faith.

As believers we have an opportunity to share the word of God with others to help them know and understand the God, we both love and serve. We share God's word as a means of providing comfort, guidance, and advice. This is a great responsibility. A responsibility that requires us to ensure we are sharing the word in its proper context and accurately. If we fail to do so, we risk turning souls away from Christ. 

What if I told you that some of the most popular sayings and phrases attributed to the Bible, are not actually Biblical. What if I told you that many of the things used to comfort us aren't accurate? In this episode we explore some of those popular phrases given to us that are not in the Bible. I challenge you to do your research. Provide me feedback. If you can provide me with scripture to correct any of my research, please do. Let's explore these phrases together and grow in the way of the Lord.
