Segment 1

New math?

If the world (earth) was good in the beginning, when was Satan introduced to it? Was he here before us? Why is he here and why does God allow him to tempt us? -Anonymous

What ARE all the commandments that we as Christians should be obeying if we are to be truly saved? If I’ve been messing up as a Christian I WANT TO make sure I start obeying ALL of God’s commandments. -Peggy

Segment 2

Wondering what to do in sharing with my dad on the sufficiency of Scripture. Though he claims to be a believer he doubts its sufficiency because it was written by men. I have shared with him the passages like 1 Tim. 3:16 and others, but he basically wants a resource outside of the Bible to claim that the Bible is true. -Brandon

Segment 3

Is it a sin to open a coffee shop inside of a church? -Anonymous

I’m at a loss with my 19-year-old son! He’s always been very structured, with the motto “I date for marriage, not for fun!” But now in college, he’s thrown that out the window, lost his virginity, and is obsessed with his girlfriend. We’ve talked to him, but everything goes in one ear and out the other. I kinda just want to punch him in the forehead! Any suggestions? -Aliah

Segment 4

I’m struggling with a church decision to grant our senior pastor a summer sabbatical. The plans involve mostly traveling out of the USA and around the USA, with some time for hobbies and family. Please note that this pastor makes significantly over $100K a year and has a generous vacation plan in a church of only 250 people. I was taught that a sabbatical is a rest from regular work, used to study and grow, and that one should come back with a new perspective or a book they’ve written. I’m not okay with vacationing being the dominant part of the time off. Maybe I have the definition wrong. -Richard
