Defining
Bible Words:
What is your
method for
finding
definitions
of biblical
words? For
example, the
difference
between
"accursed"
and "cursed"
and the
difference
between
"lucre" and
"money". I
have a
Strong's
concordance
and also
Webster's
1828. I
don't think
that going
back to the
original
Hebrew and
Greek is
necessary. I
know that
the English
of the KJV
is correct;
but,
sometimes,
isn't
getting to
the "root"
of the word
necessary?

What Does
the Bible
Say About
Dreams:
This answer
focuses on
the Biblical
foundation
for the
definition
of a dream,
the cause of
a dream, the
reality of
dreams, some
common
purposes for
dreams and
the
connection
or lack of
connection
between
dreams in
the Bible
and dreams
today.

Studying the
Bible:
Some of the
great
characteristics
of the Bible
are its
complexity,
depth, and
sheer
volume. God
did not send
just a
little
information,
but He sent
us
everything
He wanted us
to have in
this life to
learn about
Him, His
love for us,
His
provision of
salvation,
and how to
live life
victoriously
through Him.
The Bible
isn�t a book
that you can
read through
once and set
aside
saying,
�That�s
done.� This
question and
answer is
written to
encourage
you with a
few thoughts
on why Bible
study is
profitable,
how to
begin, and
what you can
do when
questions
arise.

Is Birth
Control a
Sin:
Is it a sin
to use birth

Christians
and Santa
Claus -
Colossians
2:8:
Many
believers
could be
greatly
offended
that we
would even
deal with
the issue of
Santa Claus.
�It is
innocent,�
you can hear
them say.
Yet a
careful look
into the
scriptures
would deny
that this
lie is
anywhere
near
innocent. Audio Sermon

Mammon of
Unrighteousness:
In Luke 16
1-12 I don't

master

unjust
steward for
being a

explain.

John 6:1-15:
In this
miracle,
Jesus shows
that he
cares for
the physical
needs of the
people and
reacts in
compassion
to those
needs.
However, He
also uses
this miracle
as an
important
lesson for
His
disciples.
They see
their own
lack of
resources;
He sees the
need -
resources
are never a
problem for
the Son of
God. We must
be willing
to learn
from this
lesson
ourselves.

Mark 6:1-29:One
of the facts
of human
experience
is the
changes we
go through
during the
course of
our time on
earth. At
one point,
Job
complained:
"changes and
war are
against me"
(Job 10:17).
We lose a
job or a
loved one.
Our health
deteriorates.
We move. All
of these and
many more
changes are
some of the
great
challenges
we face in
life. Often
these
changes seem
to work
against us
(as
mentioned by
Job), but
they also
give us
heavenly
perspective
and cause us
to fear God.
Notice the
three great
changes
experienced
by Christ in
this lesson
and compare
them to the
changes in
our lives.
Truly, Jesus
is able to
help those
who are
going
through
great
changes.

Luke
8:26-56:
We know that
Christ can
heal and
that in
healing He
changes
lives.
However, He
can change
lives in a
multitude of
ways. He can
restore a
life that
has gone to
ruin, bring
a family
back
together, or
give renewed
hope and
purpose to
one who has
given up
hope. This
lesson, more
than
anything
else, is
about the
power of
Jesus Christ
to touch a
life and
leave it
different
than it ever
was before.

Wearing
Shorts To
Work:
I am a saved male and wanted to know if it was ok to wear
shorts on
extremely
hot days.
The shorts
would pass
the knees
and only be
worn at
work. My
pastor said
we should
cover our
legs past
our thighs
and be
modest in
our dress
but on hot
and humid
days it is
almost
unbearable.

Jewish
Burial:
I understand
Jewish
custom
dictates
that the
body is to
be buried
with earth
to speed the
return of
the soul to
nature or to
God. If this
is true, why
was Christ,
a Jew,
placed in a
rock tomb
and not
buried in
the earth?
Please
explain the
purpose of
the Jewish
custom too.

Luke 7:1-17:
The miracles
of Christ
demonstrate
His power
and reveal
His identity
as the Son
of God.
However,
they always
had
additional
teaching
value for
the
disciples
and we can
continue to
learn these
lessons
today. As
you study
the two
miracles in
this lesson,
look beyond
the miracles
themselves
and see the
lessons that
are there
that will
help us in
our
Christian
walk and in
our service
for the
King.

New Wine in

- Luke
5:33-39:
Why do the
disciples of
Jesus not
fast like
the
disciples of
John and the
disciples of
the
Pharisees?
1) Their
circumstances
are
different
(their
bridegroom
is with
them). 2)
The message
Christ
brings does
not just
amend the
old way; it
is radically
different
and brings
complete
change.

Mark 2:1-12:
The record
of this
miracle is
found in
three
gospels. You
should
compare the
record in
Mark with
Matthew
9:1-8 and
Luke
5:17-26.
Though
Christ must
have healed
multitudes
of sick
people and
numerous
miracles are
described in
the gospels,
this one is
unique
because of
the part
friends
played in
bringing
their lame
friend to
the Lord
Jesus. May
the Lord
give us such
friends in
our times of
need. May we
be a friend
to those who
need someone
to bring
them to the
Saviour.

Luke 5:1-16:
As to the
gospel
records,
this is the
second call
given to the
disciples.
However, it
points to
three calls
from the
Lord Jesus
to all of
us. The
first call
is the call
to
salvation.
The second
call is the
call to
discipleship,
or
sanctification.
For the
disciples,
this is
found in
John
1:35-42.
There, Jesus
invited
them, "Come
and see"
(John
1:39).The
third call
is the call
to service;
the call to
be fishers
of men. This
call for the
disciples is
recorded in
this chapter
and in
Matthew
4:18-22. As
Jesus told
them in
Matthew
4:19:
"Follow me,
and I will
make you
fishers of
men."

Luke
4:14-44:
Jesus now
enters into
His public
ministry in
earnest. The
second year
of His
ministry is
often called
the Year of
Popularity
(after the
Year of
Obscurity
and before
the Year of
Conflict).
This chapter
illustrates
that
popularity.
The people
rejoice at
what He has
to say and
they are
amazed at
His power to
heal and to
cast out
devils.
However,
even in His
time of
popularity,
His own home
town of
Nazareth
rejects Him.

Death Before
Salvation:
If someone
is murdered
before they
had a chance
to be saved
(especially
a young
person),
will they
still obtain
salvation?
The person
who
committed
the crime of
the unsaved,
if they are
saved &
confess/repent,
will they
still
receive
salvation
even if the
person they
murdered
doesn't?

Thoughts and
Meditations
Free Will Not Against Predestination
�Let�s again illustrate the harmony of
predetermination and free choice. Suppose you cannot watch
your favorite sports event live on TV. So you videotape it.
When you watch it later, the entire game and every play in
it are absolutely determined and can never be changed. No
matter how many times you rerun it, the final score, as well
as every aspect of every play, will always be the same. Yet
when the game happened, every event was freely chosen. No
one was forced to play. Therefore, the same event was both
determined and free at the same time.
�Someone may object that this is so only because the event
has already occurred, and that before the game occurred it
was not predetermined. In response we need only point out
that if God is all-knowing (omniscient), then from the
standpoint of His foreknowledge the game was
predetermined. For He knew eternally exactly how it
was going to turn out, even though we did not.
Therefore, if God has infallible foreknowledge of the
future, including our free acts, then everything that will
happen in the future is predetermined, even our free acts.
This does not mean these actions are not free; it simply
means that God knew how we were going to use our freedom�and
that He knew it for sure.� �from Chosen But Free
by Norman Geisler (p.45).
