What enables one person to continue hoping when all others
have given up?
Comforting Words of
Life
- Why does God require one to return to Him before He returns to that person? What does "God returning to us" mean? Why did He leave in the first place?
- What is the unpardonable sin? How does one know if he/she has committed the unpardonable sin?
The Lord is Coming
- Is the modern state of Israel a fulfillment of Zechariah’s prophecy that God’s people would be restored to Jerusalem and that His people would flock back from many countries to their land?
- What does Zechariah mean by stating that Israel was the “apple of God’s eye?” Is the apple the best of all fruits? How can the Bible refer to apples so many times when apples do not grow in the Middle East?
God’s Readiness to
Forgive
- What does Satan and Jesus debate over when a sinner stands before God?
- When God places rich garments and a clean turban on us what happens to our filthy garments?
- What does it cost God (not talking about Jesus) if anything, when He forgives humans?
Not By Human Power
- Aren’t we expected to defend ourselves? On what types of occasions should one not rely on human power but on God’s? What kinds of things does the power of the Spirit add to our feeble efforts?
- Why did the walls of the city and the temple have to be built by human power and not by God’s?
Beyond Fasting
- If one has decided to fast, and then gives in and eats, is that a sin?
- Why do Christians fast? Is it not putting pressure on God to do something He might not have chosen to do otherwise?
- Is there anything one can do that would please God more than fasting? If there is, why do people still fast?
