QUESTION RECEIVED:
As Christians are we to hate the evil doer as well as the evil? Is there scripture for this position?
MY ANSWER:
NO!!! We love Christ so much we would never scoff at His work on the cross to save our souls and other sinners from Hell by our own arrogant hate. Our only true response to show our love for Christ and His creation is to witness and evangelize to those He created and loved and died to redeem.
Sinners are not to be hated but concerned for. Why? They are in agony, separated from God, unforgiven and

Christian Hipsters Explained For The Uncool
QUESTION RECEIVED:
What is a "Christian Hipster?" How concerned should I be concerning this?
It seems they want to just be like the world.
MY ANSWER:
Hipster Christianity seems to me is how some in their late teens and early thirty's approach their faith today in a stylish way. It is easy to take shots at other generations. Dress, attitude and what you declare as important are always suspect to the other generation. One thing about hipsters, I have never met

Does God Care What Church Leaders Give-YES
QUESTION RECEIVED:
Is there any where in the Bible that talks about auxiliary dues??? How do you deal with leaders in the church that are not tithing???
MY ANSWER:
Auxiliary dues? This is a strange phrase in my church tradition.
I had to research the phrase. What I understand is that auxiliary dues are expected contributions to the organization one belongs to. No, auxiliary dues are not in the Bible.
The church is supported by the tithes and offerings of members. These tithes and offerings are from the blood

Titanic - what really went down in eternity
The movie Titanic in the 1990's seemed to capture the complete fascination of this historic tragedy when that ship sank early on April 15th 1912. The ship was sent off with a foolish headline from a major newspaper that said “This Ship Is Unsinkable, Even God Himself Can’t Sink It!”. It sank. This big news item ship was nothing but status for it's passengers. The world media was reporting

Council To A Future Husband
Recently I was asked to contribute to a memory book being prepared for a young man preparing to get married. Here is the advise I sent.
This is for a Christian husband. Women, if he is not a Christian here is your advise, run!!!
My three areas of council to a future Christian husband-
1.) Faith-You will be or should be the priest of your home. Will you be providing Scripture reading, prayer and family worship?
This is where women fail in choosing a husband. They are choosing the priest of their home and children.
Do not negate your witness by your mouth, what you allow on you TV or computer and personal habits.
Yes, you will be criticized by other men when you turn from these things. Do you want to honor God and your wife and family or guys in the world?
2.) Finance-With out a budget you will spiral into frustration. Crown Ministries and David Ramsey both offer good information on this.
Debt and wasteful spending cause the most family crisis.
3.) Raising children- How you raise and discipline children needs to be discussed before you have them.
In Christ Alone!

Pay That Preacher
QUESTION RECEIVED:
What does the Bible say about some pastors taking hugh salaries from the church? Should members limit what they give and maybe give some to a needy cause?
MY ANSWER:
What does the Bible say about pastors getting huge salaries? Nothing.
If you think some one is greedy and profiteering from the gospel you are blessed to be, in America anyway, able to completely ignore any

Saint Patrick -Why He Is Awesome
Saint Patrick's Day is again on March 17th. This year in 2013 it falls on a Sunday. He lived from 387 - 461 A.D.
This is what you need to tell every partier heading for crazy celebrations, parades with the green beer and what all that American advertising has tried to make Saint Patrick's Day. The real Saint Patrick was the most adventurous, special-forces type daring and effective evangelist for the Lord Jesus Christ since the days of the New Testament Apostles.
As a youth in what is now the United Kingdom he was kidnapped from a well to do family by pirates/Vikings. From childhood until young adulthood he was forced to
