  • Hello Mike, I must say it is refreshing to have someone truly give careful thought to subjects such as these.  You have given me much to think about.  I am afraid that I have given the impression that I do not believe the Scriptures to be valuable. That is definitely not what I was sa... [read more]
  • M____ wrote: Mike,     Thanks so much for your wisdom.  I'm so frustrated with this sin. I do well for a while than it pops back up. It would look like valleys and mountains on a graph. I can see such a difference between both natures at work in me. What a wretched man ... [read more]
  • Hi again Mike (and Sandi), Just a really quick question if that's ok? I was accused the other day of being an "Arianist." I confessed I had no idea what they were talking about.  After doing a brief Wikipedia search found that Arius believed that Christ was not an eternal being but rather a created... [read more]
  • Mike, I hope you understand the point of this question. I'm not quite sure how to ask it but here goes.

And the second question is why does God not appear to be more involved in His creation as opposed to the ol... [read more]
  • Can you tell me from where Cain got his wife?  Thanks,  T____ You wanted to know "from where" Cain took his wife, in Gen. 4:17.  The short answer to your question is that Cain married his own sister. Abraham also married his own half- sister Sarah (Gen. 20:12). And Amram ma... [read more]
  • Brothers, I've been meditating on 'after the council of his own will' and I have a couple of questions about some of the extremly incidental things that happen in life. I was getting in my car, and I dropped my keys; bent over, picked them up, unlocked the door then got in the car. Did God will th... [read more]
  • Hi Mike, Thank you for your quick reply. I would like to clarify what I said, perhaps saying it in a different way. One quick question if I might, concerning the mark of the beast. I am trying to put this all together in my mind. If we all have the mark of the beast, how is it that those who are on ... [read more]
  • Hi Mike Though my relationship with R____ is just beginning, already I sense God working great kinship between us. He is another of those marvelous believers in whom it is just evident that God is working. I cannot commend Him highly enough. In all things so far He has shown Himself to be just an ab...

  • Hi Mike! I pray all is well with you and your family. I am enjoying your postings on the conference in Indianapolis a great deal. It is always a pleasure to read and listen to all your postings on your website. I do have a couple of questions for you. You have written much on the sovereignty of God ... [read more]
