Somewhere in a Stranger's Eye

"I and all that I have are yours." What if we said this to Christ every hour, every day ? "I and all that I have are yours." All of my doubts Lord, all of my desires. All of my will and all of my worst. All of my obedience and all of my best, Lord. "I and all that I have are yours." Maybe then, we could be true representatives of Christ wherever He sends us, to the familiar or to the unfamiliar. We could flourish in foreign environments, wherever, somewhere among strangers, through the grace and power of Christ. Tune in and study with us to learn about more. We'll learn about the meaning of total surrender, about grace and we'll learn how to pray more effectively. Worry not; "Christ will hear you, for He never yet refused to heed the cry of a poor sin-sick soul," (C.H.S.). 1.- Is God preparing us for a significant event ? 2.- Why did Peter cut off the ear of Malchus when he knew that Jesus was able to heal people ? 3.- Are dinosaurs real ? 4.- What is the best explanation of Colossians 2 verse 16 ? 5.- How can we trust denominational writings, such as those by Ellen White ? 6.- In Acts 23 verse 6, it says Paul’s parents were both Jews but it also says he was born a pharisee.

"And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart." Yet still, "in Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace." This love of Christ is incomprehensible, and though we fail and grieve Him, filled with doubts toward Him or doubts of us, we are healed and empowered by His life and His sacrifice. Please join us as the pastors speak on the unpardonable sin, and how we must believe God will forgive AND give power and ability to live a new life. God will not ask of us anything without firstly giving us the power ! "When faith asks of God, it believes that it has the petition which it has asked of Him," (C.H.S.). God has provided help for us, and in His strength we may conquer, (PP, 421). Let us believe Him ! Let us praise Him ! Study with us now ! 1.- Regarding Numbers chapter 24, did Balak use sorcery ? 2.- Will you please elaborate on Acts 26 verse 24 ? 3.- Where in the Bible does it say that we are to vote individuals in or out of church membership ? 4.- Should a Christian celebrate Cesar Chavez Day ? 5.- Why did God use an unclean bird (a raven) for both Elijah and Noah ? 6.- According to Revelation 8 verse 7, are we entering the first trumpet judgment considering the recent weather ? 7.- In Genesis 1 verse 28, both the KJV and NKJV use the word “replenish” the earth.

From cover to cover, the Bible is filled with stories of temptations and attacks, betrayals and losses - Babylon against Israel. Today, the Lord is still watching for signs in us of surrender, signs in us of seriousness and fidelity, signs that we are ready... but our taste for the mundane grows; our worship of the world has barely begun. "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen," and we must leave for it has become a dwelling place of demons. This world rots and strides toward its destruction, yet God's Kingdom has no end. His Kingdom of glory will be forever. Join us now as we learn that understanding God's Word affects our image of Him and our relationship with Him, and that misunderstanding it will change our ability to love Him and reject the devil.

Our best Friend is Jesus - He who did not withhold His own life from us but for our sakes became poor, (CS, 326). Our best Friend is Jesus - He who bore a test infinitely more severe than that which Adam failed to endure, humiliating Himself to the lowest depths of woe that He might be qualified to reach man. What amazing Love !! A Friend like no other, (2Red, 14, 15, 31). Yet what are we but proud, disobedient and naked... What are we but confused, angry and dirty. Join us to hear more of Christ's faithfulness, His nobleness and righteousness, His authority and His blessings. Truthfully all that can be desired is not comparable to Him. Jesus is our Friend in affliction; He is One who knows, (DG, 221). 1.- Are Christians supposed to keep the feast days ? 2.- Where do you cross from an acceptable pride, to a sinful pride ? 3.- Were Adam's and Eve's garments the first introduction of artificial, synthetic, technological light on Earth ? 4.- Is the law that we are “no longer under” referring to the Book of Moses ? 5.- How long was Dorcas dead before she was revived in Acts chapter 9 verses 36 through 43 ? 6.- How are we supposed to keep the Sabbath in the New Earth if there is no passage of time ? 7.- Where does the timeline of Daniel 9 verse 26 fall in the timeline of the 70-week prophecy ? 8.- Scripture says that every eye will see Jesus' return.

Can you explain why it does not mean that ? 18.- Will God answer prayers if I don't pay tithe ? 19.- Why doesn't God ask for shoes to be removed when He encountered Abraham and Balaam, like He did with Joshua and Moses ?

Success should be defined by our faithfulness and obedience to the Lord. Success will be defined when the forthcoming events prove whether our hearts were of stone or of flesh. "The effort to serve both self and Christ makes one a stony-ground hearer, and he will not endure when the test comes upon him," (COL, 50). Let us allow our Rock and our Salvation to work in us, to write His name and His law inside, to live inside so that the language of the soul may be, "Lord, take my heart. Keep it pure. Save me in spite of myself, my weak, unchristlike self," (COL, 159). Only with His strength will we endure the length of the Great Tribulation. Only with His heart will we keep the Ten Commandments, and only with His guidance will we be born again. Join us now to study more. 1.- Did Sabbath exist before creation ? 2.- What does the Bible say about eating a plant-based diet ? 3.- Will the tribulation take place while life goes on as normal ? 4.- When is a person born again ? 5.- What am I to do when offered unclean food ? 6.- Was lot worshiping angels in Genesis chapter 19 verse 1 ? 7.- Was the angel who made the waters move in the pool of Bethesda one of God's angels, or one of Satan's ? 8.- Will you please explain Romans chapter 3 verses 19 and 20 ? 9.- Did the Lord slay the lamb in Genesis chapter 3 verse 21, or did He show Adam how ? 10.- Is the Gregorian calendar the beast power trying to change times and laws ? 11.- Is the Time of Trouble and the Great Tribulation the same event ? 12.- How do you know if you have been saved, or born again ? 13.- Why is Jesus called the Son of David ? 14.- Are nations still in existence during the thousand years on Earth ? 15.- During Christ's time on Earth, what language did the Romans speak ? 16.- Is Leviticus chapter 7 verses 26 and 27, and chapter 17 verses 13 and 14, relevant for us today ? 17.- Did the fall of Lucifer happen before or after man was created, and why was he cast to Earth ? 18.- Are we being judged at this moment ? 19.- After Cain killed Abel, did Adam and Eve extend the same grace to Cain that God gave them ? 20.- What is the Bible's perspective on the death penalty ? 21.- Will there be animal sacrifices in the millennial reign and for all eternity ?

God has permitted a flood of light to be poured upon the world in discoveries in science. But even the greatest minds, if not guided by the Word of God, become bewildered in their attempts to investigate the relations of science and revelation, (HF, 322). Knowledge has increased exponentially more in the last 100 years than in all of the history of man combined ! Could this be a sign ? Look at where we are and what we are doing... In all regards, may we let our Father and Lord lead the way as this world's time expires. Tune in and study with us about Armageddon and its timeline. We'll also discuss the Second Coming, the first and second deaths described in the Bible, and very importantly, why the Sabbath is still to be observed today. 1.- Are the Armageddons referenced in Revelation chapters 16 and 20 the same event or different ? 2.- How can we know that Sabbath is Saturday ? 3.- Is Enoch really still alive ? 4.- Is using the name "Jesus" wrong since His name in Hebrew was different ? 5.- Why do I go to church on Sunday if Sunday is Resurrection Day ? 6.- How will every eye see Jesus' return if I'm blind ? 7.- Will you please explain why God permitted Jacob to build pillars when Scripture states that it is forbidden ? 8.- Were Adam and Eve created before Sabbath ? and when exactly was their wedding ? 9.- What does Deuteronomy 14 verse 26 mean ? 10.- Are the seven trumpets past, current or future events ? 11.- What would it mean if the River Euphrates dried up before the seven last plagues begin ? 12.- Will you please explain the “sin unto death” mentioned in 1 John 5 verse 16 ? 13.- Would dairy and eggs be considered vegetarian ? 14.- Can we actually rebuke demons through reading Scripture and prayer ? 15.- Why don't Seventh-day Adventists believe in speaking in tongues and dancing ? 16.- In regards to the second death, the Bible says God will send down fire. Is the fire literal, and are angels susceptible to it ? 17.- Is it okay to lend to people your tithe, if you do not have any cash to lend them ? 18.- Is it alright to read the Book of Enoch ? 19.- What does the Bible mean when it says, "and as many as have been appointed to eternal life believed"? Does that mean that God chooses who is saved and who is lost ?

If the erring one persistently refuses to heed the voice that calls him with pitying, tender love, he will at last be left in darkness. The heart that has long slighted God's mercy, becomes hardened in sin, and is no longer susceptible to the influence of the grace of God. Fearful will be the doom of that soul (PP, 165). When the Light comes on, on which side will you find yourself ? The wicked run from the light, the righteous run to the light... There's no time to waste; we must make our decision now. Study with us as the pastors discuss tribulations and times of trouble, and if prophecy has been fulfilled or is still to take place. 1.- How long will the tribulation last ? 2.- What is the true meaning of speaking in tongues ? 3.- Is it sun worship to keep the Sabbath according to the Gregorian calendar ? 4.- Will you please explain 2 Timothy 2 verse 15 ? 5.- In Psalms 60 verses 1-3, who were the unknown people David fought against ? 6.- What does the Bible mean when it states, "the man of sin will take his seat in the temple of God" ? 7.- How do we know that the falling of the stars in May 1780 is the dark day from Bible prophecy ? 8.- Does prophecy have a different meaning in the context of 1 Samuel 10 verse 10 ? 9.- How do we obtain deliverance from evil spirits ? 10.- Why is “wisdom” referenced in a feminine context in Proverbs 4, if Solomon is talking about the Holy Spirit ? 11.- If I have taken God’s name in vain and then asked for forgiveness, have I been forgiven ? 12.- Is it ever okay to threaten someone with violence if they are insulting a family member ? 13.- Is it idolatry for Christians to do the sign of the cross ? 14.- When did the Bible get divided into verses with punctuation added, and by whom ? 15.- Who wrote the Book of Romans ? 16.- Genesis 19 verse 8 refers to the daughters of Lot being virgins.

If "our chastisements are our promotions," and if that which is gained after many a struggle is a full weighted blessing, and if "our heavenly Father measures and weighs every trial before He permits it to come upon" us... then everything we go through is worth it for now, and for eternity ! (C. Spurgeon, OHC, 323.) Let us then show the world that our God is worth ten thousand worlds to us (C. Spurgeon); that His Word is the maximum; that His Law is our delight; that despite not understanding everything, we keep faith, because everything is worth it, because nothing is above Him - because we will see God's smiling face in Heaven ! Tune in now to learn more with us, about the attacks on God's beautiful Word, about how to keep the Ten Commandments and much more ! 1.- Please explain Revelation 11 verses 11-14. 2.- Did Jesus use the lunar calendar to keep Sabbath ? 3.- Has the latter rain happened yet? 4.- Will you please explain the verse that describes Jesus' Second Coming and how "every eye will see Him"? 5.- Can mentally challenged individuals go be forgiven ? 6.- Is God the Lake of Fire mentioned in the book of Revelation ? 7.- Will we see God when we get to Heaven ? 8.- How do you keep the Ten Commandments ? 9.- Is it Biblically okay to be cremated ? 10.- What does the human brain lack, that we cannot understand God ? 11.- Is it okay for a Christian to take yoga classes ? 12.- Was Satan in the presence of God when he was talking to Job ? 13.- What happened to Enoch after God took him to Heaven ? 14.- Will you please explain Revelation 1 verse 7 ? 15.- Were the Ten Commandments written on blue sapphire stone ? 16.- Will you please explain who the King of the North and the King of the South are and what they represent ? 17.- What is taking place in Psalm 2 verse 7 and Hebrews 5 verse 5 ? 18.- What is the best response when someone asks if we are saved ? 19.- Did God create sin according to Isaiah 45 verse 7 ? 20.- Do we know how many fallen angels there are ? 21.- Is Michael the Archangel Jesus ?

"As far as the East is from the West, so far has He removed our transgression from us." Sin is removed from us by a miracle of love ! And if sin be removed so far, then we may be sure that the scent, the trace, the very memory of it must be entirely gone; even Satan himself could not achieve to bring it back again. Our sins are gone, Jesus has borne them away ! (Charles Spurgeon) Join us as the pastors discuss how much God is willing to forgive more than we ask, and what God does with our broken promises. 1.- Is it okay to pray to the Holy Spirit ? 2.- The Bible says there will be an attempt to change times and laws. Does this also include the 70-week prophecy in Daniel 9 ? 3.- Revelation 11 verse 19 says the ark of the covenant is seen in the temple. How does that relate to current events ? 4.- As we are experiencing climate change, should our main emphasis be the Great Commission ? 5.- What programs do you use to study the Bible ? 6.- Is investing your money similar to gambling ? 7.- How can we know if someone has committed the unpardonable sin ? 8.- Will God leave Heaven for the new Earth, or is Heaven the atmosphere of the new Earth ? 9.- What should I do if my employer requires me to work on Sabbath? 10.- Will you please explain what the "times of the Gentiles" means in Luke 21 verse 24 ? 11.- Can you be saved without reading the Bible ? 12.- Please explain Psalm 1 verses 1-3. 13.- Please explain Revelation 11 verses 1-2. 14.- Why is Jesus’ birth celebrated in December? 15.- Who was in the fire and the earthquake and the wind when Elijah was on Mount Horeb ? and what is the deeper message of this story ? 16.- What does the Bible say about slothfulness ?

Satan's most successful scheme in deceiving man has been to conceal his real purpose and his true character. He represents himself as man's friend - a benefactor of the race, an angel from Heaven doing a good work for humanity, (2Red, 34). He believes his own lies and convinces others of the same. Does any of this seem all that foreign and unfamiliar ? Does any of this sound all that distant and strange ? Tune in now as we study Satan's character and the war in Heaven after his rebellion. We'll discuss too another of his lies about the singular path to salvation, and we'll explain the steps to conversion. There's so much created confusion, but we must not give ground to the devil. We must believe in God's faithfulness and care, we must give our Father a chance to provide, a chance to sustain us and a chance to strengthen us. "Never could there be a better Master, for His service is freedom," (C.H.S.). Freedom in truth indeed. 1.- How could Satan and his angels fight against Michael and His angels, if Satan had been cast down to Earth ? 2.- Is the Torah relevant for Christians today ? 3.- Why do some religions believe that they are the only ones that have the truth ? 4.- What should I do if I find a job that requires me to work one Sabbath a month ? 5.- When we get to Heaven will we still have the same character that we died with ? 6.- Have the prophecies about the sun turning dark, the moon turning red and the stars falling already taken place ? or are they still ahead of us ? 7.- Is Genesis 1 verse 26 telling us that we are to be good stewards of the earth ? 8.- What did Jesus mean when He said, “The kingdom of God is within you” ? 9.- Where in the Scriptures can I find when the end of probation takes place ? is it at the death decree, or at the mark of the beast ? 10.- How can we explain that Adam and Eve were clothed with light ? 11.- In Jeremiah 3 verse 9, who is the “she” that is being referenced ? 12.- Could the second disciple on the road to Emmaus be Cleopas’ wife ? 13.- Will God put people to sleep if they can’t handle the end-time persecution ? 14.- Does the rainbow cloud in “The Days of Noah” DVD series represent the New Jerusalem ? 15.- Is it possible for people to be demon possessed ? 16.- In 1 John 2, do verses 7 and 8 contradict each other ? 17.- What is another way to witness besides sharing pamphlets ? 18.- Once you accept Jesus Christ into your heart, do you need to be baptized ? 19.- Where did Cain find his wife ? 20.- Have I lost my salvation if I’m not doing what God wants ? 21.- Why did Jesus have to be tortured in order to save mankind ?
