The following is a question submitted for our graceTALK segment on Sunday (Feb.11.’07). Due to time (the gT segment was jammed with questions), topic (the context alone would take several minutes to explain) and sensitivity toward younger children (obvious), we decided to answer online vs. in our service.

Here is the question(s):

In Exodus 4:24-25, right after God gives Moses his big assignment, it says God was going to put Moses to death. Then his wife circumcised their son and touched Moses’ feet with the foreskin, and God let him go.

A. Why did God give him this huge job and then go out to kill him?
B. What do you do with the whole foot-touching thing?
C. How did Zipporah know what to do to

In part I of this blog we took up the question: Was Paul representing a “lost” point of view or a “found” point of view in Romans 7:14-25?

In part I, I posted four lines of argument that support the view that Paul is portraying the experience of a “lost” person. Now I will lay out four arguments that indicate Paul is representing a “found” view.

1. The shift from the past tenses of vv.7-13 to the present tense of vv.14-25 is best explained as representing a believer. Paul moves from a past reflective teaching point to a present conditional status. This would not make sense if Paul is trying to voice his condition prior …

While there are issues that boil with passion there are others that simply simmer. For example, was Jesus the God-man? If you answer that question wrongly the result will be to have your soul damned. While there are relatively few who would make such a strong point about one subject in religion there are even fewer who would write that on a public blog! However, the gravity of this truth was hinted at in the Old Testament (Ps. 2:4-12) and screamed for in the New Testament (John 3:36; I John 4:1-3; 5:1). Our subject this week is a “simmer” subject – Who wrote Romans 7:14-25? When I say, “who” I mean, more exactly, who …

We recently had another graceTALK session in which people ask questions and the Pastors of Grace seek to answer them. It is a great time of expressing Biblical truth in the context of desiring to know God’s Word better.

The following was submitted, but there was not enough time to give an answer. I hope we can supply some insight in this forum. Since there are two questions that live in the same arena, I will list them both.

#1. What is the “Protestant work ethic” and what makes it “Protestant?”

#2. Sometimes I’m tempted to think my work doesn’t matter because my job isn’t “spiritual.” I know that’s not the right way to think about it, but what IS the right …

The Leadership Team answers your questions.  

 Q1 (1:38):  Acknowledging that Christ is our only hope (not man or political parties) and that God is sovereign over all things, what is the view of the Grace Fellowship Leadership Team on the church’s role in politics or political activism?  What Scriptures can you point us to in support of your answer?

Q2 (7:45):  I have friends (christians) who think Halloween is of the devil and no Christian should have anything to do with it.  I have other friends (also christians) who dress up and go door-to-door and think nothing of it.  Which approach is right?

Q3 (20:52):  The Bible speaks of the possibility of sin being passed on to several generations.  …
