Questions and Responses

Question: Are you familiar with Randy Frazee [co-editor Max Lucado] and his book called The Story? Our church is promoting it for small group study and I have a few concerns. Would appreciate any information you may have.

Question: I have heard of a number of churches that are giving copies of Rocky Fleming's The Prayer Cottage...

Question: A dear friend of mine, on fire for Jesus, is following John Crowder. I’m concerned about the wording of his ministry. His teachings are called “mystical school.” I just wonder if you know about him and what you think.

Question: In Wide Is the Gate…T. A. McMahon states: “in trying to solve the problems, fix the world, many Christians don’t realize that they’re actually going to be helping the Antichrist develop his kingdom.” My friends were disturbed by this statement.

Question: Why should Christians care about the Middle East in general, and specifically about Israel?

Question: Could you please explain briefly some of the teachings of Kingdom/Dominion...

Question [composite of several]: I was disturbed and confused as to what your purpose is for advancing Mark Dinsmore's particular ideas on "Christian patriotism." What if our forefathers had taken this pacifist attitude when we arrived in the New World?

Question: Your TBC Daily Update on The Hunger Games (4/4/2012) seems to have missed the point....They couldn’t stand watching most of it, but the moral lessons were certainly there, very much so. Did you miss them?

Question: Pastor John Hinkle said over TBN that he heard God say, “On Thursday, June 9, I will rip the evil out of this world.”...The prophecy was promoted by Paul Crouch and Pat Robertson, yet when it failed to materialize neither said a word about it.

Question: I have been disturbed for some time by the “praise and worship” music in my church—even to the point of looking elsewhere. But I seem to find the same thing everywhere I go....Am I just old-fashioned? Help me.
