Listen to excerpted questions from Doug Batchelor's 60-minute, nationwide call-in program that lets you ask any Bible question and receive the true and accurate answer straight from the Bible.
The sweetness of the Bible lies in the possessive pronouns, (Charles H. Spurgeon). The Lord is YOUR deliverer, Your help and Your salvation. The Lord is OUR strength, Our power and Our victory. Do you believe it ? Join us now as we learn to believe the truth and not Satan's lies, to believe in His power and in His sure word, to trust Him, to see others as our Father sees them, and thus love them as He loves them, and to believe His prophecies and keep His testimonies. Grasp your Lord, lay hold on Him ! Study with us now ! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/297/29
The Christian enjoys the beauty of nature with the highest appreciation, for he recognizes his Father's handiwork (SC, 87). The Christian confirms when under pressure whom he serves, for what we have absorbed is what we will release, (J. Reish). The Lord's love is evidenced in His creation, the devil's work in its decay. Who are we letting in ? What are we letting out ? May we redirect our focus to God, may we be subdued by His Spirit, may we place God first and let others see the Invisible within us, that He may be seen also without.

When the Spirit of God takes possession of the heart, it transforms the life. The blessing comes when by faith the soul surrenders itself to God. Then that power creates a new being in the image of Christ, (2MCP, 760). We wait on God to rescue, to help; we wait on God to convict we wait. However, we wait and we live, moving forward in action; doing, studying, learning what we can to be nearer to God, impulsed by faith to obey and influence others positively.

Intelligence to wisdom, wisdom to recognition, recognition to need, need to reliance, reliance to freedom It all originates and turns back toward Christ. Join us now as we explain with the Bible's guidance how to deal with stress and how the Lord sweetly encourages us. We'll elaborate too on what it means to take up our cross and how no matter what, we mustn't ever stop. Sometimes we feel like God ignores us, but don't let go ! You're not alone. Believe that Christ understands, because He does. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/297/29
Christ is worth it ! Nothing compares to His love. He gave Everything to simply have the possibility that you could accept His sacrifice (T. Gibson) so what will you do about it ? Accept His gift and pass it on ! Tell of God's forgiveness ! Spend time with our Father in His Word. Will you join us ? We'll touch on the question of God creating sin and of contradictions in the Bible. Tune in now and learn more ! Nothing is too little which relates to man's salvation, nor is there anything too little in which to please God, (E. Pusey).

You were precious in My sight and I have loved you. Fear not, for I am with you. Why do we worry so much ? Why are our eyes so little, that we cannot see beyond our presence. Christ's kingdom will never be conquered ! This world is temporary, the happiest happiness we'll live up there, and though the enemy try to intimidate us, using his power over nature, provoking discord among us, harming us, straining us, sending tragedy and heartbreak we are guarded by Omnipotence, and therefore always safe (C. Spurgeon). There is no love like Christ's. Open your Bible and your eyes and join us now ! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/297/29
Some of us walk and it seems the air just moves in to fill the spaces where we've been (M. Strand). Some of us move but in fear, forgetting that the thorny path becomes easier because His footsteps have already pressed down the briers (CS, 151). Tune in as we discuss fear and the future life, lawlessness and the mark of the beast, and guns and death decrees. In the Bible we find our peace, our strength, our hope, our happiness, (C.H.S.).

You must carry the cross before you wear the crown and learn to leave the time of the blessing in the hands of God (C.H.S.). But it's extremely difficult- it truly, truly is... to learn to trust the Lord, to let the Lord build faith during the waiting, to wait quietly, to quietly bear the trials, to regard the trials as saving lessons... Join us as we explore these topics and much more. The end is not yet, but when it comes it shall be everlasting joy. Don't let go ! The best is yet to come.

One of the noblest features of a Christian is the readiness to forgive and the cheerfulness in recompensing good for evil, (C.H.S.). In the simplest essence, it is a reflection of Christ and His grace, a reflection of the goodness and sacrifice that quietly and lovingly convict. Join us now to learn about surrendering to Christ to overcome, about growing our faith through trial, and about handling hatred from others. To triumph in grace is a difficult thing, but while holding His hand we can accomplish any thing. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/297/29
We went about it all wrong, on our own, not consulting God. We put ourselves in front when our own desires we should have placed behind. Now what ? "The Lord is more willing to give His Holy Spirit to those who serve Him than parents are to give good gifts to their children," (AA, 50). Although we've rejected God's best, by the influence of the Holy Spirit our backsliding can be reversed. Study with us now as we ask in prayer for His assistance and "avail ourselves of all the help and light that God has given" in order to understand this precious Everlasting Gospel (CH, 506), and in order to then share and speak truth with the heavenly oil of love that our words of reproof may be spoken in love (COL, 337), no matter the consequences.

Is it that the heart is closed and dead, coffined, and a phantom... If you don't know what to do when you're lost and weak, if you can't forgive yourself, if you don't know how to repent or how to fight Satan back, don't despair. Tell him to recollect his bruised head, which he tries to cover with a crown of pride, (C.H. Spurgeon), remind him that he is fighting a lost battle, and study with us about God's mercies and new beginnings. There is purpose. There is Light in everything, keep moving.

Mold me, fashion me, raise me into a pure and holy atmosphere, (COL, 159). The earthly sanctuary was but just a hint, a shadow of the Heavenly, barely a glimpse of the true grandness and immensity. And us, if we could be a shadow of Christ, miniatures and models of Him, letting Him be our example, what could be achieved ? Perhaps our families could witness His character through us, perhaps those that wonder why bad things happen to good people could understand faith through us, and that despite what they see our God is in control. Perhaps change could come through our hearts, through us a consuming conversion and defeat of self, to be more like Him and bring into our character the fragrance of His, (Lt 47a, 19). Let us behold Him to become like Him. Join us to learn more. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/297/29
Each day we must do battle with evil. "Old habits, hereditary tendencies, will strive for the mastery... we must maintain a constant battle with self," (AA, 476; 565). It must be our constancy : fight your self, fight the flesh. Though sin is tearing us apart in this inward battle between God's will and our selfishness, tearing us away from God's image and embrace, if we have even the smallest confidence that He is our personal Savior, if we seek Him and share Him, we can run up that mountain of sin with Christ's strength victorious !

Regret is an ugly thing. When salvation He's made free, when His love He's made free, when freedom is a just a decision away... why wouldn't you take it ? Our hearts are stone and wicked and deceitful, we are in the dark. But even so the Lord gives us choice. We can choose to take His seal and want His will, we can choose to forgive and be forgiven, we can choose to have Heaven forever. Right will lead to Light. Tune in now and find out more.

There is a science of Christianity to be mastered a science as much deeper, broader, higher than any human science as the heavens are higher than the earth, (MH, 453). This is a science of unlearning to relearn, of suffering to be strong, of bearing the cross to win the crown, (AA, 467). It's a science of going deeper in our Father and of falling deeply in love with Him, of demonstrating faith in the life because of love, demonstrating His forgiveness and mercy toward us because of love. Maybe, just maybe then, we can hasten His glorious return Join us now to learn more ! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/297/29
How much longer can we remain in Satan's spell ? We've learned to lose ourselves, allowing pain and sin to attach like a lifeline. And our human insignificance, our powerlessness and deficiency... we are so small and unable, sinners to the full extent. We need Christ, and He will help us if we let go - leave alone and behind what's preventing us from life with Him, from going to the next level with Him. Listen in now and learn that your salvation is through Christ only, not through what you do or don't do. You just have to want it, and He will do the rest.

Heaven is unimaginable !! Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him," and if God will not spare anything necessary to the completion of His work (HLv, 32), not even His Son, then something Magnificent is waiting beyond the turmoil !

God is the Creator of all the beauty and all the choreography around us, but these evidences in nature, are we to keep and tend them ? Is it our responsibility to be good stewards of God's nature, or is this a trick of the enemy to fool us with his laws and eccentricities ? Listen in and learn more ! We'll as well look into what happens to our breath, our spirit, after death, and we'll discuss the wisdom to discern when we should give up with someone, and when we should keep going.

There is so little time left, we are in the crucible. "Tomorrow is not yours. Today you are to maintain the victory over self. Today you are to live a life of prayer. Today you are to believe that God blesses you," (HS, 142). There may well be no next time to get it right. Tune in now as we focus on Christ's Second Coming and the signs of the times present around the world. Despite it all however, we must not have a time of trouble beforehand by our anxiety. Instead, may we "live in God, and on God, and with God... and give Him His due by trusting Him," (C.H. Spurgeon). To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/297/29
"Those who caviled at the words of Christ found ever-increasing cause for cavil, until they turned from the Truth and the Life," refusing the light which would illuminate their darkness, (HLv, 391). We stand between the darkness of ignorance and the eternal darkness of death... unless we turn our will to Christ. The luckiest thing is having been born, don't let the enemy monopolize your time or your will ! Join us now and we'll learn about the lake of fire, about being prayer warriors, and about learning to love our enemies.

The angel said to them, '... ye must die that ye may live. Get ready, get ready, get ready... Sacrifice all to God. Lay all upon His altarself, property, and all, a living sacrifice. It will take all to enter glory,' (Mar, 98). When we look at ourselves in the mirror of God's law, we will see what could cost us eternity. It is time to get ready ! Let us recommit our lives !... it won't be long. Are you a lukewarm Christian ? Do you feel the need to be re-baptized ? But what about the "once saved, always saved" theory ?

Sometimes we go week by week, struggling. Sometimes it's day by day, and sometimes we're hanging on just hour by hour. Through it all however, we keep our heads up with the beautiful assurance that God loves us and forgives us. He must be the source of our strength. Faith grows by trust, faith grows by hearing, hearing by the word of God. Join us in this refreshing and detailed Bible study on Bible Answers Live.

We must keep going and get back on the path. We must keep going with the Lord, never giving up. "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations..." We too must be that witness, in our diet, in our worship of the Sabbath, in our persistence to grow our knowledge and comprehension of the Word, and especially of the prophecies that are being now fulfilled.

The end of prophecy means the beginning of a new life. We continue to bear the life here in this world, and we must also continue to concentrate on understanding the prophecies and God's commandments.

As the disciples gathered to pray, "they were weighted with the burden of the salvation of souls. They realized the Gospel was to be carried to the world..." (AA, 37). We must all have this burden, and we must all ask ourselves if we are truly investing in the salvation of souls, for "in calling God our Father, we recognize all His children as our brethren," (Pr, 245). Then, are we silent, hoarding, asleep ? Are we joyful and feeling urged to share the good news of grace ? May we remember that when the character of Christ is finally perfectly reproduced in His people, He will then come to claim us as His own !

We have to fall in love with Christ again, we have to start from the beginning and see His love. For us to do that is going to take a full surrender and total repentance, a complete sacrifice. And Christ is worth it, so worth it... Heaven is cheap enough !! But what is repentance ? And does God ever reject us ? Be encouraged as you listen in ! Recommit, readjust your focus on Him. Christ's sacrifice, "God's all cannot be praised with less than our all," and we never praise Him better than when we do those things that are pleasing to His sight (C.H. Spurgeon).

"The more closely believers have walked with God, the more powerfully have they testified of their Redeemer's love..." (AA, 49). As we study our Bibles and meditate on its truths, we realize the need to bear witness in our lives of Christ's character, confessing Him before the world (AA, 49). Whether that be by defending our faith, by understanding how prophecy has been fulfilled throughout history or by keeping calm and hope through tribulation, we must stand as signs and wonders in the world, appreciating the beauty of complete involvement in the present and clutching tightly to the promise and the hope and the joy that we have in our Lord.

Do not look to yourself, but away to Jesus... You will find Him away from yourself (2MCP, 808). This means surrender pride, worry and anxiety and problems, sinfulness. This means trust Jesus. Persevere. Surrender and trust as you study your Bible, surrender and trust as you fast. Surrender and trust as you hit rock-bottom. Fix your eye on the Sun of righteousness. He has the victory, He has the virtue, He has the strength - He has you in hand and His everlasting arms are about you (2MCP, 809) !

Sometimes there is nothing we can do except pray, surrender and repent. Repentance is a tricky thing isn't it, but it's necessary to pray in faith and bring our lives into harmony with our petitions (Pr, 216). With intense earnestness, pour out your supplications as even Christ did. Bend your knee before Him and regain your first love, persevere and have a personal experience with the Holy Spirit, and fight the thinking so it doesn't become a doing. Bow your knees and testify that your whole is in subjection to the Spirit of truth (Pr, 208), and you'll learn even to love your enemies as God still loves you.

One of our greatest freedoms is choosing how we react to the circumstances and events in our lives. One of our greatest freedoms is the freedom of choice. What will we choose to do if we fear we have committed the unpardonable sin ? What will we choose to do as we lie ill on our deathbeds and look back at our lives of supposed Christianity ? What will we choose to do if our fianc isn't of our faith ? Join us during this episode of Bible Answers Live to learn more, for in the end the answers are all in His Word and His love.

We have a choice. We always have a choice, and every choice has a consequence. Will we collaborate and respond to His sacrifice or will we look the other way ? Will we allow Him to lead us away from temptation or will we step into it ? Will we choose Him today ? ...or will we choose ourselves.

"The separation is wide and fearful, but Christ has made provision again to connect us with Himself. When this intimacy of connection and communion is formed, His righteousness is imputed to us," (NL, 45). We have every reason to believe and nothing to fear. In this time of new beginnings, and also of the unknown and the uncertain, rejoice as you imagine Jesus smile, rejoice as you learn of His sacrifice for you, rejoice as you recognize the intricacy and perfection of prophecy and the mercy of His condescension.

Heaven begins here, do you believe it ? If we learn of Him and walk with Him in this life, His love fills and His presence satisfies and all the more intense will our happiness be (2MCP, 651). However, prophecy tells us of the time soon coming of the seven plagues, the tribulation and the closing probation. The Bible tells of types and antitypes, even of the end of the world. We must prepare for the true Heaven -the eternal one- so we must sacrifice the lower for the higher and the earthly for the spiritual... Of what good would God deprive us ?
