This week's questions:
0:00 Greetings and introduction - Live from Italy! 🇮🇹
2:19 What Is the Future of Christianity in America? Revival or Division.
12:36 A critique of "Christian Nationalism"
18:30 In Italy to introduce the Commentario Nuovo Testamento in italiano!
19:50 Hello Ps David, thanks for all you guys do! Could you explain the difference between Apostle, Pastor and Elder, both in NT times, and the present time, please?
27:00 Could you please explain Lamentations 4:21-22 and Malachi 1:3-5, “The people with whom God is forever angry” Thank you! ‪@JeriHoopes‬
30:45 Do you think God would “take home” a compromised believer, in order to prevent them from falling away completely? (I'm borrowing this question from Mike Winger's Q&A, because I would like to hear your take on it too!)
34:31 A Lie From Satan - a message to those severely troubled or discouraged.
36:18 Does the "mystery of lawlessness" exist in the church today? 2 Thess 2:7
40:20 The Mission of Enduring Word and how we are blessed! (campaign link above)
41:30 1Tim 2: 15 Seems to imply some aspect of salvation to women comes from childbearing. But all of Paul’s previous teachings do not concur with this idea. What is the correct interpretation of this verse?
48:06 How do I respond to the people who think Jesus’ real name is Yahusha HaMashiach?
51:12 Happy 4th of July to all! And especially the OFC Men's Group at Calvary Chapel Stone Mountain Georgia
52:30 What shall we do when no friends or family members want us to talk about Jesus or the bible?
Since Jesus wants us to share the gospel, what happens when we are not able to or fail to do so?
Is praying, thanking God, and reading enough?
53:45 Why do people assume they are going to heaven because they go to mass on Sundays, but live like the world? It breaks my heart because they think they are truly saved but are actually headed to hell. I know so many like this... What is the best way to reach or witness to these people?
54:50 When does God begin to personally speak with a person? Do we need to reach a certain level of holiness before God begins speaking?
56:50 How do I know if God wants me to do something? I have heard that not doing what God is telling you is a sin. I don't want to let God down and feel guilty by missing certain things looking back.
58:46 What did Moses mean by saying "man shall not live by bread alone"? Is he referring to both the body and spirit?
59:31 What did Jesus mean when he said to drink His blood and eat His flesh in John 6: 53-58? Are these the sacraments, or scripture/the Word, or something more than this?
1:01:15 Hello Pastor. My question has to do with Matt 17: 24 the temple tax. from reading this, it appears Jesus has issues on how they were enforcing the tax. what is the history, and why was the tax required/enforced?
1:03:15 Do I understand correctly, that the people in the millennium are those who Weren’t believers prior to the rapture, but who didn’t worship the beast, and have survived the great tribulation?
1:05:18 And are the 144,000 among the people on earth, or does God send them to earth from Heaven?
1:05:45 Is eternity a length of time that lasts sequentially forever, or is eternity existence outside of time entirely?
1:07:22 What do you do to remain humble considering all the wisdom and knowledge you have?

I'm saddened that I missed today's Q & A, tbh it completely slipped my mind. A year ago today my dad lost his dog. He lives alone but besides that I know most pet owners consider they're dog as a child of theirs. I was on the phone comforting my dad during the Q and A. There's always next week and the following weeks. I absolutely love this Q and A and David Guzik is one of the best pastors out there!! I won't be missing it again. Happy 4th of July everyone 🎆!! I hope everyone is having fun and staying safe. Happy 4th of July David Guzik!! Thank you for always being there for us and our questions!!!

As you talk about Christianity in other parts of the world I think about a couple of mass choirs in India. Choirs of 150-250 voices with extremely talented organists and piano players. They sing beautiful hymns with such a great feelings that put choirs I've heard in churches I've attended in the USA. I pictured churches in India in squalid villages with poorly dressed people. This was so different. But the songs and singing were so beautiful. I'll email a few of these songs one of these days. I listen to all eight hymns almost every day especially at night before bed. They are so spiritual. Many thanks.

If a Church teaches that their WORKS, as well as GRACE (through FAITH) are essential for salvation, are they saved?!

@pamelaschmiedeler910 10 дней назад

@@EverlastingLife-pl9ug No, salvation is through Christ alone.

@kristenspencer9751 10 дней назад

They can be saved, but lack understanding. Only God can judge the heart. That being said; it's easy to get this confused. It may sound like a church is saying Jesus PLUS my works when in fact that's not what they are saying. Get clarification. There's a complicated scripture in the Book of James that confuses folks. "Works" are a sign of salvation. A sign of real saving faith. Works are EVIDENCE of that faith. You don't work in order to be saved...but rather that a saved person will have works. "Works" can be the fruit of Christ: increasing love, patience, less prone to get angry, a new desire not to sin. Works can be a desire to be involved in ministry...IF that flows out of and is the result of someone becoming a new creation in Christ. It's natural for them to want to serve in the church. It's the motivation of the heart. Joy not fear. Some people have a wrong motivation. They serve in order to be seen as "pious" or to be well liked and well thought of (reputation). They serve in order to move into higher positions of power in a church (pretense). They are trying to 'look the part' of a Christian. Still others serve out of fear. They lack understanding and their works stem from guilt, or shame thinking "I better DO something" or God won't bless me, or that I might lose my salvation. So they serve thinking something bad might happen if they do not. They misunderstand what James is saying...but that doesn't mean that they are not saved. It's a good conversation to have with someone!

Yes, God is at work globally and there are those who hunger for the truth and righteousness. I need to highlight that we are also warned about an apostasy where there will be a falling away from the truth. Jesus warned us 4 times in Matthew 24 not to be deceived or led astray. We must be alert and be good Bereans. Ciao !

Thank you for addressing the Christian nationalist question. I am in agreement with your position. I understand the desire for government n the church to work in tandem for a more Christian society but as you rightly stated history has shown that it doesn’t work. Safe travels and thanks for the great work you do for the kingdom! Blessings!

Target rich environment Saints! Our mission remains the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20) hand out a gospel tract to the traffic light beggar or waitress, visit a shut-in and read scripture, disciple a young person (if you know how) hands on the plow! Precious final moments! Bema Seat rewards. Maranatha !

The question Pastor why is the church making more sense and growing in those places and not so in North America 😮

@harrymaciolek9629 10 дней назад

There has been an organized effort for at least a century to separate Americans from God. There are writings from the 1920’s and 30’s whose goals are what we see today.

@carollee594 10 дней назад

Thank you! Interesting topic and opening. I also thought about the Church in the US today when I heard from another beloved Pastor in GB only 10% in GB consider themselves Christian. This gave me shivers of sadness, could this happen here?

@DavidGuzikEnduringWord 7 дней назад

It may well indeed - perhaps not to such an extent, but the decline of Christianity (all denominations) over the last 100 years is undeniable. Thankfully the growth of Evangelical churches has gained a significant foothold among Americans (and worldwide) over the decades, but some perceive that that growth has begun to slow or plateau in the United States, based on attendance and other factors. Again, we should pray for revival, or prepare for division! God bless.

I am smiling at the thought of apostle. Not that I have knowledge of how an apostle differs from other believers, but it seems that the Apostles had a common purse. I doubt there is a group like that...or like the inner circle of those who saw applicants drop dead for being dishonest about holding back some assets.
