PANEL DISCUSSION REVIEW A few weeks ago, we held a Panel Discussion, and wish to have our Pastor address a few unanswered questions submitted. After death, is there sex in heaven? • Really people, but the answer is an assumed “no”. We will be with our Heavenly Father and without a natural body. There is certainly much more to substantiate this answer, but again “no”. What is the key to happiness? • Man is often intrigued with happiness, but happiness is circumstantial and requires something to happen, therefore it is often temporal. Joy is much better. Habakkuk 3:17 & 18 speaks of the joy that comes from the Lord. Leading by example: How does it feel to know that you all influence so many people? Also, do you ever have any hangups? • It is a humbling experience and one that is certainly reverenced. The expectation by some is for you to fail, while others expect for you to succeed. In the end, you must strive to please God and not man. One of the greatest challenges that I have had to face is to understand why someone would choose to remain stuck, even after gaining the “Truth” that is in God’s Word. What advice do you have for young people in college or transitioning into their first year of college? • Stay connected to God. Seek out a SpiritFilled Ministry to which your spiritual development can continue. Be selective of your friends as you encounter them and ensure that they share the same Godly Principles taught in the Word. Is it okay for a pastor to suspend a member of the church? And tell them they cannot go to any other church until the suspension time is up? • I may share a difference of opinion with that of my fellow colleagues, but the answer to the 1 st question would be a “yes” in the form of a release, if the person remained unrepentant after correction was made and they became a danger to others or the ministry. The answer to the 2 nd question is a “NO”, as we are guardians/guides to the sheep and not owners. I loved this experience to answer random questions, keep them coming via email: [email protected]. Pastor O BRIDGE2INDIA We are so glad to report that as a result of your giving to Foreign Missions, we were able to send our 1 st seed offering of $100. 00 to aide the people of India.
