Does the Holy Spirit have the same power as the others in the Godhead, or is it different? One verse that comes to mind is Matthew 24:36: "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only." Are there things that only the Holy Spirit knows? In what ways is He different than Jesus and the Father? 2. Jesus gave us the Great Commission in Matthew 28. I serve through music and many areas of church ministry, but whenever I hear sermons on evangelism, I feel like I’m still not doing enough for God. I know we all have different gifts, yet I constantly struggle with feelings of inadequacy. What am I missing? How do I know that I'm doing enough for the Lord? 3. I once read somewhere that God is displeased when Christians put themselves down. I struggle with feeling unworthy because I know I'm not holy or righteous, and I often feel like I can't do anything right. The Bible says, 'Love your neighbor as yourself,' but it's hard because I don't like myself. Are there Bible verses that say we shouldn't condemn or devalue ourselves? Thank you. 4. I have a very dear friend who told me she's pregnant. She's a bit anxious about Matthew 24:19. I recommended reading Psalm 91, but a question came to me: What does that verse in Matthew really mean? Why did Jesus give that warning? And how can it be seen in light of Psalm 91, which is especially for those who will experience the great tribulation? Does she have any reason to be afraid or worried? What is the meaning of Matthew 24:19? 5. How do transgression and iniquity relate to the objects in the Ark of the Covenant? So clearly, transgression has to do with the 10 commandments. But iniquity? And do the other items in the Ark, like the manna and Aaron's budding rod, have any relation to it? 6. Were the different races and ethnicities an intention of God during creation or a byproduct of sin? 7. I was wondering if you could shed some light on how Genesis 34 (the rape of Dinah and revenge by her brothers) relates to the gospel. I've heard that the whole Bible reveals the plan of salvation and points to Jesus, but I'm struggling to see anything but violence and revenge in this chapter. What is the spiritual lesson in Genesis 34? 8. I'm a Seventh-day Adventist and recently started a travel business as an independent travel agent. I’ve been struggling to balance my business with my faith. Is it acceptable to book travel for clients who will be traveling on the Sabbath, even if I am not doing the booking during Sabbath hours? Also, is it okay to book travel for clients who will be on vacation over the Sabbath, even if I don’t know how they will be spending that time? I want to make sure everything I do honors God and stays true to my beliefs. How do we balance work life with our faith? 9. Is it the law or grace that helps us enter Heaven? 10. I gave my life to Christ 3 years ago, and since then, I feel like my thoughts are evil continually. How can I go about fighting this? How do we fight evil thoughts? ➡️SUBSCRIBE https://bit.ly/3ABN_Subscribe 💗DONATE https://bit.ly/3ABN_Donate 📗FREE MONTHLY MAGAZINE https://bit.ly/3ABN_Magazine 🔗FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/3abn.org/ 🔗INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/3abn_official/ 🔗TWITTER https://twitter.com/3abn 🔗WEBSITE https://3abn.org/ Help 3ABN keep streaming the gospel to the world.
