Navigating Integrity and Prayer in Ministry

Today's Time Stamps:

1. 0:02 {Flat Earth Use of Scripture} Do I still say that Flat Earthers misuse Scripture?
2. 22:11 {Why Some Reject & Some Accept Faith} Could you help me answer the Calvinist who asks what the difference is between a person who has faith and a person who rejects faith? If we are all equally sinful, why do some choose Christ?
3. 31:15 {Why My Prayer Isn’t Answered} How can I tell why a prayer hasn’t been answered? How do I know if I just have to wait longer, or if some sin is hindering my prayer, or if the answer is simply “no”?
4. 40:50 {The Bible: Chronological Order?} Is it helpful to read the Bible in chronological order?
5. 44:31 {The “Who” of Romans 7} Who is Paul talking about in Romans 7? Himself, some hypothetical believer, or someone else entirely?
6. 51:29 {Single but Living As Married} My fiancée moved in, is sleeping with me, using my credit card, is on my home title and health insurance, and we’re filing taxes jointly. But our wedding ceremony is not until 2027. I want to break up with her. Is that OK since we’ve made no vow yet before God?
7. 55:08 {Sin Before The Law} In Romans 5:13, what does it mean that sin was not counted against those before Moses gave the law? Did all those people receive eternal salvation?
8. 1:01:54 {Are You Reformed?} I think you've said that you consider yourself Reformed, and I wondered what you mean by that. What Reformed doctrines do you accept besides the ones that constitute basic orthodoxy?
9. 1:04:26 {Does Porn Disqualify from Ministry?} What are your thoughts on pastors struggling with porn/lust? Is it disqualifying? I stepped out of ministry to heal. Many ministers my age (23) struggle. Please pray. I’ve seen progress, but I still fight.
10. 1:10:05 {Evangelism amid Difficult Family Dynamics} What’s the appropriate way to navigate being an uncle and sharing the truth with nieces/nephews when your sibling doesn’t have a biblical worldview?
1:18:41 Bonus – Prayer Request: Can you please pray for my mom? She’s been diagnosed with breast cancer. Her prognosis looks good, but we are praying for God's miraculous and complete healing.

I'm taking questions from the live chat... here are the rules:

I do this live stream most Fridays at 1 p.m. Pacific Time. You're welcome to join.
To ask a question during an upcoming stream, you'll need to follow these instructions:
1. Don't post your question before you see me live on camera.
2. Post questions as comments in the LIVE chat at the beginning of the stream.
3. Post your question with "Q" at the beginning so we can easily identify that you are sending it in as a question for me and not just a comment in the chat.
4. Try to be as clear as possible so I won't misunderstand the question. Keep in mind that I don't know anything about your question other than what you type in that short comment.
5. Include specific verse references when possible or applicable.
6. Only one question submitted per subscriber, per stream, please. Submitting the same question into the chat a few times is OK.
7. Please understand that we don't strictly take the first 10 questions submitted. Our team takes several factors into consideration.
8. You can also check the "Clip Search" on BibleThinker.org in advance to see if your topic of interest has already been covered in a past session. I try not to answer the same questions over and over, so you may find what you need there.
