Why You Won’t Be Seeing Much of Me for a While: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 77)

0:00 - Intro
1. 0:13 {Where’s Mike Going?} Why won’t you be seeing much of Mike for the next 3 months, and how can we help support Ben Schettler who was recently attacked while speaking?
2. 16:36 {If We’re Priests & Kings, No Alcohol?} The Bible doesn’t condemn drinking alcohol, but the two types of people in the Old Testament forbidden to drink were the priests and the kings. Since we are now both, shouldn’t that apply to us?
3. 25:25 {Trusting God On Earth} I struggle to trust God with my earthly life. I trust Him with my soul and salvation, but since He never promised comfort here, I am unable to depend on Him for my future, like finances or marriage. Any advice?
4. 33:34 {Bad Trees Bearing Good Fruit?} How can we reconcile Matthew 7:15-20 and Matthew 21-23 (or do we even need to)? If a bad tree cannot bear good fruit, how can those with the appearance of good fruit be rejected?
5. 40:44 {Why did OT Jews Miss the Gospel?} I recently watched your Romans series and finished Romans 4. My question is, it seems Paul makes salvation through faith an obvious concept in the Old Testament. If so, then why did many Jews seem to miss it?
6. 53:39 {Universal Church: A Biblical Concept?} Is it true that in every example where the word “church” is used in the Bible, it refers to the local church? I’ve heard people say there’s no such thing as the “universal church” in the Bible.
7. 58:34 {Sharing Unverified Testimonies?} Is it okay to show, as proof of the efficacy of your ministry, testimonies that you have not or cannot confirm entirely, such as healings via a prayer stream?
8. 1:05:49 {Must We Always Pray Before Eating?} Should Christians always pray before we eat?
9. 1:12:00 {Where/How did Sin Originate?} How did evil enter the hearts of Adam, Eve, and even Satan, since all were created good and in perfect relationship with God? Where did any inclination toward sin or evil desire originate?
10. 1:16:32 {Implementing Spiritual Disciplines: The “How”} Do you have any advice on implementing the spiritual disciplines?
