Questions from the Body of Christ :: by Mark A. Becker

Published on: by RR7

Greetings in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. One God – Three within the One – working in perfect love and harmony.

One of the things I really enjoy doing with the ministry the Lord has blessed me with is answering questions of believers and unbelievers alike. The questions people have never cease to amaze me; most I have never even considered myself.

If you or someone you know has a question pertaining to the Word of God – theology, difficult passages, eschatology, etc. – I would really like to hear from you.

I’m not sure exactly how this will work regarding possible future articles. It may turn into a series, or some questions might inspire complete articles. The one thing I do know is that your submitted questions are more than likely questions other people have had, and it could very well help to edify and equip the body of Christ. And that’s the goal. To honor Christ and His Word, and to unite His bride in love and knowledge of Him.

If I end up going the series route, and you would like to have your name and/or place of residence listed on the question, please specify with your submitted question; otherwise, if I use your question, it will be listed as “Anonymous.”

Regardless, I will make every attempt to answer every person’s questions in response to the emails I receive. Depending on volume, it may be a little while until you hear back from me, but my intention is to respond to all inquiries.

Now, for the other matter that’s on my heart: Witnessing for the Lord and spreading the gospel.

My appeal to all my brothers and sisters in Christ has always been the same – to fulfill the Great Commission.

I have written an article on this subject entitled, Answering the Call of the Great Commission, which has some practical ways you can help spread the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

You can access that article here https://www.raptureready.com/2020/09/07/answering-the-call-of-the-great-commission-by-mark-a-becker/ or https://www.faithwriters.com/article-details.php?id=205661

In the article, there is a link to Mark Cahill’s website – https://markcahill.org/ – for witnessing products, as well as great videos and books to help you with your witnessing to the lost. And, I’m certain Mark will make himself available to you if you have any questions for him.

My article, Why Am I Here and What Is It All About? was written to the unbelieving seeker and might be used as a tool in your hands to help spread the gospel of Christ. You can print it out and leave it on the desk of a co-worker, hand it to the store clerk, give it to the staff at your next medical appointment, or email it to a family member or friend who doesn’t know the Lord. Be creative!

There, too, is a link to Mark Cahill’s excellent book, One Heartbeat Away – https://markcahill.org/product/one-heartbeat-away/ – that we purchase in quantity and give out to the lost, and is recommended reading for the seeker.

Thank you so much for being a faithful witness for our God and Savior, Jesus Christ; and if you haven’t been witnessing for the Lord, I urgently encourage you to do so. Step out in faith and make a difference for the Kingdom!

Everyone should desire to hear those words from our Master, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”

May the Lord richly bless you and yours as you bless others through Him and for Him. Keep reaching out to the lost, as we don’t have much time left — I believe we are living on borrowed time!

I look forward to hearing from you with your questions!

Love, grace, mercy, and shalom in Messiah Yeshua, and Maranatha!

Mark

Thou Art the Son of God :: By Geri Ungurean

Published on: by RR7

“But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

“And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

“But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

“But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

“And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God” (Matthew 14:24-33).

Brethren, the times we are in are without a doubt troubling and scary. We love our Lord Jesus, and we know that He has all things in His hand. We know that He is in control of everything. But we are still in this flesh that fails us.

Paul spoke of this, and his words have helped me so many times in my walk with Christ:

“For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

“Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

“For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

“For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

“O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin” (Romans 7:14-25).

How many times have we felt this way? We want to do that which is right. We want to believe and have the faith that we know we should have. But we fail at times, don’t we? Our wicked flesh wars against our mind; and in our mind, we have His Word.

“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee” (Psalm 119:11).

So, brothers and sisters in Christ, we must pray for one another and encourage one another in these times. We must take the Hand of our Lord as He reaches out for us through His holy Word.

We must keep our eyes focused on Him and not on the turmoil which thrashes about us like the waves of the sea.

And when we stumble and fear grips us, we must know that the Lord understands and is waiting patiently for us to take our eyes off of the things which frighten us and back onto Him.

He has given us His Word to sustain us, especially in times like these.
