These Bible Q&A programs
always go by in a hurry.
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.40
Closing thoughts,
00:00:03.43\00:00:04.77
we'd like to do at the end here.
00:00:04.80\00:00:06.13
Pastor James,
we'll start with you.
00:00:06.17\00:00:07.50
Well, I like to encourage people
00:00:07.54\00:00:08.90
that the Bible
is like real estate,
00:00:08.94\00:00:11.57
location, location, location.
00:00:11.61\00:00:13.78
The immediate
context, the chapter context,
00:00:13.81\00:00:17.31
and the overall
biblical context...
00:00:17.35\00:00:19.18
When you have
questions about the Bible,
00:00:19.21\00:00:21.32
look at those three areas.
00:00:21.35\00:00:23.22
And you're going
to find many times
00:00:23.25\00:00:24.59
the answers in
the immediate context,
00:00:24.62\00:00:25.99
but sometimes you have
to go further than that,
00:00:26.02\00:00:27.66
and even to
throughout the whole Bible
00:00:27.69\00:00:29.59
to really get a good picture
00:00:29.62\00:00:31.13
of what the
answer's to your question.
00:00:31.16\00:00:32.49
I love that like real estate
location, location, location.
00:00:32.53\00:00:35.00
I love that.
00:00:35.03\00:00:36.36
I'll remember that.
00:00:36.40\00:00:37.73
Yeah, me too. Pastor Ryan.
00:00:37.77\00:00:39.10
You know, I just want
to address Marguerite again
00:00:39.13\00:00:40.47
from Transylvania.
00:00:40.50\00:00:41.84
Question about,
you know, marrying.
00:00:41.87\00:00:43.20
You said you were 28 years old,
00:00:43.24\00:00:45.07
but, you know, I can tell
that you're a godly woman,
00:00:45.11\00:00:47.11
godly young woman.
00:00:47.14\00:00:48.48
I just want to say don't
settle for just anything,
00:00:48.51\00:00:50.28
be patient, wait on the Lord.
00:00:50.31\00:00:51.65
I know you said,
"I'm 28! I want a husband.
00:00:51.68\00:00:53.82
But some people are
saying, don't marry,
00:00:53.85\00:00:55.88
you know, maybe God
wants you to be single."
00:00:55.92\00:00:57.35
You know, don't
listen to people.
00:00:57.39\00:00:58.72
Listen to God's Word.
00:00:58.75\00:01:00.09
And at the end of the day,
00:01:00.12\00:01:01.46
if you don't settle
and you just be patient,
00:01:01.49\00:01:02.82
the Lord will
send you the right man,
00:01:02.86\00:01:04.26
and it'll be a godly man.
00:01:04.29\00:01:05.96
Don't make the
mistakes that the sons of God
00:01:05.99\00:01:07.60
made with the daughters of man,
00:01:07.63\00:01:08.96
don't go out into the world.
00:01:09.00\00:01:10.33
Be patient, wait on the Lord.
00:01:10.37\00:01:11.70
And in His perfect timing,
He will send the right person.
00:01:11.73\00:01:13.50
Amen.
00:01:13.54\00:01:14.87
I want to address
that question too, actually
00:01:14.90\00:01:16.24
because I was
thinking about that,
00:01:16.27\00:01:17.61
you know, the Word of God says,
00:01:17.64\00:01:19.01
to delight yourself in the Lord,
00:01:19.04\00:01:20.38
and He'll give you
the desires of your heart.
00:01:20.41\00:01:22.31
There's many times in
my life where I have said,
00:01:22.34\00:01:25.68
"Well, God, but you're
not giving me the desire
00:01:25.71\00:01:27.25
that I asked for,
00:01:27.28\00:01:28.62
and what am I
supposed to do with that?"
00:01:28.65\00:01:30.19
We come before
God and we say, "God,
00:01:30.22\00:01:33.09
would you change my desire?
00:01:33.12\00:01:34.72
Would you give me
what you want for me?"
00:01:34.76\00:01:37.73
And come to Him
with an open heart
00:01:37.76\00:01:39.36
and seek to surrender
00:01:39.39\00:01:40.73
and He will
fulfill that in your life.
00:01:40.76\00:01:42.56
Amen. Amen.
00:01:42.60\00:01:44.00
Thank you, Pastor James,
and thank you, Pastor Ryan.
00:01:44.03\00:01:46.27
Thank you, Jill,
for joining us today,
00:01:46.30\00:01:47.64
and thank you as our
family for joining us.
00:01:47.67\00:01:49.40
I always like to
read this scripture.
00:01:49.44\00:01:51.27
2 Timothy 2:15,
00:01:51.31\00:01:52.71
"Study to show
thyself approved unto God,
00:01:52.74\00:01:54.74
a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed,
00:01:54.78\00:01:57.01
rightly dividing
the word of truth."
00:01:57.05\00:01:58.88
We'll see you next time.
00:01:58.91\00:02:00.25
God bless you.
00:02:00.28\00:02:01.62
Yay!
00:02:01.65\00:02:02.98
