I wish I could answer everyone’s questions right away, but as I’ve explained at the aforementioned links (which everyone seeking my e-mail address is asked to read before they e-mail me), I can’t. That’s one of the functions of the local church. If you have an emergency situation or one that needs an immediate answer, you need to contact your pastor or a mature brother or sister at your church for help.
Thank you!īut for the handful of folks out there who haven’t read and followed the directions at those links, may I just gently and lovingly say this: demanding that I answer your e-mail/message immediately, or sending me multiple copies of the same e-mail/message over the course of a few days isn’t going to work for me, or for you. One of the things (among many) I appreciate is that upwards of 99.99999999% of you have read my e-mail/messages policy (linked in the first paragraph above) and the information at the Contact & Social Media tab (in the blue menu bar at the top of this page), and you have been extremely understanding and gracious when it comes to my limitations regarding answering individual e-mails/messages.
I don’t say that enough but I do – deeply. Just a brief note to all of my readers to kick off this edition of The Mailbag. “You shouldn’t be warning against for reason!”Īnswering the Opposition- Responses to the Most Frequently Raised Discernment Objections The Mailbag: “We need to stop relying on canned studies,” doesn’t mean, “We need to rely on doctrinally sound canned studies.”. The Mailbag: Can you recommend a good Bible study for women/teens/kids? “Can you recommend a good women’s Bible study?” If I get enough questions about a particular teacher, I’ll probably write an article on her.) Is She a False Teacher? 7 Steps to Figuring It Out on Your Own Popular False Teachers / Recommended Bible Teachers / search bar “Do you know anything about or his/her materials? Is he/she doctrinally sound?” In these potpourri editions of The Mailbag, I’d also like to address the three questions I’m most commonly asked: Remember, the search bar (at the very bottom of each page) can be a helpful tool! I’m not able to respond individually to most e-mails and messages, so here are some helpful hints for getting your questions answered more quickly. I also like to take the opportunity in these potpourri editions to let new readers know about my comments/e-mail/messages policy. Welcome to another “potpourri” edition of The Mailbag, where I give short(er) answers to several questions rather than a long answer to one question.
