Dana, Bluffton, SC - My neighbor knows I'm a believer. She asked me to explain how God, Jesus and Spirit are three in one. She was raised Catholic. I don't feel I was very good at explaining. We have only lived here a year and just started listening to you. You probably have this explanation in a sermon or radio question before. Please let me know where to find the teaching or radio broadcast on the this subject.

Stan, Beaufort, SC - Recently, a person we are close to has begun to show interest in Calvinism. Stating that a friend he debated made a really good argument regarding election. He quoted Acts 13:48 and asked us, what do you do with this verse that says as many as were ordained to eternal life believed? We tried to show him all the scriptures that show that we must believe, then we are saved, like John 6:47, 20:31, 3:16 etc. and that there are more verses on this than the few verses the Calvinist use. I. said you need to look at the whole of scripture not just those verses. He said that he is a four point Calvinist and that God is talking about the "elect" and that only those people would believe, because God elected them; and that is what he keeps going back to. He said that Christ did not die for Adolf Hitler and I said what about Paul he was a murderer, and Adolf Hitler didn't believe. He said that is because he was not elected but Paul was. He also said that many great men like Charles Spurgeon, George Whitfield, and even pastors today like Erwin Lutzer and John Mcarthur, to name a few, are Calvinist. I was shocked to hear this, Is this true, or are they/their name and many others, being used to push this agenda? Thank you for any knowledge on this subject, and the Acts verse, that you might share. I'm praying that he'll come to see the truth of God's Word more clearly and discerningly.

Vicki, Port Royal, SC - Hello pastor Broggi, first let me say how blessed we are to have your preaching available at anytime. I’m currently working through your sermons on Daniel and it is astounding how much it relates to Revelation. But the question I have is about a book I own entitled “The Apocrypha” it’s volume 1. I would like your opinion on whether I should read it and what are your thoughts on why these books were taken out of the Bible. I value your teaching and if reading this book would be detrimental to my walk with the lord, I hope you will say that. I have read some of Enoch and it is so much more intense than my American Standard edition. Thank you again for your courageous stand on Gods truth.
