Asking For A Friend: Part 10

Today we discuss responses to the follow questions: 1. The Bible says God has not given us a spirit of fear. What does that mean? Are there particular spirits of depression, addiction, bitterness, lust, etc. that need to be cast out? 2. In a culture where sexuality and gender expression are in the spotlight, how do we reach out to a culture that is being told their biological sex is interchangeable? Should we use pronouns? 3.How do we take the plank out of our own eye? I can be so critical of others and see everyone’s flaws. In my mind I have solutions to fix the problems of others, but when it comes to myself I struggle to make needed changes or exercise self-discipline. I know the Holy Spirit is working in me and through me but it feels like nothing changes. 4. How do Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons understand the nature of God? How do Christians dialog with them in a meaningful way?
