Do you think God intentionally withholds specific blessings from us? For example, if we make the decision not to tithe, would he withhold a financial blessing?

Patricia asked ...

I have a huge question. I am a nurse and right now I am watching as one of my residents is slowly dying of bone cancer. I know most certainly that she is not a christian and I don't think she really cares. I am not sure how to even bring up the topic. She is not a position where I can envite her to church. I am worried that when the time comes, she will go to Hell. Have you got any ideas?

I am a woman who is just coming out of an emotionally abusive relationship and feeling kind of lost! It never got to the point of physical violence but there has been more than enough name calling and degrading and belittling. I am trying to turn my life around and discover why I choose these types of men in my life and stop myself from doing so. I want so much to find the fairy tale happines I have always dreamed of but just don't think it exsists for me. I have tried different religious avenues and just feel I don't fit in at any of them or anywhere for that matter. Please help me find the strength within myself to either get help or something.... any advise you can offer will be greatly appreciated

I have been happily married to a wonderful man for several years now. Lately, I find myself attracted to a man I work with and, today, I asked him out to lunch. In the eyes of God, am I being unfaithful to my husband by going to lunch with this man that I am attracted to?

I had a great question sent in this week ... I was researching the whole oath to God thing this morning and had another question. I looked mainly at Matt. 5:34-37 and James 5:12 and they both seem to agree with what you said last night about not taking a oath in God's name and that in Deut. 6:13 it is talking about a commitment to God. The commentators all agree with you as well, although some seemed to indicate that these passages only refer to everyday type of oaths and that it is permissible to take an oath in God's name for serious matters and as a legal requirement. However, last night I kept thinking that there was a time when God swore by himself but I wasn't sure, so I looked it up this morning. It is in Gen. 22:16 and referred to again in Heb. 6:13. How do you square that? If God swore an oath by himself, is it wrong for us to do so as well? How much of the controversy is due to people making light of it and not taking it seriously like when it says that it is better not to make a vow at all then to break one? That people throw promises around without thinking instead of just being honest and reliable all the time as indicated by needing to let your yes be yes and your no be no?

We are a one income family, and usually by the time the paycheck has been deposited, the money has already been spent on necessities. Do you think we should still tithe, even if means running up credit card debt?

I just finished reading your sermon on marriage and divorce. I have been married for several years, but most of those years have been unhappy ones. We are both believers, there's no adultry or abuse going on, but in general our marriage has never been a good one. My spouse has promised over and over to make changes for the better, but I have yet to see any changes. I am not perfect, but I am tired of being the only one making efforts to make this marriage work. I don't want to live the next 50 years this way. You suggested books or audio tapes about marriage - can you suggest some that might be helpful to us?

Since they are from the OT, are the ten commandments "outdated" for Christians as well?
