Should Christians Flee from Progressive States?

Questions in this Episode

  1. Why doesn’t forgiveness equate to reconciliation?
  2. I am from Southern California and we’ve been hearing a lot of pastors telling people that they should leave the state and let it be judged by God. They say that the church is the one thing preserving the state from total judgment. How do you feel about that living out here?
  3. Can there be demonic influence in the church?
  4. Is Jesus the only one with a resurrection body?
  5. How is grace given to us in sanctification?
