Time to bring it on with the email questions

that you all have sent in.

And this first one, Pat, comes from Mary Beth, who

says as a new employee, I work with someone

who doesn't acknowledge anyone before 7:00 AM

even though his day begins at 4:30.

Also, after completing one job, he

requests the lights be turned off for quote, "quiet time."

The employee has been here 20 years.

I've never experienced a situation like this.

The boss doesn't arrive until 9:00 a.m.

Should I say something?

You give so much great Christian advice,

and I'd love to hear from you.

Well, I think you might say, suck it

up and go ahead and live it.

What are you going to do?

The guy is a little weird, but he's a daily worker.

He comes in early, he works hard,

and he wants to kind of chill out

for a few minutes before the next task.

So if you don't like what he's doing, go to the lunchroom.

I mean, that's what I would recommend.

I certainly wouldn't report him to the boss

and make you look bad.

Rejoice that you don't have to be there at 4:30.

That's right.

OK.

This is Edward, who says, I've heard

it said that when you pray and talk to God,

you do not have to be on your knees, head down,

eyes closed to pray.

I talk to God throughout the day.

At work, when driving, etc, but is it different

when saying grace before a meal?

Can you give thanks without closing your eyes

and bowing your head?

I don't understand the difference, here.

Please advise, I want to get this right.

Jesus said, God is the spirit.

They that worship him worship in spirit and in truth.

It is the communion of your spirit with His spirit.

It has nothing to do with the posture of your body.

But really, what that bowing says that I

acknowledge your sovereignty.

And people kneel, they bow, and they

do so to say you are sovereign and I

am a creature made before you.

But if you're driving the car, I mean hey--

Don't close your eyes.

Yeah, don't close your eyes, keep driving.

But nevertheless, I mean, we pray 24 hours a day.

And the Bible says pray without ceasing.

Well, you can't pray without ceasing if you're on your knees

all the time.

So of course, it's an ongoing dialogue between your spirit

and the spirit of God.

Don't worry about posture and what you do.

That's not what important.

It's what's in your heart that's important.

This is Florence, who says, does God

want us to take medication?

I have a family always saying I need to take it.

And they even think it's God's will.

She doesn't say what her condition is.

I mean, you know need to know what the deal is.

I mean, a lot of times, people are all over-medicated.

They're being prescribed stuff that isn't good for them,

and they know it's not good for them.

They don't want to do it.

I'm one there comes a time when you just

don't want to take medicine.

They say, take this.

I'm not going to do it.

And we know what's going on in our body a lot of times more

than a doctor does.

So you must take it.

I mean, it isn't God's will or not God's will.

The medicine that he's given us is a blessing.

The medical technology is a blessing from God.

But what is it-- 90,000 to 100,000 people

die because of misdiagnosed medicine.

And then you have the issue of mental health

as well, where sometimes you need to be taking medication

to balance yourself chemically.

And it's typical that people who suffer from that

don't want to take it.

Well, elderly people who have a little dementia, they forget

what they're supposed to take.

I mean, it's too complicated to say it's God's will.

I mean, one of these two was made available to us

to bring us to some health.

But at the same time, Aleve, Extra Strength Excedrin,

NSAIDs, these other things, eat your stomach

and causes bleeding and people die, because

of prescribed painkillers.

Some of them over the counter.

Over the counter and people die.

That's right.

OK this is a viewer who says, the Bible defines father God

as light and as love.

It's clear that he sees all things and nothing is

hidden from him.

But I'm wondering, does father God have a face?

Does God have features like we are made in His image?

Well, when you saw Jesus, Jesus said, when you see me,

you've seen the Father.

And so the Father expressed himself through his son,

and he took on the form of a man.

But he's a spirit.

He's a spirit and does he have a face?

Well, we have what they call anthropomorphism's

that make us look like God has a face,

his hand is not shortened.

His face is toward you.

May his face shine upon you, that kind of thing.

But these are just expressions so we begin to understand.

But Jesus said, if you've seen me, you've seen the Father.

Well, that's all the time we have for today.

But thank you so much, and I thank all of you

for your questions.
