Time for email.
You ready?
Go for it.
OK, this is Charles,
who says, I just
got honorably discharged
from the army after 12 years.
My wife left me after over
eight years of marriage--
committing adultery,
getting pregnant,
and moving our six year old
son in with her and this man.
They justify this
with my past anger
issues, which I got help for.
Now they take my son
to church with them.
I've received a word from
God about our marriage
being restored on more than one
occasion, and have been fasting
and praying for months, still
supporting our son and her.
My son's stands in faith
with me and detests this guy.
What can I do?
I'm not sure you've heard
from God about this--
your wife is not exactly, you
know, a model of fidelity.
She's committed
adultery, and they're
living with another guy.
But what I do think you
deserve is visitation
rights with your child.
So you ought to
bring that the court
and get legal concern and
control over your son.
But beyond that, I think
you ought to let her go.
I think she's, you
know-- of course,
the Bible has an
example of somebody
who had a wife who
was in prostitution,
and he kept taking her back.
And so you could tell your wife,
you know, I'll take you back,
but I'm not going to give you
but one chance, and this is it.
And if she doesn't want to do
it, well, that's all right.
OK.
This is trinity, who
says, I'm an 11 year old
who screams at my parents.
I want to be a good kid.
I just feel violent sometimes.
I try to harm myself.
I need some help.
Can you pray for me,
and what can I do?
Well, I think what
you need to do,
frankly, is to ask
your parents-- you've
got a condition
that probably takes
a psychiatrist with knowledge
of hormones, and so forth.
Your hormones are raging,
they're out of control.
As you get older, things
might settle down,
but I know you don't
know what to do,
because you're out of control.
And I'm surprised your
parents already haven't
gotten professional help.
Of course, the big thing now,
they just slip a kid Ritalin
and quiet him down, and that's
not what you need to do.
But it isn't just
emotional that's wrong.
There's a-- your whole mental
and physiological system is out
of control, and you need
help professionally.
Of course we'll
pray with you, but I
do think you need to-- and
any parents listening to me,
a Christian psychiatrist
who is well versed
in pharmacology to get
this thing under control.
All right.
OK, this is Jean, who says,
is it OK as a Christian
to sue a doctor for
medical malpractice
if a life has been
majorly altered?
The answer is yes,
and I'll tell you why.
These doctors all have
malpractice insurance,
and the insurance
is set up for people
who doctors injure, by
mistake or what have you.
So the idea of
suing, what'll happen
is the insurance company
will write a check,
and it will help.
So I mean, that's
part of our system,
and I don't think
there's anything wrong.
Just don't have hatred in
your heart against the doctor.
OK, this is Tori, who
says, I'm scared to walk out
of my bedroom.
I always feel like
I'm being watched.
Is there any way I can get
that thought out of my head?
I want to feel safe.
Perfect love, cast out fear.
Fear is torment.
You need to get wrapped
up in the love of God,
and you need to get into
the presence of God,
and stop thinking
about yourself.
You obviously are
thinking about yourself.
You're afraid that something
is going to happen to you.
So if you focus on Jesus and
say, I'm going to focus on Him
and praise Him, I'm
gonna receive the answer.
