[THEME MUSIC]
Well we want to take some
time to bring it on with some
of the e-mail you've sent in.
This first one comes
from DE who says,
can a sin reduce your heavenly
reward in the Kingdom of God?
I fall into some sins.
I get that I'm forgiven, but
I want my heavenly reward
in full.
Can you sin it away to
the point that there's no
turning back with the Father?
What is the heavenly reward?
It's Jesus.
Jesus is your reward.
Jesus is your inheritance.
You're a joint heir
with Jesus Christ.
That means everything
Jesus gets, you get.
And I love this wonderful
phrase, God's great plan
from the beginning of time-
everything for everybody.
So you can't lose that.
You can't lose.
That's wonderful news.
Now what happens?
What happens when you sin?
Well it cuts your relationship
with God in the here and now.
It blocks you-- not because
God gets mad at you.
Because you can't
see through the sin.
So I encourage
people, stop whatever
it is that you're doing that's
violating your conscience.
Stop it.
Have that wonderful
relationship with him,
and have there be short
accounts with God.
If you need forgiveness,
turn away from it,
get that forgiveness,
and move on with him.
Got time for one more.
We don't, because it's
a long one so you've
got to wait until Monday.
GORDON: It's a long one?
Alright, we'll wait till Monday.
And we'll have the
very long question
that I can't answer
in 30 seconds.
But there's a wonderful
challenge in that was.
I was ready for the
challenge, but Terry wasn't.
TERRY: I didn't trust you.
And now-- we have
trust issues here--
I'll leave you this
word from 2 Corinthians.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and
where the Spirit of the Lord
is, there is freedom.
And there's the ability to
answer questions, and have
a trust and have wonderful
love for one another
and forgiveness.
It's great.
God bless you.
We'll see you Monday,
where we're going
to answer a very long question.
