We've got a few questions before we say goodbye.

We do.

Let's bring it on.

This first one comes from Carol, Pat,

who says, "My sister asked me to go on a trip with her.

We'll be staying in a motel.

She just informed me that we'll be

staying one night with her son and his boyfriend, who

live in the area.

Is it wrong for me to stay there?"

Now, wait a minute.

You're telling me the son is--

TERRY MEEUWSEN: It's her nephew.

--a homosexual.

TERRY MEEUWSEN: Mm-hm, right.

He's a nephew?

It's her sister's son, mm-hm.

Sister's son, and he's living with this guy,

and they're having a--

it's not just like friends, but it's--

No, it's his boyfriend, it says, yeah.

Is it wrong to stay there?

I think you would be crazy to stay in that environment,

frankly, if you're a dedicated Christian.

I think it will put you in a compromising situation

that you don't want to be in.

That's awkward.

It's awkward.

Extremely awkward.

Your sister, yeah.

All right.

OK.

"Dear Pat, does God want us to take care of ourselves

first, or put others first?

Well, let's see what the Lord said.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

And if you don't love yourself, if you

don't have any kind of self-esteem,

you have a real hard time loving anybody else.

So I really think that it isn't self-love

like you want to look at yourself and say,

I'm just the greatest.

But if you don't have some kind of self-esteem yourself,

you have a hard time reaching out to others.

That's what the Bible says.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

So, you know, if you don't feel you are worth anything,

you won't do anything for them.

So that's the rule.

All right, next question.

Debbie wants to know what you eat for breakfast.

Healthy baby, healthy.

No, I eat berries.

I have mixed berries and I eat blueberries.

And I eat nuts.

I have mixed nuts, which I like a lot.

And then I have either oatmeal--

you know, not cooked oatmeal.

I just stick to dry oatmeal.

You eat dry oatmeal?

Oh, you just mean you put milk or something--

I put milk on it--

TERRY MEEUWSEN: Oh, thank you.

--or orange juice on it, or water, or something--

I was going to start whinnying if you--

No, I don't eat--

but I eat that, or maybe some bran, Raisin Bran.

And that's very healthy.

But those nuts and berries are the answer.

Microorganisms there that are so good for you.

All right.

Micronutrients, I should say.

Yeah.

This is Lorraine.

She says, "Does God forgive us of all our sins--

past, present, and future?

And can a Christian reach the tipping point

of no return for a sin?"

Listen.

If you are concerned about things,

then you haven't reached any tipping point.

And I really think God will forgive

70 times 7, is what the Lord said, over and over again.

He is so good.

He's so kind and so loving.

So the answer is, yes, God will forgive us our sins.

But the Bible says you're not supposed

to keep on-- if you've been born again,

you do not continue in sin.

And if you keep on doing the same thing over and over again,

you'd better question whether or not

you've really been born again.

You've got to, you know, sooner or later,

if you have been born of the spirit of God,

you will start living for the Lord

and you won't be sinning all the time.

This is Richard, who says, "Pat, my wife and I have been

saved for 39 years and always tithe 10% of our gross income

as well as any financial blessing to the Lord.

We are retired now and only living on Social Security.

Does the Lord require tithing 10% on our Social Security

check, when we already tithed on the gross income for 39 years

faithfully?

We want to do the right thing before the Lord."

Well, look.

God isn't some Philadelphia lawyer,

and He isn't some New York banker.

He's not keeping score of all that stuff.

But the answer is, you have built up a substantial credit

with the Lord and I think that He

would want you to live your retirement years in peace.

And if you're happy giving a part of your Social Security,

by all means, do it.

But we're not under obligation.

That's something for the Old Testament.

We're to give out of the heart as we love the Lord.

And so everything we have belongs to Him,

and we keep what He lets us keep.
