- Welcome back.

It's time for YourQuestions, Honest Answers.

This one, Pat, from Lisa.

Pat, she says, Pat, allmy life my heart's desire

was to be totally sold out to the Lord.

I know how wonderful itis when God is allowed

to use you.

The problem is that I get in my own way.

So my question to you is:

How do I get out of my own way long enough

for the Lord to do a work inme and in others through me?

Thank you for blessingme and so many others.

- First of all, if I wereyou I would stop trying

to analyze things.

You know we analyze thingsto death and I think

that's something Irecommend you stop doing.

The other thing is theapostle Paul said of a truth

in Christ I lie not, Idie daily and you know

you and I need to die and you'reso worried about yourself,

how do I get myself out of the way, well,

just try dying.

I mean really, forgetyou and start thinking

about the Lord.

You're too focused onyou and what do they say?

Paralysis of analysis, you got that.

All right, what's next.

- That's good.

This viewer says I'm ayoung person and am a little

confused on the subject of Christian rock.

Some bands have manytattoos and ear piercings

and I'm not sure that Godwould want a Christian

to dress that way.

I'm really struggling on this subject.

Please help.

- You know if you readthe old testament it was

considered a disgraceto cut yourself and to

tattoo your body, that wassomething the heathen did.

It meant that it was a markof some of the heathen worship

and it's wrong frankly.

I mean all these tattoos and piercings.

It's unbiblical you seeand I don't think a group

that claims to be Christian,I know they say well

we want to reach theunchurched and so forth,

I just don't think we have to give up our

Christian standards in orderto reach the unchurched,

I just don't think that's necessary.

All right.

- All right, Jaime says hi Pat.

Why do some churches baptizein the name of Jesus Christ

and some in the name of theFather, Son and Holy Spirit?

- Well because that's what thebible says in both of them.

I baptize you in the nameof the Father, the Son and

the Holy Spirit, that's oneand in Jesus' name is another.

I do it both ways, I say Ibaptize you in the name of

the Father, the Son, theHoly Spirit, in Jesus' name

so I kind of covered whichever it is.

- [Presenter] You cover all the bases.

- I cover all the bases.

- I go baptized twice just in case,

no I didn't, I got baptizedonce in Rockford, Illinois, Pat.

And then once in the Jordan river.

- Well, amen.

You know Ben Kenstall andI, we baptized 59 people

at Jordan on ChristmasDay, it was quite a,

59 people, all right.- Oh my goodness.
