Ask Dr. E

Was Sexual Desire Present Before The Fall?

Q: Human beings seem to inherently be sexual beings. Was sexual desire present before the Fall? Or, put another way, did God create us to be sexual beings, or is it part of our fallen nature?

Q: If everything happens for a reason, and things are predestined to happen, then why do we pray? How does prayer change things? I struggle with this area in my Christian life, and I think partly because I don’t understand and don’t know if my prayer makes a difference.

How Do I Know if I Am Actually Growing?

Q: How Do I Know If I Am Actually Growing? If we’re not in God’s word, submitting to the control of God’s Holy Spirit and around God’s people, we can not grow. Nobody can continually grow on what they studied in the past if they are no longer in the Word. Are you asking God’s Spirit to control you?

God's Match

The Biblical Lens of Marriage

Hebrews 4:12 tells us that the word of God is living and active, and that it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. If this is true, how important might the study of God’s Word truly be in relation to the health and strength of our marriages? What if the more we delve into God’s Word, the more happy, healthy, and holy our marriages become?

Biblical Marriage

God's Match

The Bible and Marriage

The Bible opens with a marriage and closes with a marriage, and there are stories permeating the entire text about good and bad examples of marriage. Certainly God cares about your marriage and has plans to use your marriage for His eternal purpose and plan. But God’s Word doesn’t speak on it’s own, you have to open it, read it, study it, and apply it. But how do we do it? Join Michael and Cindy as they discuss just that.
