Q) What does verse 10 teach us about the Christian faith? A) Verse 10 teaches us that Jesus the Christ is not only Gods Son and will return soon, but He also was risen from the dead, thus making him our Savior. It also teachs us that Gods rath is coming against sin. Q) Which of these elements are most important? A) Every one are equally as important because they are foundational truths which are at the core of the Gosple. Q) Which are less important? A) None Q) Which are underemphasized by the church in our day? A) Unfortunatlly I see that Gods rath is coming against sin is least spoken of and underephasized in the church today. I think that is because Pastors and teachers are afriad of losing members.

A) It is so important for imitation to be in the Christians spiritual life, People will look to others and how they act Q) What kinds of ministry are most conducive to imitation?

They are always watching me, studying me, seeing how I react to "Lifes Unexpected Situations". which sucks sometimes because I always have to be on my gaurd.

Q) Why is the Holy Spirit's working so necessary to effective ministry? A) The Holy Spirits working is so necessary to effective ministry because it is through that working that the hearts of men shall be converted. That is when the people will see God -vs- the man. Its the power of the Holy Spirit that teaches us how to speak and move according to Gods will for the deep convictions of the people. Q) What happens when the main power behind our ministry is will-power? A) When our main power is will-power in our ministry the ministry will be in-effective. you may have some come to the saving knowledge and grown in there maturity, but it will not be as effective. The ministry will slowing begin to deteriate from the top until it is fized out. The power of the Holy Spirit is a sustaining power that is effective in the overall spiritual growth of the body of Christ. Without the Power of the Holy Spirit in your ministry you are out of the will of God. Q) What is the role of miracles in Paul's evangelism? A) The role in the miracles in Pauls evangelism is the deep conviction resulting in repentance and faith in Christ. This is also evedance that the Holy Spirit was in the mist. Q) What would happen if we saw miracles in evangelism in our day? A) If we saw miracles in evangelism in our day there would be more who would fall into belief. Q) What is hindering this? A) Rationalized unbelief

Q) Why do you think there was so much strong opposition to Paul's ministry in Thessalonica? A) There was such a strong opposition to Paul and his Ministry in Thessalonica because there was a transformation in the lives of the people there. High officals were coming to the belief system of Christ. There were countless people of all walks, especially those who were on the fence, being effected to the growth of Pauls Ministry; resulting in the loss of support both finacially and numerically to the religous leaders of the Jews. This caused jealousy amoung the Jewish Leaders. Q) Why do you think Paul keeps preaching the gospel, even though there is often a violent reaction against him? A) Paul keeps preaching the gospel, even though there was often a violent reaction against him because he was determined to preach the Gosple by any means nessessary. He saw and knew that the Power of God was working amoung the people. The Holy Spirit was literally breaking down the walls of religion in that city, saving men and women alike directly from the paganistic ideology that had influenced their minds. Q) Does a violent reaction to our ministry necessarily mean we should stop? A) In some cases, I believe that a violent reaction is a physical representation of the actual battle in the spiritual relm. Unfortunently physical bodies are hurt in that process. Sometimes we may have to retool the process of the ministry(God inspired), but as long as we dont retool the Gosple, I believe souls will still be saved and God will still recieve all glory...

From the standpoint of power, what is the significance of Paul's statement that "God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus...."? To let us know that we are in the same position of authority with Christ Jesus over all. We have the ability to speak to situations and principalities from a level of commanding -vs- pleading... That same power should be excersized in the churchs (both physical and structual) today...
