Hello Friends,

It is time that we move on to out new topic. This one is a really great one that I am sure you will greatly enjoy. Our topic header is called Are you a fool, and the Title of this Sermon is Preliminary Forgiveness .

Please listen to the sermon at http://www.tagnet.org/sda-today/current_feature.htm then look at the thought provoking questions below and submit your thoughts and comments. We have been really excited about this series of Sermons from Herb Montgomery and really want to discuss the merit of what he is saying here. Don't be shy speak up and tell us your thoughts.

Here are some questions the correspond with the Sermon to get the discussion going.

Do you meet the requirements in scripture to be a fool? What do you think about what the sermon says on this issue?

What does Preliminary grace mean? Is there such thing as grace before grace? Is there anything we must do to first receive grace?

Does grace cancel out obedience? Explain this. If we are Forgiven by grace what does that mean about our lives and how we live? Is it Grace we follow or is it LAW? Is the Law our enemy?

Is there ANYTHING we can do to hide from God how Sinful we really are? Does He know when you will betray him in sin? And how does He react to it.

Are you trapped in the cycle of sin you can't break? Do you keep finding your self begging for forgiveness for repeated and repeated sins with no victory in sight? What breaks this cycle?

How did Jesus know how to interact with us and represent the Father?

Does God punish us with illness and personal disasters when we sin?

We look forward to you many thoughts and comments!
