Our annual Q Series is where folks send their questions to me on a variety of subjects and we do our best to answer them. This week we tackled questions like:

• What does Christ’s Parable of the Sower mean?
• Can people lose their salvation?
• Are micro-chips implanted in humans the start of “the mark of the beast”?
• What does “666” stand for?
• Why aren’t all of my prayers answered?
