"Does a wall of sin build up over time between us and God?"

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

I felt sick while watching a movie scene, so I walked out. What was that exactly? Grieving or quenching the Spirit? Or was it my own spirit provoked within me? Or my conscience? And what if I had remained in the theater? Would my ministry effectiveness be blocked until I confess it? Does a wall build up between us and God when we sin? What are your thoughts on the spiritual disciplines?

"How do we walk by faith? How do we walk by the Spirit?"

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

How do we walk by faith and not by feelings? Aaron made an excuse for his sin, and God didn't punish Him? How can I know that God's gospel promises are for me individually? What do you think of Billy Graham? Is the Bible on audio a good approach to learning more? How do we walk by the Spirit consistently? What tools do we need? My wife and mother passed away on the same day a year ago. I can't help but think sometimes that it was God trying to tell me something; and it's just a lot to grieve all at once.

The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Why did Jesus tell people to "be perfect" when He knew we couldn't? What does it mean to have a new heart? A new spirit? What about our minds? Are they new or being renewed? I tell my friends that I don't have to help Jesus, and they look at me strangely. Am I right?
