Tools and Q&A
May 14-15, 2022
Daniel Im and Dr. Simon Sheh

First question:
· “I know there are dangers to the “prosperity gospel”. Do you have any thoughts on this? Is there a way to live in humility and expectation that God is good, does good, and has promised good to me, without going over into arrogance or it being about my faith/prayers/actions?”

Second Question:
· “How does the church interject in a person’s decision to see a doctor to die by suicide, without making that person feel shame for their choice?”

Third Question:
· “If my ex-husband is a follower of Jesus and has been a slave to sexual sin/adultery, how can he declare Jesus as his Lord and Saviour, but not change his behaviours?”

Fourth Question:
· “I work for AHS and I’m a nurse that works in a clinic (and in a hospital setting) that has been doing terminations of pregnancy. My moral code as a nurse says I have to help those who require my assistance, without casting judgement. My question is this, am I complicit and sinning when I do my job and assist the patient or the doctor? (My role in one area is to set up equipment and record the things occurring. My role in another area is to help the woman push out the baby that is being born asleep or so prematurely that it will likely pass away.) Am I sinning? My role is to do no harm and not to judge but I feel like the lines are so blurred.”

Fifth Question:
· “What does surrender look like? How do I surrender our “things” to God? How often do I need to surrender to be free? What does surrender look like daily? Is it hourly or minute by minute? And how do I connect with other people who want to be free of these thing(s)?”
