Fireside Chat #16

QUESTIONS AND TIMES FOUND BELOW IN DESCRIPTION
Brothers Ray Mulligan, Peter Welk & Bob Henry sit down and share with us about their experiences of Christ at our fireside chat.
0:00 - Intro
1:12 - (Question 1) According to the news, Trump started a historic peace agreement between Israel and the UAE. Is this related to the consummation of the age? How? Also, I think some saints have said that someone who is Antichrist will make a deal between Israel and the Palestinians, and break it 3.5 years later. Is this that deal?
23:11 - (Question 2) I recently experienced an increased appetite for the Lord; however, prior to this time I could describe my experience in the church life as sitting at a buffet with food passing by me, one amazing dish after another. They come so fast that I begin to stop eating and begin to just let it go by. I no longer value the food because I have not been able to digest anything and eventually it all becomes a blur. Some saints turn away from the food entirely and have no interest. What can I do to fight this problem? Although I have somewhat come out on the other side of this experience, I'm so afraid that it will happen again, so I don't have any confidence in my ability to overcome this tendency. How do you stay freshly excited about the ministry?
49:18 - (Question 3) Often, I'm too stressed, worried, and anxious to contact the Lord in the morning. Many difficult situations are in my life lately. I always feel like I should be doing more to address those situations. How can I stop myself and calm myself down to spend time with the Lord? How can I focus on the Lord, in spite of all life's distractions and anxieties?
1:04:01 - (Question 4) How do you deal with lustful desires? I have talked with my friends, and we all struggle with this on a daily basis and continually mess up with pornography. Sometimes it seems uncontrollable. Nowadays you don't need anyone to act on your lustful desires. How can I stop? Any advice or fellowship you have would be appreciated.
1:26:37 - (Question 5) I find it hard to live Christ around my family. It's much easier to live Christ during the meetings. It's hard to live Christ around my family, especially when they do mean or inconsiderate things to me. How can we live Christ around those closest to us?
1:46:08 - (Question 6) On the subject of marriage, sometimes people are extremely spiritual, even weirdly so. Other times, they can be just focused on looks, etc. I was wondering, what factors did you brothers think about when considering who you should marry, and what was your experience in meeting your spouses and deciding to marry them?
