This is a vast site, Jeff. I still think it’s crazy how you’re a preacher and yet you answer most of these questions. How do you do it all? Do you like, take turns answering questions, or do you devote an entire day answering things? Whatever you do I’m all for it.<\/p>\n
I want to see you in Heaven, Jeff. Like, I know God must smile so much when He sees you guiding others to the truth. I used to see this site on Google and think that this was one of those casual Christian answer websites until I started looking at the questions.<\/p>\n
I also applaud you for your answers. You don’t sugarcoat your replies. It’s all truth 100% backed by Scripture.<\/p>\n
Thanks for being you, Jeff; I really mean that. If I could give you a hug, I would. I may even shed a tear (or two or three). I know you’ll have a big reward in Heaven awaiting you. I just pray I get there. So umm, thanks, Jeff. You’re really deep for a preacher. Most aren’t.<\/p>\n
God bless.<\/p>\n\t
Thank you for the encouragement and the virtual hug. I just do what I can. I wish I could answer all the questions that come in, but I no longer can keep up. I have some people help me once in a while, but for the most part, it is just me. I try to answer two or three questions a day and when I can, I try to spend at least one day a week answering as many questions as I can.<\/p>\n
Keep up your own studies and make God your number one priority in life and you’ll make it.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
