Dr. Ronnie Floyd and Dr. Jeremiah Johnston discuss the importance of prayer and individual relationships with God. “The country is broken because families are broken. Relationships are broken because we’re individually broken,” Floyd says. “We really have to take this on spiritually.”Floyd affirms the centrality of Scripture. “Begin your day with God,” he says. “That is the most valuable thing you can do in your life spiritually. God shows you brand new things all the time. The more I’m in His Word, the more I hear His voice.”
Knowing the Bible s a person filter through things in culture such a horoscopes, haunted houses and psychics, Johnston says. He answers a mother’s question who inquires if it’s okay for her daughter to read a horoscope. Again, Johnston iterates that a person should consult God’s word for its precious promises.
Daniel says through AskJJJ.com that he doesn’t feel saved. In reply, Johnston gives the wisdom that feelings are a dangerous barometer. Again, believing in the promises of God’s Word becomes the answer.
