Questions in this Episode

What is your interpretation of the new wine skins in Luke 5?
In 2 Tim 1:7, it says, “for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love.” I know that. What I am struggling with is I don’t know how this apple sto COVID. I want to be cautious and not harm others, but how should we apply this verse today?

My wife and I are separated and I am wondering if there really is biblical grounds for divorce as Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 7.
What is the difference between evangelical theology and Reformed theology?
