Pastor Mark and I pick up on the conversation I had with Angela about American Christianity and sex. We discuss how God wants us to use sex. How God is an integral part of our sex lives. And how we can misuse sex in our lives.

Angela and I discuss how non-believers perceive Christianity's view on sex in the world. We discuss how rigged the Christian perspective comes off. What differences and similarities do Christians and non-believers share in their view of sexual relationships. And we discuss are certain ideas outdated.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all believe in the same God. Pastor Mark and I discuss the relationship between the three religions. How they relate, how they differ, and how Christians should engage the people of the Book.

People who believe that everything happens for a reason recover more quickly and better in hospitals. Having a positive outlook on life literally improves the quality of our lives. Angela and I discussed this idea and how it has affected her life. Enjoy one of the best episodes we've ever had on the Illegal Alien podcast.

Jeremiah 29:13 "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Pastor Mark and I discuss seeking God with all our heart. My failures at achieving this promise, and what I can do to seek God with all my heart.

John 10:27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." 1 Samuel 3:9 Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. God wants to communicate with us and is speaking to us. We just need to learn to drown out the noise and learn to hear Him. Mark I discuss learning to listen to God. Whether it is through the Word or another mode in which God chooses to communicate with each of us.

Pastor Mark and I conclude our discussion of anger with being angry at ourselves. We concluded that not only is it okay to be angry with God, but God also prefers that our anger be directed at Him. What God doesn't want is for us to be angry at each other. There is no scenario where anger towards our fellow man is acceptable to God. We can be angry in the moment, but we must forgive as God forgives. Lastly, we discuss anger towards ourselves. I believe humans punish themselves far worse than they punish others. Is this okay with God?

Angela and I discuss sin. The commonly held belief that sin is doing evil or bad in the eyes of God. We contrast that belief with the literal translations of 'sin' in both Greek and Hebrew. In both languages, 'sin' means missing the mark in archery. We conclude with the notion that to God, missing the mark can be worse than doing evil.
