I have a neighbor by the name of Sarah Encinitas who has been rushed to the hospital with kidney failure. I do not think she is a Christian, so please pray for her salvation and healing. Also please pray for a family friend by the name of Susan Walton. She has the flu really bad and has recently relapsed into a bad case of bronchitis. She is concerned; please lift her up in your prayers. Thanks. God bless. Zach 12/31/05

Dear Friday Study, I want you to know how much we appreciate your Bible Studies. Please keep them coming. We all enjoy them. Emma 12/27/05

This is just to let you know that you are loved and needed. As it is difficult to send cards because we are both blind, I wanted to send both of you a greeting. Timothy and Susan 12/22/05

This is a great Christmas Message (Wonderful Counselor)... I am forwarding it to everyone I know online and perhaps I shall print it and send it out as my Christmas Letter! Nancy 12/18/05

Ron, "The Advocate" was an excellent sermon. The real estate contract theme is something you certainly know well and was very descriptive of our contract with God through Christ. I really enjoyed it. God Bless You, Dennis 12/17/05

I'm very interested in exchanging links. I've gone ahead and posted a link to your site... Edward 12/15/05

When Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth," what did He mean? Dave 12/1/05 (In "Ask The Pastor")

I’m Eva Javeid Khokhar, from Pakistan! How are you, your beloved family, ministry & country at present? Hope in Jesus very well? I hereby want to introduce us to you. We are full time missionaries spreading the Gospel to the lost and under privileged... 11/30/05

You have my permission to use our Daily Encounter, "A Persistent Duck" on your website. A brief credit note at the end will be appreciated. Dick. 11/28/05

Blessings to you and your family Ron. My prayers have been with you during these times of such loss for you lovely people. The losses in my life have taught me that the Lord, of course, is the answer. With our eyes looking at Him we can walk forward with hope and love, instead of turning inward and resting in our loss. Thus darkness. The pain is real, and needs to be felt. Or it simply gets ignored or escaped from. From the experience of losing my mother and fiancée I am speaking as much from experience, as from my counseling background. Mourning is a very personal emotion. And real! Thomas 11/25/05

You both have given so much of yourselves in your ministry and now is another difficult hour. Our prayers are with you both as you remember Adele in the memorial service as well as in the future. Thank you for being there for both Adele and Mary over the many years. God be with you both. Chuck & Joan 11/23/05

Thank you so much for your continued prayers. I am still very sick with severe depression, Leukemia, and other medical problems. The prayer below made me feel so very loved. I read the entire prayers and knew the least I could do is prayer for everyone else on your list, which I have done. If you would please continuing praying for me and my son I would be gracious. Thank you, Ginny 11/20/05

Ron and Genevieve, We are praying that our Lord will give you HIS covering and strength and love. Jim & Sheryl. 11/18/05

Dear Ron, The Spirit in me greets the Spirit in you. The tears we shed in this time of "missing" are also tears of rejoicing in the release and relief of Adele Nilson Beckham into the loving arms of our most Loving God. Julie and I pray for the Comfortor to provide comfort as you allow both your lovely bride Genevieve to hold you and our Lord Jesus to embrace you with his ever-reaching and ever-lasting arms of grace and peace.

First I want to say that I am in the Military and have enjoyed for some time now receiving your emails. For some reason I have not been getting them for about a month now. This is the first chance I have had to get on the internet and try to re subscribe to it but my computer will not let me so I was wondering if there was anything else that I could do about that? If not I understand but I would love to continue to receive the word thru email. Melissa 11/3/05

Dear Ron & Genevieve, The Spirit in me greets the Spirit in you. Please receive Julie and my heart-felt sympathies and prayers during this time of earthly-to-heavenly transition for you dad. Two years ago, my dad went through similar circumstances and the Lord graciously received him; and this past February, my mom joined my dad in their new heavenly abode. The rich legacy that our parents give to each of us is life itself; how we live our lives for God's glory is the "frosting on the cake!" Take the time to breathe in God's grace, and breathe out life to others. Take the time to "get away" to be still and know that God's voice speaks peace and comfort, to bring you to a place of joy once more. Grace & Peace, Pastor Jerry & Julie 10/26/05

Don and I were very sorry to hear about Gen's dad. Our prayers are now for peace in the family and for Gen to be able to handle the stress that this has created. Our prayers are also with you Ron for everything you are going thru, both physically and emotionally. In His Love, Don & Faye 10/25/05

I pray for God's peace and direction would be with you at this time. May God meet all your needs according to his riches in glory. Jilanna 10/21/05

Dear Ron and Genevieve, I want to express my sincere condolences to you in the passing of your father. I know that we all grieve in our own way, but when my son died, a dear Christian friend of mine said, ":You cry because you will miss him but try to think of where he is, a place of perfect peace and with our LORD." It helped me so much to think of it that way. There comes a time when we all will face the death of a loved on, but if we know where they went,like my son Gale, it is easier to bare. Again, I am so sorry, Always, Your sister in Christ, Mary from Texas 10/21/05

Dear Ron, PLEASE PLACE PAUL AND DODIE ON YOUR MAILING LIST. THEIR EMAIL IS LISTED BELOW. THANX AND GOD BLESS, TODD 10/20/05

I always feels it is wrong to pray for ones self. Is this true? I cannot seem to get well, constantly sick, to the point my son a and wife are very concerned. I am at wits end. All I do day in and day out is pray for others but really my underlying msg is asking for self to be healed. I would like to be a member of the prayer team. I, also, would enjoy receiving weekly sermon and bible study by email. Thank you so much for including me. God Bless, Ginny. (An answer to Ginny was placed into "Ask the Pastor") 10/20/05

Please send me the weekly Bible studies and sermons by email. Eva 10/19/05

THANK YOU SO MUCH. You are an inspiration. My son Nick was married on September 30, 2005 to a very beautiful, kind, thoughtful, princess bride whom I also love dearly. I have advised her she is going straight through the gates when she reaches heaven. This woman was only dating my son for around 3 weeks and they went to a July 4th event. Nick dove into the lake and broke his neck. Kristen, the girl now his wife, saved my son's life. GOD then blessed me with purchasing a very small home where we could all live. We did have to have the house remodeled some. GOD, to date, is the only person who has helped. I think a lot of people out here think disabled people get a lot for the Government and other sources, well that is not true. We have never received any assistance.   Nick does get a small disability check and his medical bills are paid for but life is hard for these two. I am so touched by you calling and emailing I had to email and ask for your prayers for my son and his new wife. YES I DANCED WITH MY SON. The first part of the song I climbed onto his lap and the end of the song I held his hand and electric wheel chair and did as Jonathan did, danced the night away. This is one the the best moments in my life. God Bless You and Thank you so much. Mother of the Groom, Ginny 10/19/05

I just came upon your Bible study by accident today while searching for commentary on 1st Corinthians. My husband is teaching on 1st Corinthians chapter 2 tonight and is a little nervous, he hasn't taught in a long time. I found your thoughts on the chapter absolutely inspired. I have never heard it explained like this before. I will return to your web site often with my bible study Thanks, Eva 10/12/05

(From "Anonymous") Why when it comes to a crisis in the family, such as health issues, do the Christians in the family combat each other & there seems to be no application of the Word of God amongst them? 9/12/05 (Answer placed into "Ask The Pastor")

Ron, thank you for providing the Invocation for the Signal Hill Health Fair on Saturday. Your prayer is beautiful. I am not sure if there is going to be a organ donating entity there or not, but the girl that needs the bone marrow, Christina, and her parents will be attending. I think it is absolutely beautiful, you can tell your words are from God. Sandy 9/11/05

Here's a joke for the "humor" page:

Walking by, a minister saw his 5-year-old son and playmates find a dead robin.

Feeling that proper burial should be performed, the children had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased.

The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: "Glory be unto the Faaaather, and unto the Sonnn... and into the hole he gooooes.

Sandi 9/10/05

Also, have a few more names, which I received from friends of mine: Carrie, Susana, Sandy, Suzanne, Lovella, Pat, Judy, Mary Lou... Jan 9/7/05

Chris, Thank you for your sermon on "The Gift of God". I find myself "worrying" that I'm not doing enough even though I know it's about what He did and not what I do. Your sermon is helping me "relax" and just love him. God Bless You, Dennis 8/25/05

Ron, thank you for yours and Howard's contribution in speaking to our group at the Men's Retreat in Payson, Arizona. Charley 8/24/05

Pastor Ron, I have a question about the Bible verse "blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted" Does that mean that we are to rely solely on God to comfort us in our grief or does God provide people and help for us during this time. If we don't find help during this time does that mean our faith is not strong enough or that we are not allowing God to comfort us? I am sure this sounds like a silly question but it is at the heart of some of my grief beyond the death and suicide of my brother. Thank You. Laurie 8/22/05 (an answer was sent to Laurie)

Here is an update and praise report for Victoria, the six month old girl who had heart surgery. God Bless You,

I FEEL WE REALLY NEED TO LAY THIS ONE AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS. IT'S HARD JUST TO LET GO AND LET GOD, BUT SOMETIMES THAT'S ALL YOU CAN DO.

Dear Pastor Ron, it is wonderful that you are going to do the memorial service for my friend, Julie, and that Gen will take pictures. So anyway, thank you both very much, it hardly seems enough to say, but thank you. Sandy. 8/11/05

hope your father is doing better and all this will pass soon. Your Sister in Christ, Mary 8/10/05

(Re: "Tongues"). Ron, Thank you so much. Your response was extremely "edifying". My husband comes from a church where tongues were spoken often during the service. He said pretty much the same thing, very simply, "different strokes for different folks." Because he was raised with tongues being used significantly, then he is not bothered or distracted as I am. I do truly feel that it should be used as a prayer language and I think that a lot of the "tongues" being spoken during a service., are of the flesh...but that is just my opinion and others have a very different view. I go to church to praise God but most of all to learn more about His Word. That's why your messages are so realistic, good ole basic Bible stuff!! God Bless You, Diana 8/9/05

Enclosed is a donation for your ministry. God bless you. Cheri. 8/8/05

Pastor Ron, Thank you so much for taking the time to make this amazing day possible for our family. To be blessed and baptized in Jesus' Name is a feeling only a true Christian can know. We promise to raise Luke to know God by setting good examples ourselves. Today is Step One. Thank you and God bless. Love, Aaron, Amber & Luke. 8/7/05

Pastor Ron - I would like to receive your Bible study and sermon by email each week. Thanks and God Bless you and your ministry. Tim 8/6/05

Ron, What is your interpretation of how God disciplines and corrects us? (An answer was sent) God Bless You, Dennis 8/4/05

Hello Pastor Ron. I hope you're having a great week. Aaron, Luke and myself are excited about being baptized this weekend. A little nervous too we must say. Aaron and I discussed at length this weekend what this means to us, both for ourselves and as parents. Its a big challenge in today's world to lead by example and keep faith as the center of a family. We know how important it is to bring Luke up in a Christian home. We both know God and have both received him into our hearts but this next step is a big one, an exciting one. Thank you for making it happen for the three of us as a family!... Amber 8/3/05

Thank you for the many letters, calls and emails we are receiving, stating you are praying for Genevieve's father, who, at 83, just had quadruple by-pass heart surgery. God bless you. 8/2/05

(Re Sermon "Le Tour de France") In raising 8 children, most of the years as a single parent, I instilled in my children the need to look at our family as a team. Your message really supported the fact that we can achieve our greatest success within a body of believers, working with one another instead of making ourselves an island. My kids all worked from the time they were 15 years old....(I did not receive child support and there was not the help that women have now with "deadbeat" dads) So we were pretty much by ourselves. I only have one sibling, my brother John, who was living his life and raising kids of his own. My sister-in-law (because of her own insecure issues) did not encourage our relationship at that time so I did not have my brother in my life at all. I remember my son, (who has now passed on) saying to me one day when he was about 20 years old, "you know mom, I'm so proud that we did it ourselves, working together and supporting one another." It was tough, but the kids were so awesome during those tough years. I had to work 3 jobs and my son John was the cook and clean-up man with my daughter Terre taking over the bath and homework time. I think my beautiful family is a wonderful example of working together every day to get things done and help their Mom. I miss my boys terribly but am so honored to have been their Mother. Diana 8/1/05

(Re Sermon 7/3/05 "He Will Lift You Up") AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH (name not given) 7/31/05

WOW is the best word I can find for your sermon ("The Unborn") that steps out for the innocent. I forwarded it to our Rachael at NH to enjoy as well. Thank you for opening our hearts and eyes to those who are being murdered. Susan 7/29/05

Pastor Beckham, Thanks for the prompt response. Your website has been a blessing in my life. I read the testimonial of Pastor Dennis last night and was deeply moved... You would not believe the number of people you have touched. After reading this site over the last 4-5 years off and on I do realize this ministry is the light in a world of darkness. You make the scriptures clear and concise, easy to understand in today's world. God Bless you and yours, Doug 7/28/05

In the KJV, 2 Samuel 15:7 the Bible says that "...after 40 years Absalom..." As far as I know David was king forty years and Absalom wasn't banished from the presence of the king for that long or was he? Please explain to me about 2 Samuel 15:7, Love in Christ, Maria 7/27/05 (an answer was sent to Maria)

(Re Sermon: "The Unborn") Dear Ron, God's blessings to you and Gen. It's always good to know that you are "out there," serving the folks whom the rest of us cannot reach. Today's lesson particularly touched me, and I thank you for writing and sending it. I particularly enjoyed your many historical references. I love history. Now if only we would LEARN more from it! It's interesting to note that Eric Rudolph was recently sentenced for his views (AND actions) in the abortion dispute. As reported, "At the sentencing hearing, Rudolph said, 'Abortion is murder and because it is murder I believe deadly force is needed to stop it,' adding, 'Children are disposed of at will. The state is no longer the protector of the innocents.'" We can agree with his position on abortion, but certainly NOT with his views and actions concerning deadly force. Perhaps John G. Roberts, Jr., (the recently nominated Supreme Court Justice) will eventually have something to say on this issue. & as you probably know, Beethoven went deaf before he died, also, but he certainly accomplished a great deal before then! With love, Jim 7/26/05

Ron and Genevieve, We love being on your mailing list and at times like this we are so thankful we can be of His service to you with our prayers... We think of you and your ministry so often and are so thankful we spent those days together in Israel sharing our lives. May God continue to bless your ministry. We love you. Beth & Robert 7/25/05

...Thank you for your prayers and support. Irene 7/24/05

(Re: Ephesians 4:16-20) What an awesome and beautiful sermon. It makes such perfect and wonderful sense. Good job, Pastor Ron...you really hit the old nail on the head. Blessings, Diana 7/23/05

Dear Pastor Beckham, I submitted a prayer request on your forum but did not mean for my email address to show up. I mentioned some personal things in the request that could cause me problems. If you could direct this to your web person and just take my name and email off the forum for public display. Thank You, D. 7/23/05 (the information was removed)

Please keep Kingdom Causes in prayer - we keep having a long chain of things to be done plus meetings... I'm having a hard time trying to get to everything... thanks! Prayers for financial provision and workers to assist would be much appreciated! 7/23/05

(Re: "The Lawn Geek") It was good to read your sermon. Thanks and keep up the God work. Jerri 7/10/05

Ron, I have been invited to minister on Sunday, July 17th at a local church. I would like to minister on the difference between sin and iniquity, and the significance with the blood sacrifice in Leviticus, where the priest killed a bull then a goat and mixed the blood, dipped his hands in the blood and applied it to the tips of the horns of the altar, then sprinkled it 7 times on the mercy seat. Then laid hands on the scapegoat and sent it off into the uninhabited wilderness. What is the significance of the BULL and the GOAT? I understand that the bull was to sanctify the priest and the goat to sanctify the people. What is the significance between with the 2 different animals? Michael 7/9/05

Dear Friends, This is a reminder email about the prayer gathering of leaders.

Dear Ones at Friday Study Ministries,
This morning when I wakened and saw the sun above,
I softly said, "Good Morning, Lord, Bless everyone I love."
And right away I thought of you and said a loving prayer,
That He would bless you specially & keep you from care.
I thought of all the happiness a day could hold in store,
I wished it all for you because no one deserves it more.
Blessings, lovingly, Grace 6/22/05

(Re: sermon "The Microwave") Ron: I can't tell you how much I enjoy the Sermons when I can hear them. It is like we're all in a church together, yet I can look out the window and see the trees and hear the wind and see God. Thank you. Love, Diane 6/21/05

(Re: Ephesians 3:11-15) Pastor Ron, This is a wonderful meditation. It speaks to us all, especially me today. My life challenges remind me that it all is not about me, but about our Savior and Lord. Thanks for the work you do in His name... Peace to you, Brother Jim 6/19/05

(Re: sermon "The Walled City") This message was so good I forwarded it on to other people. I hope the Holy Spirit speaks to others through this message like He spoke to me. Thanks! Love & Prayers, Linda 6/15/05

Dear Ron, Dave and I had a wonderful time last night reading this sermon ("The Walled City") to each other. Also, I thought that you'd be interested: We received a copy of this sermon -- forwarded from a friend of ours in Texas. You are probably getting more readership than you realize as people forward your work to friends. We pray that many are being blessed. Love in our Lord, Christine 6/14/05

Your study in Ephesians is great! It is so deep! Keep doing such a good job! Thank you. Al 6/13/05

I've really been enjoying your sermons. I like listening to them and reading them at the same time. English is not my native language, and when I only read, I understand about 70% of it. Listening at the same time helps me understand much better. Thank you for what you are doing. Keep them coming. Mike 6/11/05

PASTOR RON: THANK YOU FOR THE LESSON ON EPH. 3:6-10, I COPIED IT AND WILL SPEND SOME TIME TODAY IN THE BIBLE STUDYING. ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GIVE FEEDBACK OR WHAT?

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME, IT WAS GOOD TALKING TO A CHRISTIAN ONCE AGAIN EVEN IF IT'S E-MAIL, I REALLY HAVE NO CHRISTIAN FRIENDS IN MY LIFE AT THIS TIME.   GOD BLESS. JIM 6/10/05

Ron, I have been exploring your web site and I am really impressed. It is surely a tool of the Holy Spirit. It has the best audio and the best resources I have seen on any site.

Hello, I would like to send in a Praise Report.   I had been battling with a much needed surgery by the time I spoke with Dennis S. about putting me on the prayer list. This surgery was very serious it involved the removal of an 11# tumor and a full abdominal hysterectomy and an umbilical hernia repair I had had 9 failed Ecg's (heart) and bad lungs due to asthma and years of heavy smoking my spirit was very low due to several devastating things that had happened since last November also they were going to do a biopsy for cancer. Dennis told me he put me on the prayer list.   I am writing this letter to let you know I had a terrific amount of things going against me when I went into the Operating Room .. the list is very long what could have happened ,,,,,,,,,but thanks to a great surgeon and assistant & to THE GREATEST SURGEON OF ALL all went very very well and the tumor is gone & I am on the mend.   I surely wanted to send in this praise report and thank all the really selfless people who were willing to pray for me.. Thank you Denise 6/2/05

I want to receive your weekly Bible studies and sermons by email. (email address given)... Katharina 6/1/05

Dear Ron, I read this particular prayer request with great sadness: "Almighty God, we pray for protection for this on-line church, as it faces daily nuisance advertising postings on the website...." As a web site maintainer myself, I am so sad to hear about this problem that you are having. (Some people just don't have enough to do to keep them busy!) Our prayer is that this activity stops very soon, so that you can spend your time on more important activities. With love, Jim 5/31/05

I just read your comments on the book of Daniel. It was excellent. I have had a diet full of milk (raw) and honey (I have a bee keeper I get it from for the last 20 years)   So the comments on diet were interesting to me... Land flowing with milk and honey- that's me! I was able to read this at school today. I will read more later. Mark 5/30/05

Ron, Just spent some time cruising your web site. I like the looks of it. I like the youth section, very well done... Thank you again for your prayers. Will keep in touch. In Christ, Chris F. 5/29/05

Ron, I just found out that I can HEAR your Sunday Sermons. I'm not a reader and I bet most everybody else don't read much, either. But I came out into the room where we have the computer and I heard your voice on Diane's computer. Your voice is very soothing. It was great. Keep doing them with your voice. Don Z. 5/28/05

... This is my last hope, perhaps your prayers can save me. Cause I am finding difficulty saving myself. Thank you and God Bless Jeremiah 5/27/05

Gen1:20,21 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good. DID THE WATERS BRING FORTH THE BIRDS? AND DID THEY then MULTIPLE IN THE EARTH AFTER COMING OUT OF THE WATER? {GEN2:19} GEN 1:22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply IN the earth . GEN2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air;... GEN2:19 SAYS "every fowl" came from the ground, but GEN1:20&21 said the waters brought forth ??? Help. DID THE WATERS BRING FORTH THE BIRDS OR OUT OF THE GROUND???

I am honored that you want to refer to my column in your sermon. Which column, Pastor, and where did you see it? Best wishes, Dennis Prager 5/17/05

I just finished the reading your sermon "The Scattering." I appreciate this insight into the post-flood world. As far as the PRE flood world, Myself, I imagine it was very very advanced .... People not far removed from the very creation of man; people who still lived lifetimes of 500 years plus! Man with an intelligence quotient more than likely far far beyond ours .... whose minds and hearts were not so tainted with years and years of living with sin! I thought of something interesting as I read about the sudden change in language ... There are so many who support this babbling of meaningless syllables as the "tongues" given in Acts, yet it is made quite clear that these tongues were actual languages given in order that the Word of God might be spread abroad ... Each man was suddenly understanding his neighbor and baffled at this miracle! Its like it was put back together there in one small place at one time ...Would appreciate some additional insight into this also! Nancy 5/16/05

Hi guys, Could you lift up my online friend, Mads, from Zimbabwe ~ as she was attacked by a lioness yesterday while on vacation weekend. She's going to be okay, however, she was bitten in the back of the neck/shoulder area and clawed on both arms....I can only imagine the pain. She's praising God that she was able to keep standing and both guides say that saved her life, giving the guides and Lawrence (her brother) the ability to beat the lioness off of her. She was also relating to everyone how it made her have a whole new perspective on Daniel and the lion's den and the early Christians' suffering through death that way. Thanks, Susie 5/15/05

We would love for you and your wife to come an visit our church. We have gone through some tough times lately but we are hanging in there. We are still on the radio on KBRT 740 AM at 9:00 AM every Sunday morning. Check us out sometime. God bless you Ron! Pastor Scott 5/14/05

Pastor Ron, Thank you for your wonderful and informative note. I will pass it on to the HomeWatch management to see if we might be able to share this with our clients as well as possibly put something on your site. I think this is a very necessary and timely way to share Christ. I will enjoy visiting your website and learning more about your ministry. Blessings~ Cheryl HomeWatch CareGivers 5/7/05

Here is the story we have been promising you!   Sorry it has taken us so long. We have had it done for a while but didn't send it.

Ron, I work for HomeWatch CareGivers and we provide in-home caregiving services, primarily to the elderly and disabled. Just recently, we became the sole provider in our area of the Veteran's Salute Program, whereby we can assist low income vets who meet certain qualifications, to get a pension for caregiving services - and to thus fill that need. It was my frustration with finding these people who so desperately need assistance, that led to our discussion. Thank you for your ear AND for your ministry. How wonderful to find this site! The music is great and I will share it with my friends. Blessings to you. Cheryl 4/30/05

... am very interested in the ministry you have, as I belong to many newsgroups for health issues...it's near and dear to my heart. Will definitely have to wait until morning to be able to view it fully. Susie 4/25/05

Thanks again, Ron, for a wonderful message. God always seems to know when I should turn on the computer and do my Bible Study, even though my mood was not "there" in the spirit this morning. I will wait for God's answers and will quit trying to force something that can't be forced. Patience is not a virtue that I have learned easily....(nor anyone for that matter, it's a toughy)... Thanks for your continued prayers. Blessings to you.....Diana 4/25/05

Reverend Ron, that was an excellent Bible study. Please keep sending them. Mary. 4/17/05

Thank you Pastor Ron, for your answer. Do you think that if I am in a Church that does not believe in the gifts and the baptism of the Holy spirit that I am in the wrong place. So often I feel as if our church is not even alive, but I don't feel a strong pull to leave. Would God have me here even if I don't follow the doctrinal beliefs of this denomination? The board and the leadership team do not know that I believe in the gifts, I believe that would cause division and this is I know is not what the Lord wants. Thank you in advance 4/16/05 (An answer was sent)

Do you receive Bible studies? I have studies in the Books of Romans, Colossians, James and more. Can you use them? Chuck 4/15/05 (The answer to Chuck was - Yes - we DO receive studies, sermons and testimonies, and, subject to FSM Board approval, include them in our Church on the Net).

Dear Pastor Ron, I love your Bible studies. I look forward to them all week long. Margaret 4/14/05

Dear Pastor Ron and Gen: Those praise reports are an encouragement as I read each one, seeing how God worked and answered prayer in the different areas of the lives mentioned in your Praise Report. It makes me know He will answer mine in His perfect timing, but He is allowing me to go through what I am going through for a purpose like He did in the lives of these people mentioned, so He can get the Glory. With thanks for those reports 4/13/05 (From a member of the FSM Prayer Team)

They say no, and I defended the Catholic religion saying to be a Christian isn't a religion. Who is right? 4/11/05 (An answer was sent)

Good Morning Ron, I would like to consult you for some wisdom and advice. The question I'm starting to ponder is that of formally starting a Ministry (as you did when you went through the formal governmental approval process). I know through your earlier writings that there was some labor involved in this. I'm wondering at what point to start this process. Thank you for any advice you may have. May God continue to bless your ministry and your marriage. In Christ, Mark 3/29/05 (An answer was sent)

Charlesetta in Indiana, sent a donation to FSM with the following note: "I would like a portion of this to go to Howard in Phoenix, AZ directly." The funds were designated for Howard as she requested. 3/28/05

Is it ok for a women to be a pastor over a church? If not why? I can understand the duties and qualifications of a elder, bishop, and deacon, but it says in the word of GOD that a women can be a teacher, and a preacher and teacher are the same. A Bishop runs all churches that he builds up under his organization but a pastor gets the ok to do things within the church by the Bishop so therefore the women is still in her place and isn't out of line nor is she out of the will of GOD (An answer was sent) 3/27/05

(Re: Sermon 3/6/05 "Adoption") - Dear Ron: I just got around to reading this teaching tonight. It is just beautiful. I feel abandoned by my church, but not by Christ, but it made me feel loved and peaceful as I read the words of your message. I don't know about you being adopted, but as you say, we are all adopted by the King of Kings, so we should be joyful, and know that is the greatest kind of adoption there is. Thank you for this message. It brought peace within my heart. Love and Prayers, Marilyn 3/14/05

Is there a formula for prayer? --- An answer was placed into Ask The Pastor 3/10/05

Hello, I am writing on behalf of an online Christian portal. We provide many resources for children and for parent's with children. There is a dearth of sites devoted to promoting Christianity among children, and we are hoping to be one of the first sites to offer a comprehensive collection of Christian kids information. We were hoping to use some of content from your website on our section. We would like to include Commentary on the Book of John in this section. If you allow us to use it, we will give the proper credit and copyright information on any page the content is used, and you will also be supporting a wonderful Christian cause. Thanks so much for your consideration. Jessica 3/8/05

I was asked a question about why we should never speak against the pastor and his wife and will you up hold them with great respect. I really could not answer them because i had just came to church for the 5th time and was going to join.

Thank you a new child of God Barbara   3/3/05 An answer was given in Ask The Pastor

Just want to say a big "thank you" for all the time and effort you put into your messages and your ministry. I am sure all the readers appreciate you as much as I do.

Dear Ron: I really enjoyed that sermon on "Joy" and feel that I have had a lot of joy in my life in the last several months that I didn't used to have, even as a Born-Again Believer. Thanks, Marilyn 2/28/05

Hello, I came across your site as I was looking for material to teach 4th thru 6th grade girls the Gospel of John. I have not yet looked at it closely because I am just trying to gather resources. I was wondering if I have permission to use some of your thoughts from the John study with the kids? I would probably just incorporate it into my discussion or explanation of the passages, and maybe into questions. I am not sure what I am going to use yet, but I wanted to get permission before I dive into study. Sincerely, Lisa, Kansas City. 2/26/05 (permission was given to Lisa)

Ron, I just received your study on this passage from Joel 2:26-32. Very interesting. I have never heard that perspective before. If you don't mind I would like to ask you 2 initial questions. Firstly, with regard to the perspective of this passage relating to the baptism of the HOLY SPIRIT, is this something the LORD spoke directly to you or is this something you picked up from a commentary? If it's from a commentary I sure would like to know which one in order that I might read it. Secondly, time permitting and in the spirit of love, would you be receptive to opening a dialogue on this passage? As you well know this is a topic of great interest to me and I desire to learn more. I have always respected your spirit and loving attitude and would cherish the opportunity to search deeper in GOD'S truth with a brother such as yourself. That would be a tremendous blessing to me. I will await your answers and trust the LORD to lead as HE wills! Agape' Jim 2/21/05 (An answer was sent to Jim)

I have a question I would like to ask. My twin sister whom I am very close to recently told me she is going to have to separate herself from me because I am too worldly. She said it is because the type of movies I watch. I watch the typical movies you find at the theater, but never anything x-rated or obviously wrong. She said it's wrong to watch movies with any swearing, or overly violent, or one that has hints of sexuality. I feel she is going overboard and over reacting, but I need to know if she is right or if I am right. I want to do what's right in God's eyes. I don't think watching these movies is wrong, but if it is, I need to know. Thank you for taking the time out to answer my question. Rita An answer was given in Ask The Pastor 2/20/05

May God bless you (and Genevieve) in all your life and ministry. Your comrade in the Gospel, Pastor Rob 2/20/05

Ryan had his surgery and it went well. Now they are monitoring the pressure in his head. This morning they started draining fluid from his head. He is a little grumpy but doing well for just being a year old. I sing to him and there comes that beautiful smile. He is such a blessing in my life. Thank you for your prayers.

(Received through Ask The Pastor - an answer was given) i have a question about something i've read....i hope you can shed light onto it... the question is "Does God tempt people?"...James 1:13 says "Let no man say ... I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempeth he any man." VS. · Genesis 22:1 "And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham." ...this question has caught my attention...and one more thing on this ...in James 1:13 the word "he" ("...neither tempeth he any man.") is not capitalized in my bible????...so i assume it is not talking about God...is this a misprint or is it the same in your bible??... thank you for taking the time to read my question 2/9/05

I have visited your web-site -- very nice. My wife returned from Canada all excited about another e-church to which she was exposed up there. God bless you for being innovative in ministry. I can read your sermons and Bible studies from the web site -- which is a blessing. God grant you peace and power in your life and ministry, Ron. Warmly in Christ, Rob 2/8/05

(Re: Sermon "Religion") - You ask the question in your sermon, what did the Catholics see in you? I may have a partial answer. I met a man in Tucson from another country who knows you. He said this about you: You are filled with so much love. Jenni 2/6/05

What is your opinion on a Pastor serving as treasurer also in the same church? Is there a legal issues involved in this type of DUAL roles in the same church? Does the government have any jurisdiction in this? Saylor. 2/5/05 (An answer was sent to Saylor)

(Re: Sermon "The Battlefield") This sermon reminded me of an incident that happened not too long ago. I had purchased my younger relatives a recent release of the Harry Potter series. Their mother called me to advise that they were no longer allowed to watch those movies. Apparently they were running around the house practicing "spells" on each other. I think I was so captivated by the idea of personal triumph and the innocence of a child who continues to overcome evil. I never thought of the underlying message which dealt with witchcraft and wizardry. It is very important for us to continue monitoring the subliminal messages we receive. Its amazing how the enemy sneaks into our lives in ways we don't even realize.  Thanks for a great sermon, Charlesetta 2/4/05

Hello Pastor Ron. My fiancé' is a Minister/Missionary in various countries, my Mother has been ordained a Minister and is the asst. Pastor at her church in FL., and my family has a strong history of both Female and Male Ministers. I have been searching and seeking my own purpose for years, God has finally given me a path way to receive the gift of my purpose. All that to say, I don't feel that I am to Pastor a church but I am to teach. I am going back for my Masters to get the educational side and hope to earn my PHD. I am part of a Baptist church now and they don't teach nor believe that women should Pastor a church and claim with various scripture that it is quoted in the doctrines. Is this true? I'm just seeking the truth? Thank you for time in advance, Jade (An answer was sent) 1/19/05

Ron, the prayer list is powerful and miracles continue to happen. Faye 1/11/05

Pastor Beckham, I had to do research on Chapter 3 of the Book of Daniel for one of my classes (I attend a Wesleyan University). I cannot tell you how many times I've read that book and I never truly understood the message in the words nor was I able to relate the events back then to modern day occurrences. You did an excellent job breaking down the material and I can truly relate now. I have renewed interest in studying the bible with understanding versus just reading it to say that I've read. After reading your analysis, the light bulb went off. I will definitely be visiting your page frequently and passing the word on to others. I just wanted to write and say Thanks! Charlesetta 1/9/05

The aim of the My services is to reach to the lost with Gospal of Our LORD Jesus Christ and this ministry is run by the freewill offering of many of the dear well-wishers &friends. we encourage you also to kindly pray and seek Gods guidance in supporting us financially to meet the variours expenses of this Fast Growing Ministry.

Very timely message especially in light of all the circumstances surrounding us. I also pray that our political leaders are praying and not trying to do fix the mess we are now in using mere human devices. Unfortunately, I think the latter may be the norm. God Bless. Hope you had a joyous Christmas and safe New Year holiday. Yvonne 1/4/05 (Re: Joel 1:11-15)

My name is Jessica and I live in Austin, TX. I just wanted you to know I came across your site "Book of John for Youth and those new to the Lord" and God really Blessed me and my friend, Stephanie by it. She is brand new to the Lord and I gave my life to Him a little over a year ago. And I am zealously seeking Him and His truth, and this site helped me with a few things I did not understand. It is a Blessing to my friend, Stephanie also like you wouldn't believe. So I just want to thank you for making this site and being sensitive to God's inspiration in it. May the Lord Bless you. 1/2/05
