| 0:00.0 | All right. We're live. Welcome to the Friday, Q&A. I'm Mike Winger, pastor in Southern California. |
| 0:08.1 | Here to try to answer your questions about the Bible, why we should believe it and how to apply it |
| 0:12.9 | into our lives as Christians. So in a short way of saying it, helping you learn to think |
| 0:17.7 | biblically about everything. That's the goal of this ministry. That's the goal of not only the |
| 0:21.1 | YouTube channel, but the podcast, the website, the existence of Bible thinker, Bible thinker.org, |
| 0:26.2 | just to help you learn to think biblically about everything. And the first question today |
| 0:31.2 | is an anonymous question, but it says, what does it mean to worship God, quote, in spirit and in truth? |
| 0:37.8 | Now, this is a phrase that most of us who have familiarity with Scripture, we know this phrase, |

| 1:18.9 | but some would that it's like this intensity of feelings. And others would even say that |
| 1:25.0 | worshiping God in spirit, that part of the equation, spirit and truth, it refers to spiritual gifts |
| 1:30.1 | and speaking in tongues, and that sort of thing. And that you want to incorporate that in your |
| 1:35.8 | worship, or else you're not worshiping God right. Now, I think again, a minority will say that, |
| 1:39.4 | but that is, those are some of the answers that we're going to get. Others will say about truth, |
| 1:44.6 | what is truth mean that you have to worship God in spirit and truth, they'll say perhaps the truth |
