This is absolutely incredible to have come from someone that was merely 24 or 25 years old!! No wonder the Lord wanted Chad to be with Him! And what a blessing that He didn’t leave Courtney behind because she was also just as worthy! Thank you for sharing this.

About Us:
What People have to Say:
- Both sides agree that Jesus did not sin: (1 Cor. 5:21 – “He hath made him to be sin for us…”; I Peter 2:22 – “He commited no sin.)
- Peccable: Heb. 4:15 – “He was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin.”
- Caleb Phelps
- Daniel Phelps
- The story of “Fanning the Flame”
- Bus Accident Memorial
- Fanning the Flame Ministries
- If Jesus could have sinned, he would still be able to sin today since he remains forever God and man.
- To believe that Jesus could sin is to believe that God could sin (Col. 2:19 – “For in Christ, all the fullness of deity lives in bodily form.”
- Although Jesus was human like we are, he was not born with the same sinful nature that we are born with. He retained God’s nature. He certainly was tempted as we are, but he was incapable of sinning because God is incapable of sinning (Matt. 4:1, Heb. 2:18, James 1:13).
- Someone does not have to experience something in order to understand it.

In 2012 Chad allowed the youth group at Colonial Hills Baptist Church to ask him any and all questions that they had. The teens would submit a question to Chad via the website or a card they could fill out. Chad would then go through all the questions and on Wednesday night he would set aside some time to answer a few of the questions. He called this series “Ask the Youth Pastor.”
Many excellent questions were raised by the teens. One teen asked this question: “Was Jesus not able to sin? Or was He able not to sin?” This compelling question has been batted around by theologians for centuries. Here’s how Chad briefly answered that question.
