What’s the deal with Simon the Sorcerer and him wanting the Holy Spirit? My pastor seems to be superstitious and afraid. Any thoughts? Do we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit because He “leaks out” over time? Are there two different Gospel messages- one for Jews and another for Gentiles?

I struggle with making decisions, and I freeze up a lot. Any thoughts? If every believer still commits sins, then how do we inherit the kingdom when it says evildoers will not? Are we supposed to examine ourselves each time we take the Lord’s Supper?

Can you help me understand the “ask and seek and knock” of the Sermon on the Mount? Are there patterns of temptation or tendencies according to the flesh? Why do so many Christians think they have a wicked heart? What is the meaning of the faith-and-works passage in James 2? My friends and I have different opinions about activity level during the pandemic. Am I living in fear? What is a reprobate mind and do believers sometimes have this?
