What kind of power and influence does Satan really have? How do I trust God when I see hospital workers not tending to my mother the way they should? Is God still concerned with the old covenant? How simple is salvation? Do I need to feel assurance for it to be true? What was Israel chosen for specifically? How can I understand the Bible better? So far, I’m having trouble!

Is there a chance that Paul is not talking about the Old Testament “law” in Romans (1-8)? Must our giving be to a local church or ministry? Is there freedom to work that out a different way? I’ve seen biblical evidence the Earth is flat. What are your thoughts?

I’m thinking about marrying a Muslim man. What are your thoughts? Why do some of Jesus’s teachings seem so harsh? My husband is seeing other women and criticizes me for respecting God more than him. I’m dying inside!

I heard Proverbs 26 is about a believer losing salvation. I’ve been depressed about my eating disorder and need help with this passage! What kind of battle are we really in on a daily basis? What does Ephesians 6 mean when it speaks of the armor of God?

Can you help me understand James 2:14-26? Our works might be burned up at the final judgment (1 Corinthians 3)? If we don’t love Jesus enough, we might be accursed (1 Corinthians 16:22)? Am I really saved even though I doubt so much?

I’m struggling with a gambling addiction and have tried to stop. What can I do? Why did Jesus ask the Father to forgive the people who crucified Him? A pastor of 36 years recently announced he has embraced an alternative lifestyle. I’m trying to wrap my mind around it! Who is being described in Revelation 22 as a person who subtracts or adds to prophecy? If we’re totally forgiven people, why do some believers examine themselves each time before taking communion?

I’ve been listening to “The Grace Message for five years. My family and I thank you! Why wasn’t Moses allowed to go into the Promised Land? What does this show us today? And what about Abraham and Isaac? Any New Testament takeaways for us?

What is covenant theology? Are we under the new covenant today? Or does it begin later? I read Romans 8 about “no condemnation” and still get confused and feel guilty. Do I need to live or “walk” a certain way to be freed from condemnation daily? What are your thoughts about the numbers and patterns of numbers used in the Bible?

How can we know if David is in heaven today? Does 1 Timothy 4 teach that the whole world is saved apart from hearing and believing? Is Jesus’s mother Mary queen of heaven? Or what role does she play?

How could Lot be righteous after what he did with his daughters? My friends say God never changes, so we should still be scared of Him like they were in the Old Testament? Why do so many people resist the message of God’s grace?

Do we need to try to love God more? What is the “new command” Jesus gave? What does it mean that “Christ is your life”? Did Paul invent the concept of sin? Why did Jesus talk with Peter about John not dying in John 21? What can I say to my grandson who is headed to prison?
