Can “being good” still be sin?
What do the two trees in the Garden of Eden represent? How does this relate to our lives today? I’m struggling with the concept of Hell. I feel like I’m being attacked by Satan when I’m alone. Is it possible for a believer to not go to Heaven?
“Satan is all bark and no bite!”
What are the beliefs of Seventh Day Adventists? Are they biblical? If we can’t lose our salvation, then why does Satan bother with us? Is there any lesson to be learned from the barrenness of women in the Old Testament? How can we more easily be at peace with others?
“I struggle with so much doubt!”
I struggle with doubt and accusation, and I just don’t know why. Can you help me? Are we born sinners? Or is that not really biblical? My father reached a point of despair where he took his own life. Where is he now?
“I feel like a hypocrite when I read the Bible or pray!”*
Why is it so hard for me to believe my “sins of omission” are forgiven? I feel guilty (like a hypocrite) when I read the Bible or pray, because of my choices lately. What can I do? How do 2 Corinthians 5 and Romans 14 fit together and show us what will happen at the […]

“Old Testament violence? Natural disasters?”
How would you help a believer who is involved in sexual immorality? Do we see God immediately when we die or do we have to wait? How is God always the same but then the Old Testament is filled with such violence? Does God bring disaster upon us? I feel so condemned because of my […]
“How can I harness the power to heal?”
Some think they’re hearing from those who have died. What do you say to that? I was in the hospital for a month with cancer and experienced a lot of accusation and condemnation in my mind. Where was that coming from? My dad is pressuring me to keep the Sabbath day. Am I supposed to? […]
“Strict religion made me sin more!”
My dad passed away last Fall and was not a believer. I get very depressed about where he might be. Can you help? Can a genuine believer fall into habitual sin? I grew up in a very legalistic environment, and I think that just made me want to sin more.
“Has my job become an idol?”
Why does the New Testament talk about harvest and reward? Does some of it refer to now? I was promoted in my job, but now I feel accused like I love it too much. How can I move forward, simply giving thanks and enjoying it? Am I gaining the whole world and losing my soul […]
The “third use” of the Law?
My sister is telling me God wants us to balance law and grace. She refers to Luther’s “third use of the law.” What are your thoughts? Churches don’t seem to minister to people who are married to unbelievers. Do you think this is true? Does the Holy Spirit bring sins we’ve committed to our remembrance? […]

How can you respond when you’re experiencing accusation on all sides, no matter what you do? Someone quoted 2 Timothy 3:16 and told me I’m still under the Law. Is this true? Why did you write the book “The Art of Spiritual War”? When was Jesus really born, and is it wrong to celebrate His […]

Why would God put people in the Book of Life if He is only going to take them out later? Might I be judged differently for my sin of adultery than other sins? I feel that I probably committed the unpardonable sin when I was young. What should I do?

What is Arminianism? What does it look like to submit to God’s will? I feel like I have lost my testimony because of my past. Do you have any thoughts? What are the two greatest commands in the Law? What are the commands on our new hearts? How do I fight against the fiery darts […]

Why didn’t Paul pray seven times for God to remove the thorn? What is Calvinism? How can I live with not sharing Christ with a person who recently died?
