“Can I be sure God‘s grace is real?”
I received a frightening diagnosis today, and now I’m wondering what happens to Christians when they die? How can I know for sure that the grace of God is real? What about salvation being certain and secure? If God loves everyone, why do some people suffer so much?
Positional vs. Relational Forgiveness?
Is the idea of “relational forgiveness“ biblical? Do I need to get re-baptized? Can lazy Christians lose their salvation? What does it mean to pray in Jesus’ name? Should we follow preachers who teach loss of salvation? I got sprinkled instead of immersed. Does that count?
“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?
“How should we view the Book of Revelation?”
Please explain what you teach about altars and altar calls. A pastor I know claims that “once saved, always saved” is not in the Bible. Is that true? What is the “preterist” view of the Book of Revelation? Does it have any merit? How was Jesus heard by thousands of people at one time without […]
“Should Christianity be restful?”
Should Christianity be the most relaxing belief system on earth? Are we really saved forever, no matter what? Do we need to honor the Sabbath day? Might the Centurion who was present at Jesus’ death be saved?
“Am I really saved?”
What about people who’ve never heard the gospel? How should we view Israel and the church? Are we descendants from Isaac or Ishmael? How can I know if God’s Spirit lives in me? Am I really saved if I still continue to struggle with sin? What does Psalm 92 mean about trees and maturity? What […]
More Grace = More Godliness
Did Jesus only fulfill some of the Law? Did we believers only die to some of the Law? What are the “good intentions” of those who teach Law-based living and rule-keeping? How about those who teach we can lose our salvation? My friend doesn’t want to hear me say anything about the Old Testament. Help! […]
Scaring believers is not ministry!
Do we look to the church for love and acceptance? Or only to Jesus? Can we lose our salvation or not? It seems like there’s mixed teaching out there about this! Does God want to exalt us? What does that even mean?
“Lordship salvation” fosters fear!
What is Lordship salvation? Why do so many people lack assurance with God? Did the Queen of Sheba and Solomon have a baby together? My Bible study teacher said it’s wrong to pray for both the people of Israel and the Palestinians (casualties, children, famine, etc.). Is that really true?
Are pastors and elders biblical? Yes!
How can I know for sure that I’m saved? My son was killed in a car accident. Where was God‘s protection? Was his death untimely? Are paid pastors and the concept of elders a product of Constantine or Calvin? Or are they actually biblical?

What does it really mean to have Christ living in us? Why did Jesus say we cannot serve two masters? What do you think about the phrase: “God told me to tell you…”? How can I stop questioning my salvation? I like my church, but I don’t feel like I can share the whole truth […]

Can we know for sure we’re going to Heaven? What kind of “authority” do believers have? What is antinomianism? Aren’t we still under the moral law?

I’m struggling with assurance of my salvation. How should I look at resurrection in Revelation 20? What is “two or three gathered in my name” really about? My church believes we can lose our salvation, and I don’t know how to talk with them. What about verses that say people can fall away from grace?

How do we get an “incorruptible love” (Ephesians 6:24) for Jesus? Sometimes when I share what I’m learning about grace, my husband becomes uncomfortable. I don’t want to force conversation upon him, so what should I do? What is your opinion of Preterism? I have OCD, so I struggle with obsessive thoughts about whether I’m […]

Can you lose your salvation? What does it mean to abide in Christ? What does the term “heart” mean in 1 John 3, and how could it “condemn us”? Why didn’t Jesus ever mention the sexual sin described in Romans 1?

The parable of the sower makes me wonder if I’m really saved. Might Jesus say to me, “Depart from Me”? What’s going on with Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8? My pastor disagrees with my teaching on Galatians 5. What should I say to him?
10.19.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Are Christians only free from the ceremonial law or the moral law too? I have religious OCD and scrupulosity, and I constantly wonder if I’m really saved. Can you help me?

What is the new covenant? My son was addicted to opioids and passed away. Thank you for the assurance your ministry has given me about him. What are your thoughts on water baptism, immersion and sprinkling?
08.25.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Do we face judgment immediately after dying? What happens at the final judgment? I thought I was already saved, but then I had an experience that made me believe I got saved again. And then all those feelings were lost. Now I’m just confused. Have I committed the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Can you […]

Should a pastor expose the personal struggles of others during a church service? Is the Sabbath on Saturday or Sunday? Do we need to keep the Sabbath? I’ve struggled greatly throughout my life, but I still think I’m saved. However, some insinuate I’ve had a false conversion. What are your thoughts?
