Replacement Theology? Catholicism? Pentecostalism?
Can women speak in church? Can they serve as leaders? What is replacement theology? What’s the truth about Jews and Gentiles in the church? I asked my friend about Catholic confirmation, and it feels like he’s now shunning me. How do you know your calling? I want to date a Catholic woman, but I’m not […]
“How can I be a better parent?”
How should we view the Beatitudes in Matthew 5? Do they refer to the church? Or are they Law-based? My kids engage in a ton of sibling rivalry. How can I be a better parent? My pastor is constantly chastising and disciplining us. I wonder: Is this Biblical?
“I’m being bled dry!”
What is the prosperity gospel? Why is it off the mark? Why is a prophet not welcome in his own hometown? Are we supposed to show priority for one type of church or ministry over another? Right now, I feel like I’m being bled dry! Can you pray for me and my marriage? My wife […]
“Will some Christians be tricked?”
Should I still honor my mother and father if the relationship with them is toxic? Will some of the elect (the church) be deceived in the end times or not? Is there an age of accountability that the Bible explicitly supports? How should we approach the love and mercy of God when it comes to […]
“Can’t find a great church. What can I do?”
Do you have more books coming out? Why do I find it so difficult to find a good church? How do I relate better to my father who is hostile toward the Gospel?
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?
Never quite good enough for God?
Is love only a decision, not a feeling? What about when you’re dating? Is physical attraction important? Who needs to lose their life in Mark 8? Why does Jesus say this? I can’t seem to find a church where they’re truly proclaiming the depths of the Gospel. It seems like so many churches are telling […]
“Lawlessness” is bad, right? But we’re not under the Law!
Why is my church teaching that it’s wrong to play musical instruments during the service? Where do they see that in the Bible? Why does Jesus reject people in Matthew 7 for their “lawlessness” if we are not under the Law? Is there a gift of wisdom and knowledge? If so, what does that look […]
“I don’t want to go to church anymore!”
I have no desire to go to church lately, and I wonder if I might be going to Hell. Are there new apostles today? Have the spiritual gifts gone away now? What is “testing the spirits” or discernment of spirits? Is it about spiritual warfare and demons?
“Don’t let them take communion?”
What can you do when you have recurring doubts about your salvation? Should I get baptized again now that I’m a believer? What should you look for in a church? Should anyone be allowed to partake of communion? How can we know Christ really even existed? How does sanctification factor in?
You WANT to be “left behind”!
What do Seventh Day Adventists believe? Are women allowed to serve or speak in church? I know you teach that the antichrist is not pretending to be Christ, but who is the “wicked one“ or the “man of lawlessness” in 2 Thessalonians? Are we immediately with God when we die? What about what Jesus teaches […]
Tradition vs. Truth
My roommate is controlling and jealous in the ways she treats me. I’m wondering what to do. How do you view church tradition versus Scripture when they seem to contradict sometimes? What about the Orthodox church?
Why go to church?
Do I need to go to church more consistently? Who are the people with “soiled garments” in Revelation 3? My mother passed away last week, and I’m not sure that I’m making enough time for God right now. What are your thoughts?
Confess every sin to be forgiven?
Is the new covenant a “renewed” covenant? This ministry saved my life! Why does Hebrews 12 talk about God’s discipline in connection with holiness? What are your thoughts about church based on gender, race, etc.? What about couples who live together? Do we need to confess every sin to be forgiven by God?
“How do I walk by the Spirit? How do I offer my body to God?”
What does it mean to walk by the Spirit? Which person of the Trinity should I pray to? Do we need to ask for the Holy Spirit to be saved? What happens when we die? Do we see Jesus right away or are we asleep? Can women speak in church or must they always remain […]
“Should I keep attending my church or leave?”
What is the mark of the beast? Should I stay at my church if they don’t teach the grace of God? I feel negative and awful every morning. What should I do? Are belief and faith different things?
Was God angry with Jesus on the cross?
What does “a dog returns to its own vomit” mean? Did Did Peter, Paul and James have a law-based perspective in their writings at times? How should we view Matthew 18 in terms of church discipline? Was God’s wrath poured out on Jesus?
“I struggle with sexual fantasy…”
What is the gift of tongues? I struggle with pornography and sexual fantasy. What can I do? I’ve been a worship leader for many years, but I’m frustrated with my church. How can we keep our worship organic and meaningful?
“I can never live up to agape love!”
How did David view the Law? How is his life a testimony to the mercy of God? What about the failures of Moses and Paul? 1 Corinthians 13 seems like an impossible standard. How can we ever live up to it? I’m exiting the Catholic Church and trying out new congregations. Do I need to […]
Is there a secret rapture with some left behind?
Is the return of Christ a secret “rapture” or is it more public and obvious? Is there one return of Christ or two? What is the general order of events at the end of the age? Do we need to re-dedicate our lives to Christ? How should we view a refocus later in life? Do […]
