“How do we walk by faith? How do we walk by the Spirit?”
How do we walk by faith and not by feelings? Aaron made an excuse for his sin, and God didn’t punish Him? How can I know that God’s gospel promises are for me individually? What do you think of Billy Graham? Is the Bible on audio a good approach to learning more? How do we […]
“I was abused. How can I forgive?”
I know God allows painful things to happen to us, but what is He thinking and feeling about us in those moments? God has given me so many opportunities to express love and grace to others and to pray for them. I’m so thankful! I’m a survivor of sexual abuse, and I wonder about forgiving […]
“My son says I need a real church and a real Bible!”
Someone in our community just died of suicide. What can I be ready to say or share when people ask me about his death? My son tells me I need to go to a real church, my baptism doesn’t count, and I’m not reading the true Bible. Help me! My husband passed away five years […]
“I have cancer, and I’m in incredible pain!”
Sometimes I feel so downtrodden and sad, and then I feel guilty for feeling that way! Can you help me? I have cancer, I’m losing my vocal cords, and I’m in great pain too. Plus, I have such difficulty sleeping. This is so frustrating, and I wonder if I’m losing my faith in God.
New flavors of Law-based living!
Is there a new breed of legalism today? Seems like we’re always trying to reinvent legalism and make it more relevant or, conversely, more ceremonial! Why does Paul use the word “if” in Colossians 1:23? It seems like he’s saying we Christians need to hang on for dear life! Is there ever a time when […]
“I feel like a boy in a man’s body!”
I was sexually abused as a kid. I still feel like a little boy in a man’s body. How do I grow up? Is the radical imagery in Revelation 9 to be taken literally? I’ve had cancer twice. I’m looking at more treatment. I don’t know what to do with this decision.
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? […]
