“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?
Bearing fruit without being legalistic?
What does it mean to abide in Christ? Can we lose our salvation? How is discipline different from punishment? Is purgatory biblical? How do we walk in obedience without being legalistic?
Does God really “scourge” us? (Hebrews 12)
Why does Jesus tell people to chop off their hands and pluck out their eyes? What is He really getting at? What does God’s discipline look like? How is it different from punishment? Why does Hebrews 12 talk about God “scourging” us?
Do we gain or lose heavenly rewards?*
How do we know when God is disciplining us? Does 1 Corinthians 3 mean we might be losing rewards? Why does Jesus say we need to purchase gold from Him in Revelation 3? Who is being described in Romans 1 when it says they have a depraved mind and God gave them over? *previously aired

How do we know when God is disciplining us? Does 1 Corinthians 3 mean we might be losing rewards? Why does Jesus say we need to purchase gold from Him in Revelation 3? Who is being described in Romans 1 when it says they have a depraved mind and God gave them over?
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?
Did Jesus heal everyone? Actually, no.
Andrew, how was your father saved? Was everyone around Jesus healed? What perspective on healing is healthy today? Is the discipline in Matthew 18 really for Jews under the Law? Why did David mention eating the flesh of bulls and goats? Isn’t there “high sin” that is unforgivable? What about 1 John 1:9? Don’t we […]
“Does God still discipline us?”
Does God chastise us? Discipline us? What does that look like? Was the thief on the cross the first Christian? Does Acts 16 mean that we can believe and our whole family is then saved? How did God divide Israel’s land? Why? What does it mean to trust in the Lord and not your own […]

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?
Give an account? Plead the blood? Not exactly.
Do Christians have to give an account for their sins? Does 2 Corinthians 5 describe a second and separate judgment for believers? Do we need to plead the blood of Jesus over people or situations? Is that idea in the New Testament? What is the discipline of the Lord? How is it different from the […]

I did something I’m not proud of, and I’m feeling depressed, like God doesn’t love me anymore. What can I do? I made a promise to God, and then I broke it recently. Am I still OK with the Lord? I want to be closer to Him. What is the discipline of the Lord in […]

What are your thoughts on God’s discipline? Should you disown your child if you disagree with them? How can I know when to give more financial help to someone and when not to? Will Adam and Eve be in Heaven?

What does it mean to work out your salvation with fear and trembling? What is the discipline of the Lord? Is it the same as punishment? Does the Bible really tell Christians to “die to self”?

How do we balance discipline and legalism? I went through a 12-step program but then seemed to only fail afterward. Why am I convicted about drinking but not overeating? I think I fell from grace and now I’m trying to get back with God. How do I put God first and not myself?

Can you help me understand why Jesus would have something against a church in Revelation if He keeps no records of our wrongs? If a believer starts to do every evil thing, will they lose their salvation or their reward? How do I enter God’s rest and live by grace?

Should we only pray to the Father? Why am I experiencing burnout if I already know how to trust God? If Jesus has taken away our sins and remembers them no more, then does He ever address attitudes and actions? Why does David not seem to love his enemies when Jesus said to do so?
12.29.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Does Galatians 2:20 say it’s faith “in” Jesus or the faith “of” Jesus? How do I share the Gospel with unbelievers in an organic way? I’ve had panic attacks and wonder if it’s because of my sins. How is God’s discipline different from punishment? I haven’t heard God’s voice lately, and it concerns me. Should […]

Why aren’t the children of believers already saved? What does the word “rod” mean? How should we discipline our children under grace? Am I truly saved? Does God require church membership?
04.20.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Should unbelievers take the Lord’s Supper? What about children? What is God’s discipline? Is God “breaking” us? What is intercession? Isn’t Jesus interceding to show us how to grow in God’s grace? Why does James 5:16 say we should confess our sins to one another?
