Peacemakers, Atheists & Gentiles
Why does Jesus say “blessed are the peacemakers” and who are they? How do I help my atheist friend see there is a God? If Gentiles were never invited to the Old Testament law, why does Paul tell Gentile churches they “died to the law”?
“They Say I Won’t Go to Heaven!”
Are we told specifically to remember God and reflect on His attributes? What is “double-mindedness” exactly? My friends are telling me I won’t go to heaven, because I don’t go to church. Are they right? Is it true that we (the people) are the church? How do we best understand the warnings to the churches […]
How to Forgive Those Who Hurt You Deeply!
My father has a short time to live. How can I effectively share the gospel with him when he doesn’t seem open? My mother is in a memory care facility, and this has caused a rift between me and my sister. I wonder what to do! Can you explain the “left behind” concept again from […]
Just discovered my “new self.” Am I crazy?!
Do people who reject “once saved, always saved” really believe God might kick us when we’re down? What can you say about Christ as the Living Word? How can I share the “Christ in you” message effectively with others? What happens to Jews (and Gentiles) who don’t hear and believe the gospel today? And what […]
Chose or Chosen? Science or Faith? Taken or Left Behind?*
How do we start conversations with strangers about salvation? Why do Christians say they “chose” to believe in Christ? Aren’t we just “persuaded” by God? I don’t know how to read well and often don’t understand the Bible. Does God still hear me? How can I show someone they must get counseling to fix their […]

“Virgins? Talents? Judgment? Help me with Matthew 25!”
Matthew 25 contains two parables and a final judgment that all seem works-oriented. How should we interpret this chapter in light of God’s grace? My friend grew up Catholic and is into meditation and enlightenment. I’ve been talking to him about the gospel, but I wonder what you would tell him. Do you have any […]
“Knowing God’s will? Praying with right motives?”
A person is being consistently critical of my children. How should I approach this situation? What is the main thing God wants us to know and do in the Christian life? You inspired me to share Christ with someone! Who was Ishmael? Who were his descendants? What’s the big takeaway? What is the doctrine of […]
Fresh anointing? “Esau I hated”?
Do we ever need a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit? What does “Jacob I loved, Esau I hated” mean in Romans 9? What about the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart? And aren’t these evidence of God pre-selecting individuals for salvation? How bold or careful should we be in sharing our faith with our children as […]
“Follow Jesus into death? Who? How?”
Take up your cross? Lose your life? To whom was Jesus referring? What are your thoughts on the Orthodox traditions? How do I share the core message of Christianity with my grandchildren?
“What’s the minimum to be saved?”
Why don’t I operate in the supernatural? I feel powerless! What is the minimum required to be saved? How can I share this message effectively? Jesus said to forgive others 70×7, so does He forgive us without limits? Without asking?
“I was abused. How do I deal with the shame?”*
I was abused growing up, and it led me to drinking too much. Will that keep me from Heaven? How can I deal with the guilt and shame that has come from the abuse? How can I share my faith with my young adult children without seeming too pushy? *previously aired
“My son died. I feel such guilt.”
My son died from fentanyl. I need encouragement! Can you help? What is the meaning of the Parable of the Talents? Who are the elect? What does it mean to be a fragrant aroma of Christ to God? What kind of repentance is needed for salvation? How do I talk with someone who doesn’t believe […]
“I was abused. How do I deal with the shame?”
I was abused growing up, and it led me to drinking too much. Will that keep me from Heaven? How can I deal with the guilt and shame that has come from the abuse? How can I share my faith with my young adult children without seeming too pushy?
“I wonder if I did enough?”
Is it okay to break out in tongues when you’re in a group? Can you lose your salvation? I am a newer believer, and I’ve shared my faith with my father and my uncle. However, now I wonder if I did enough?
“Do believers need to enter God’s rest? No!”
Our pastor wants to evangelize all communities, including those of different lifestyles. Is that biblical? What do you think he has in mind? How can I help my friend who is having marriage problems? What kind of counseling is best? I have a religious OCD, and I’m constantly concerned that I’m not entering God’s rest. […]
“Am I not doing enough, Lord?”
Who is the Holy Spirit to us? What role does He play in our lives? How do we share the gospel? Do we have to seal the deal? I hear a nagging voice that says you’re not doing enough. Is that God?
“People want to debate me a lot!”
How can a Christian know they are saved? I find myself in lots of debates about God and wonder what is the best way to evangelize? I’ve been selected to serve as an elder in my church and I wonder if you have any advice for me?
“Will Jesus return once or twice?”
Am I allowed to play poker? What do you think of the Jewish roots movement? I’ve heard that we are grafted into Israel by keeping the Torah. What do you think of the “tulip” of Calvinism? What about Arminianism? My dad is an atheist, and keeps asking me about God, Satan, and the problem of […]
“The enemy can’t touch me?”
The enemy can’t touch me? What about temptation and accusation? What about when others harm me? Would you share the gospel with my 93-year-old grandfather? Why did Jesus say, “man does not live by bread alone”? Why did He refer to Himself as water and bread on different occasions?
