“The book of James scares me!”

I’m struggling with doubt and fear. I have questions about James 2 and faith and works. When Jesus returns, is it to take us to Heaven or establish a new Earth? How do I stop being judgmental of others? Should I be talking to my husband about past sexual experiences with other men?

Update on BibleQuestions.com! Are some people given I think the Holy Spirit first in order to then believe? Do we give glory to God? Or does He give glory to us? Is the Sabbath part of the “moral law”? Should we keep it?

Is Eastern Orthodox the one true church?

How can we discern who to marry given the warning about being unequally yoked? Why should I remain Protestant and not become Eastern Orthodox? What is the value and purpose of crowns in Heaven? Can we “speak things into existence”? Wouldn’t that be taking power away from God?

Is faith ever not enough for salvation?

Is there ever a scenario where faith is not enough for God’s grace to save? What does it mean in Romans 10 when it says, “who will ascend into Heaven” or “who will descend”? How does the Holy Spirit work in our lives given we are all so different? Are unbelievers really unable to choose […]

What does it mean to have died with Jesus?

What does it mean to have died with Jesus in Romans 6? Why is the church still struggling with racism and prejudice today? How should I pray for my cousin who has an addiction? Isn’t faith itself an action or a work that we do? If so, then doesn’t God need to “supply the faith” […]

“The one who does the will of My Father”?

Why are so many Christians confused about faith and works? What about James 2? What does it mean to “do the will of the Father”? Why does Jesus turn some people away in Matthew 7, saying He never knew them?

“Justified by works”? What!? (James 2:21,24,25)

Why does John 14 say we will do greater things than Jesus? What exactly do you believe about James 2? My son died by suicide, and I wonder where he is now. Is he still waiting to be with Jesus? Does Mark 16 mean that water baptism is required for salvation?

Closer to God? No!

Are we progressively getting closer to God? Do we have to be baptized to go to Heaven? Did Jesus appear in the Old Testament? From a grace perspective, what is the value of a quiet time?

“How can I be saved?”

What is the minimum one must believe to be saved? How do we interpret “faith and works” in James 2? How can I respect a godless government? Can an addict be saved?

“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?

“What is a reprobate mind?”

Why did God turn some over to a reprobate mind? Who are those people? What does that mean? How do we know when God is testing our faith? Can I donate my body to science, or does that offend God?

“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 […]

The Obedience of Faith

Are Christians permitted to divorce and remarry? Does the New Testament really say we are forgiven – past, present and future? Why does Hebrews 5 say that only those who obey Jesus are eternally secure? Who are the “lukewarm” people that are rebuked in Revelation 3?

What does “repent” really mean?

What does repent actually mean in Acts 2:38? I go to three churches, so do I need to tithe to all of them? What does Jesus mean when He says in Matthew 17 that they don’t have mustard-seed-sized faith? My wife wants to divorce me. What should I do? repent, Acts 2, tithing, Matthew 17, […]

Do you need more faith?

Why do we have to wait a thousand years for God to continue with His plan? Does the Bible support the concept of the Trinity? Why did the Israelites have to look at a bronze serpent to be healed? Should we be concerned with having more faith? What about a Christian who wants to end […]

04.01.2024 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Who were the holy people in Matthew 27 that were raised at the resurrection of Jesus? Are some people today saved just by believing in a Creator God? What kind of message was poisoning the church and spreading like cancer in 2 Timothy 2? My pastor told me if I left his church, it would […]

“I wonder if I have true faith!”

I wonder if I have true faith and if I’m really saved. I struggle so much with sin, so I doubt my salvation. How can you tell if you are in the faith? What about those to whom Jesus will say, “Depart from Me“? What is “the obedience of faith” that we see in Romans […]

“I’m not living up to God’s expectations!”

Is there any sadness or disappointment in Heaven? Will disputes be settled and bitterness be healed in Heaven? Do angels have bodies like humans? How are our minds renewed? I feel like I’m not living up to God’s expectations. I heard you teach that we don’t need to tithe 10% today. Where do we find […]
