Plead the blood? Sins under the blood? (No, taken away!)
What does it mean that Jesus became sin? What are the implications of us becoming God’s righteousness? When do we ask God to forgive us of all our sins? Do we need to “plead the blood” of Jesus? Are our sins “under the blood”? How does Satan masquerade as an angel of light?
“So many don’t believe they’re totally forgiven – past, present, and future!”
How do we calculate “3 days and 3 nights” if Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday? Did Moses lose his salvation in Deuteronomy 32 when he disobeyed God? I’m continually surprised at how many Christians don’t fully trust in the finished work of Christ! How can I help them with 1 John 1:9? […]
“You make everything so simple!”
How does Christmas reveal that God is compatible with us? How does God reveal this amazing truth in our lives today? Can believers have their bodies cremated? Can they donate organs? You make everything so simple! Thank you (from Canada) for the grace message!
“I feel guilty over my adultery and divorce. I need encouragement!”
I struggle with guilt over my past adultery and divorce. When you warn people about not receiving God’s grace, who are you talking to? Aren’t believers forgiven and living under grace already? Help me understand, and I need encouragement. My son got taken in by a movement I’m worried about. I feel responsible and guilty! […]
“Only forgiven of past sins? Keep short accounts with God now?”
I misrepresented my motives for marriage years ago. Am I forgiven by God for the sin of dishonesty? How do we convince others of the finished work of Christ? What about 1 John 1:9? Who is it written to? How can we know for sure?
“I never really knew God until now!”
I suffer with sleep paralysis. What can I do? If our sins are forgiven, then do we have to give an account? I never really knew God until now! Does the punishment in Hell last forever or come to an end? How come God doesn’t use more “gotcha” moments to prove Jesus is Messiah? I […]
“I felt darkness while praying to be saved!”
My neighbors are awful. Is it okay to wish they didn’t come home? I felt so much darkness when I was praying for salvation 20 years ago. Now I look back, and I’m scared it wasn’t legitimate! Why does John 8 say the disciples needed to “abide” or “continue” in His word?
“Use your talents or be left behind?”
A popular pastor said we have to use our talents or we are like the third servant in Matthew 25. Is this true? Might we be left behind at Christ’s return if we have not done enough? Why am I being viciously attacked if I haven’t done anything wrong? What can I do?
The Ten Commandments, Melchizedek, and More!
Should believers still look to the moral law for daily living? Should I explore the paranormal? Was Jesus truly separated from the Father on the cross? How did humanity spread across the globe? How do I cope with the theological differences I have with my husband? Can you talk about Melchizedek and how he plays […]
Imagine humanity with no freedom to choose. Is that love?
Who is the wicked servant in Luke 12? And should believers be worried? Why does God allow the freedom to choose sin? Why did God create Adam and Eve if He knew they would fall? Who are the false teachers in Jude 1? Are they genuine teachers of God’s grace? How do I know if […]
“Can I fall so hard there’s no repentance allowed?”
Can a true believer fall so hard that they can’t repent and be forgiven by God? Do we receive the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands? If not, then how exactly? Will some Christians miss the rapture and be left behind because of disobedience?
“I slept with a friend. Do I miss Heaven now?”
I have so much guilt and regret over how I treated people during my lifetime. How can I find relief? The Ten Commandments says “no other gods before Me” yet we worship and pray to Jesus. Isn’t that a contradiction? I lost my husband and then became physical with another man. Does this mean I […]
“Confess? Repent? Ask forgiveness? I need clarity!”
Do we need to confess every sin to God? To be more forgiven? If not, then how about just agreeing with Him? Are the mustard seed and the tree in Matthew 13 about church denominations today? What does it mean to be “born of the Spirit”? Do we have to be persecuted in order to […]
What if God‘s not always trying to teach you a lesson?
How does the gospel speak to trauma? In 1 John, who is the group that “went out from among us” because they were never really part of the church? Does this relate to the importance of church attendance? What is God trying to teach me through my back pain?
“I felt so guilty, I went to the hospital!”
Is there really a more punishing Hell for those who deceive women and pray longer prayers? If not, what is the deal with Matthew 23:14? I have been struggling with sexual sin on the internet, and I constantly wonder if I’m still saved. I had to go to the hospital because of it! God showed […]
“Salvation for all who OBEY Him” (Heb. 5:9)?
How many people die every day? What does that say about our human frailty? What did Paul mean by “I die daily”? Why does Hebrews 5:9 say we’re saved by “obeying” Jesus? If we’re totally forgiven for all sins, why do so many Christians ask God for daily forgiveness? What about 1 John 1:9?
“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. […]
What is “grace” really?
Why aren’t there many sermons on being single? What does the Bible have to say about singles? What is the best definition of “grace”?
“Why don’t I feel bad for breaking the Sabbath?”
Why does 2 Timothy 2 talk about purging ourselves? How could we do that? Why do I feel bad for stealing but not for breaking the Sabbath? What is the “veil” in 2 Corinthians 4? Do we “surrender” to be saved?
“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 […]
