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 […]
“Do we only forgive them when they’re sorry?”
Is too much grace dangerous? Should we only forgive others if they ask? Is that how God treats us? Do we have to confess every single sin to be forgiven by him? What about 1 John 1:9? And what should we do and when we sin?
“My wife won’t forgive me! Help!”
My wife won’t forgive me, and it’s been eight years! What can I do? What does Paul mean by buffeting his body and making it his slave? Is this about loss of salvation?
Your heart is filled with sin? Not if it’s new!
How do I share the message of God‘s grace with my father without it becoming a debate? How do the Jehovah’s Witnesses differ from born-again believers? At salvation, are we even forgiven for our future sins? Somebody told me that when I sin, my heart is filled with sin and I need to cleanse it. […]
“How do I inspire my teenagers?”
I have been very discouraged lately because of my sin struggles. Can you help me? Could Judas have been forgiven for betraying Jesus? How do I better relate to my teenage children and inspire them? My friend is telling me that we are totally forgiven positionally but not relationally. Is that true?
“Does God harden people’s hearts?”
Matthew 7 really scares me! To whom does Jesus say, “Depart from Me”? Right now, I’m being slandered. And the person doing it is a believer! How does God view this injustice? If God hardened Pharaoh’s heart long ago, then does He harden people’s hearts today so they can’t believe?
“How do I take every thought captive?”
My pastor seems to only preach from the Old Testament. What can I do? What does it mean to “take every thought captive”? Can you give a practical example?
“I lost my son and my wife, and I need help!”
I lost my son to fentanyl, and my wife just died as well. I feel all alone, and I need help! What’s the difference between the Bible and the gospel?
“I worry about idols in my life, and it’s killing me!”
Is everyone in the Book of Life originally? If so, when and why are they taken out? My good friend has a six-year-old diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor. How can I be an encouragement to her and her husband? I have a religious OCD, and I worry about overindulging in jazz, art, and audiobooks. […]
