“Totally forgiven? Or confess to be forgiven?”*
What’s a healthy motivation for giving? How does this differ from living under the Law in the Old Testament? Is there a required percentage today? If we are forgiven of all of our sins, then what is 1 John 1:9 about? It seems like there’s a condition to be met in that verse! *Previously aired.
“Totally forgiven? Or confess to be forgiven?”
What’s a healthy motivation for giving? How does this differ from living under the Law in the Old Testament? Is there a required percentage today? If we are forgiven of all of our sins, then what is 1 John 1:9 about? It seems like there’s a condition to be met in that verse!
“Why am I not hearing this everywhere?”
I’m so excited about God‘s grace! Why aren’t we hearing this message in every church across the world?! Can you talk about legalistic religion (in Colossians), and the pure kind that James referred to? How can we best describe Christianity to others?
“Why will we judge angels?”
What is “repentance toward God”? Why are believers going to judge the angels? My friends tell me to keep the Sabbath. Are they right? Where was Jesus for three days after He died? If God forgave all my sins, why would I be judged for them?
“I feel like a hypocrite when I read the Bible or pray!”*
Why is it so hard for me to believe my “sins of omission” are forgiven? I feel guilty (like a hypocrite) when I read the Bible or pray, because of my choices lately. What can I do? How do 2 Corinthians 5 and Romans 14 fit together and show us what will happen at the […]

Is there one final judgment or two?
Are there always earthly consequences for our actions? How do we stay “positive” about God even in the midst of them? Is there one final judgment or two? What does 2 Corinthians 5:10 mean when it says “we must all appear” and then it speaks of being “recompensed”?
“How can I deal with anxiety?”
Is the whole world saved? Is the whole world forgiven? Does the whole world have the Holy Spirit? What does the Bible say about worry and anxiety?
“Old Testament violence? Natural disasters?”
How would you help a believer who is involved in sexual immorality? Do we see God immediately when we die or do we have to wait? How is God always the same but then the Old Testament is filled with such violence? Does God bring disaster upon us? I feel so condemned because of my […]
“Obedience to God’s commands?”
Do we need to ask for forgiveness? What about the Lord’s Prayer? What does it mean to be obedient to God’s commands? Why does it seem like public prayer is often so formal and artificial?
Work out your salvation with fear and trembling?
Do we need to confess each sin to be forgiven? What about James 5:16 and confessing to one another? How do we “work out our salvation” and why does Paul say “with fear and trembling”? Does God pre-select some people for salvation leaving others with no chance to believe?
“My pastor confused everyone!”
Does the message of total forgiveness lead to more sinning? Does walking by the Spirit lead to perfect performance? Can a Christian be possessed by a demon? What is the enemy able to do to us? My pastor told us we can lose our salvation. Now everyone’s confused!
Wanna be forgiven yet miserable?
How does resisting temptation really work? What does it mean to renew the mind? What happened between Lazarus and the rich man? What does it mean? How do we reconcile total forgiveness with the need for saying “no” to sin?
“Is God punishing me?”
How could Jesus not know the timing of His return and still be God? I’m experiencing guilt and anxiety over losing my son. I wonder: Is it God’s punishment for my sins?
“Jesus did it all. So what do we do?”
Can we have an ongoing sin struggle yet be genuinely saved? What can we do about vengeful or violent thoughts we get? If Jesus did it all, is there anything that we do? What’s our role?
“How can I harness the power to heal?”
Some think they’re hearing from those who have died. What do you say to that? I was in the hospital for a month with cancer and experienced a lot of accusation and condemnation in my mind. Where was that coming from? My dad is pressuring me to keep the Sabbath day. Am I supposed to? […]
“Can I give up my birthright?”
Can we give up our birthright (our salvation)? If not, then why does Hebrews 12 mention Esau giving up his? What does God canceling “the certificate of debt” mean in Colossians 2? I feel like the Lord asked me to do a bunch of things that I wasn’t willing to do. Then I rebelled and […]
“I feel lost now! How can there be a loving God?”
What does it mean to “receive the grace of God in vain”? Why does Paul tell the Corinthians not to teach unclean things? I was a believer, but I got involved in materialism. Now, I feel lost. Why would God make a Devil who would tempt me? How can there be a loving God if […]
“It’s not even me. It’s sin doing it!”
What kind of repentance does it really take to be saved? How can we be “perfected for all time” if we still sin? If we are not under the Law, then why does the New Testament still mention “commandments” for believers? What is the power called “sin” in Genesis 4? And how does it relate […]
Don’t ask God for forgiveness? Thank Him!
Are all humans born in the perfect image of God today? Does Jesus know the time of His return? If we don’t have to ask for God’s forgiveness of each sin, then what about the Lord‘s Prayer?
