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 […]
“Parenting: How Much Is Too Much?”
I’ve been told that I need to step back and not be so active with my children and grandchildren. I want to find the perfect balance and not over-nurture them. How can I do that? I’m a truck driver, and I’m constantly on the road, so I can’t attend church regularly. What does the Bible […]
“Where do the nasty thoughts come from?”
Jesus said not to judge, but then God judges us? And shouldn’t we make “judgment calls”? Can Satan read our minds? If not, then how are we always getting sinful thoughts in our heads? Why do so many Christian parents allow their children to participate in Halloween with costumes and trick-or-treating? Is it right or […]
Legalism is weaker faith, not stronger!
What’s in the believer’s heart? Are we fighting ourselves? Does half of you still need to die? What do Romans and Corinthians really say about freedom and sensitivity to others? What do you teach about divorce and remarriage?
“My business is failing. Is it Christian Karma?”
My business is struggling, and my friend tells me it’s because of unconfessed sins in my life! Is he right? My pastor told me that, when we sin, some of the Holy Spirit leaves us. Is that true? When we die, does the Holy Spirit go with us? Does the Bible talk about tithing? Do […]
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?
“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?
“Better to marry than burn?”
Should I marry a guy who doesn’t share my beliefs? Is water baptism necessary for salvation? Why does Paul say, “It’s better to marry than to burn”? How do you know if you’re burning with passion?
“How can I be sure my household will be blessed?”
Why do you call John 17 the “real” Lord’s prayer? Ezekiel 1-2 are filled with creatures, symbols, and a commissioning of the prophet. Can you explain this? How is true, biblical discernment different from the judging of others that I often see? Did Jesus really say that some standing before Him would not die until […]
Grace giving: The message doesn’t change when you get out your wallet.
Why did Jesus teach so many extreme things in the Sermon on the Mount? What is the honest truth about “once saved, always saved”? Are we really secure forever? I’ve been tithing my whole life, but then heard you talk about giving from an attitude of freedom. Can you explain that more?
“What’s the REAL point of the Ten Commandments?”
A new law in Texas requires the Ten Commandments posted in every classroom. Is that what children need most? Does 1 Corinthians 8 mean we should walk on eggshells concerning the opinions of others about everything we do? Should churches be requiring membership and contracts?
“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. […]
“I’ve lost my spiritual hunger!”
How do our new hearts interact with our freedom to make choices daily? What exactly is written on our new hearts? Do we need to prove our love for God? Are women really saved by bearing children, or what did Paul mean? Is there a particular method or way to baptize that is essential or […]
“My church had me sign a contract!”
Does the “seed of the woman” in Genesis 3 relate to Revelation 12? What do you think about the ground shaking and Old Testament believers rising from the graves? What do you think about mental health issues like depression and anxiety? Are they physical, or spiritual, or potentially both? My church had me sign a […]
“I found freedom from pornography!”
Are we only forgiven positionally? Do we still need to be forgiven relationally? Can we fall in and out of fellowship with God? What about grieving or quenching the Spirit? I called to share my testimony of grace and how I found freedom from lust and pornography! Does the John 13 foot-washing passage mean we […]
“How do I break free from the fear of death?”
How do I stop blaming myself for a health issue that may (or may not) be a consequence of my choices? How do I break free from the fear of death? What’s the meaning of the parable in Matthew 25 about the virgins, the lamps, and the oil? Who is the cloud of witnesses in […]
“Watch out for performance mentality!”
Is it okay for believers to take medication? Am I “cursing” my two sons by pointing out their bad behavior? Why are so many people caught up in trying to perform for God?
“My narcissistic dad raised me in immorality!”
How do I forgive my narcissistic dad for the childhood I missed? How do I avoid falling into the same traps today? How do we approach believers who are engaged in sexual immorality? What if they are justifying it? Is it good to debate people of other faiths when they knock on our door? How […]
Christmas Trees & Pork Sandwiches
Who was Eliezer of Damascus? Why was Abraham thinking of giving an inheritance to him? What can we learn from the difference between Isaac and Ishmael? A friend of mine is a new believer and doesn’t eat pork or celebrate Christmas with a tree. How can I reach her with the truth? I’ve heard I […]
