“How do I let God love me?”
How do we let God love us? What does that look like? I’ve recently felt a call to Jesus, but I also appreciate the religions of the world.
“I can’t feel God when I pray!”
Why am I not able to feel God when I pray? Is the analogy of solid, liquid and gas a good representation of the Trinity? Am I grieving the Spirit? Am I being attacked by the enemy? Or do I have a physical problem? What are your thoughts on my situation?
“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 […]
“She was murdered… Why, God?”
When is the rapture? What about the recent predictions concerning the return of Christ? Can you lose your salvation? My medical aid was murdered by her boyfriend. I’m asking: Why did God let this happen?
“My kids tell me I’m not saved!”
How do we balance God’s goodness with God’s justice? What about those who have never heard? They never had a chance! My children say I’m not a real Christian, because I don’t have enough godly sorrow over my sins and not enough true repentance. Are they right about me?
“People are telling me I’m going to Hell!”
What does it mean to be “seated at God’s right hand”? Does Jesus pray for us today? People are telling me that I’m going to Hell. What can I do? Why aren’t we hearing people pray for Palestine (and Israel) and the children starving in Gaza?
“Does having more people pray with you persuade God?”
Is it okay to get a tattoo? What about a tattoo of Scripture? Did Eve lie when she said they must not “touch” the tree? Are all snakes from Satan? If we get more people to pray with us, is it more likely for God to answer “yes”?
“Is this really God or my own negative thinking?”
Does God have a sense of humor? Is there any proof? I feel like I’m always doing wrong, and I can’t ever recover the promise God made to me. I need His rescue, but I don’t know how to get it! How can I know the difference between my own brain or conscience and the […]
“God might not want me anymore!”
Are my thoughts from me or from the Holy Spirit? What are your thoughts on the Davidic covenant in 2 Samuel 7? I’ve been struggling with drug addiction all my life. I recently failed again. I’m ashamed, and I imagine God doesn’t want anything to do with me anymore!
“Are my loved ones in Heaven or not?”*
What does it take to go to Heaven? I wonder about my family members who’ve died! Why would Jesus pray “Lead Me not into temptation” when God doesn’t tempt us? How can I interpret “having nothing to do with deeds of darkness” without getting legalistic? What is a good definition of “grace”? *Previously aired.
“Are my loved ones in Heaven or not?”
What does it take to go to Heaven? I wonder about my family members who’ve died! Why would Jesus pray “Lead Me not into temptation” when God doesn’t tempt us? How can I interpret “having nothing to do with deeds of darkness” without getting legalistic? What is a good definition of “grace”?
“If God is love, why the final judgment?”
If God is love, and if love keeps no record of wrongs, then isn’t the whole world forgiven and saved? Wouldn’t that mean no final judgment? Is “once saved, always saved” really the truth? And what about Christians who end up sinning so badly?
“Does God choose who chooses Him?”
Andrew’s new book, “Gospel Zero” is now available! Did Peter predict his own imminent death? How do we deal with the fear of death? What’s the answer to anxiety? Does God control who can believe? Or do we really have a choice to respond to the Gospel? Is predestination really about individual selection by God?
How do I deal with sexual lust?
Does God care about denominations? Do certain groups have no chance of salvation? How do I deal with sexual lust? Why does Jesus say, “Stop sinning or something worse will happen to you?”
The main focus isn’t “stop sinning”?
God‘s main goal isn’t to get us to stop sinning? What is the “little book” in Revelation 10? I have failed a few times at a Bible reading plan. What is your advice? What are your thoughts on respectfully disagreeing on doctrine? Our son was killed a year ago, and my wife and I are […]
“Paul had his hair cut off because of a vow?” (Acts 18:18)
Why did Paul go up to Jerusalem in Acts 21? Did Paul disobey God by going to the Temple? And did James convince Paul to do something legalistic? Or had Paul already decided to take a vow in Acts 18:18? What is repentance? Why did God wrestle with Jacob? What is God‘s view of kings […]
“Should we beg like David?”
How should we read Psalm 51 in light of the cross? What about the book of Joel? How should I view my struggle with mental health? How can my wife help me? What do we talk to God about in prayer now that we understand His grace better?
“How should I pray in hard times?”
Why did Paul have to correct a situation within Timothy’s congregation near Ephesus? Were there women preaching to men? I’m going through hard times right now. Do we need to do something in particular to get God to intervene? People who experience judgment and punishment – is there an end to their pain?
“They won’t let me take communion!”
How should I pray for my friend who may become a missionary? What are your thoughts on the outcome of positive thinking? Do the beliefs of the “early church fathers” offer us a sound perspective on Christianity? Do I need to become an official member of my church? They won’t let me take communion until […]
“I went to Heaven and came back!”
Is the believer’s heart really new? What about the renewing of the mind? Why did Jesus highlight loving God with all your heart? What is your take on relics and icons that some people have? I was clinically dead and went to Heaven. I’m having trouble interpreting what Jesus said to me. Can you help?
