“How do I know I’m good soil?”
Why did Jesus call the Pharisees spiritually blind? What about people today? Who wrote the epistle of James? What are your thoughts on it? How do we know if we are the good soil described by Jesus? Fruit-bearing is a natural byproduct after salvation, but what actually saves a person?
“God will give you a new name?”
What does the new name that God gives us represent? Can you talk about the limitless grace of God? My friend’s spouse transitioned to another gender and now wants to serve as a pastor. What am I to think? A church in my area is teaching that we need a second baptism of the Holy […]
“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 […]
“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!
“How do we avoid sin and live godly without the Law?”
If we’re not under the Law, how can we know what sin is? If we’re not under the Law, do we have to put in effort to obey it? If God knew us before we were born (as we read in Jeremiah), then why would He create us, knowing He would send us to Hell? […]
“Is the whole world forgiven?”
Is the comfort mentioned in Isaiah 40 seen fulfilled by Romans 5? Is the whole world forgiven of their sins? Or are only believers forgiven? I don’t think churches preach enough about judgment today! Why is the message of grace not received with more widespread enthusiasm?
“Should I be worried about judgment day?”
My wife and I disagree so much about theology. We have debates all the time, and now I’m wondering what to do. Can you explain 1 Thessalonians 4 in terms of sanctification and sexual immorality? What about Matthew 25 and the punishment mentioned there? Should I be worried?
“Is Jesus like our attorney, defending us before God?”
What does it mean that Jesus is our Advocate? Is that like Him being our attorney, defending us before God? I have congestive heart failure, and it gives me tremendous fatigue. I end up irritable, and I get angry sometimes. What can I do? I’ve heard your message on predestination, but I’m not sure about […]
“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”?
“They’re not dying daily and bearing enough fruit!”
I have obsessive thoughts about doubting God and my salvation. What’s happening to me? Who were the “sons of God” in Job 1? Does forgiving someone always mean you continue to interact with them? I see so many Christians that are not picking up their cross daily and bearing enough fruit. What are your thoughts? […]
“God only forgives forgiving people?”
What does the parable of the unforgiving servant really mean? Does God only forgive us if we are nice to others? What are your thoughts on Roman Catholics who are in the sin-confess-repeat cycle?
“My friend says I’m not a true Christian!”
Do we need to ask God for forgiveness every time we sin? If not, what should we do instead? My friend told me I’m not a true Christian, because I believe in grace and don’t think we’re under the Ten Commandments! What did Jesus write in the sand that caused the woman’s accusers to leave?
“Can I be sure God‘s grace is real?”
I received a frightening diagnosis today, and now I’m wondering what happens to Christians when they die? How can I know for sure that the grace of God is real? What about salvation being certain and secure? If God loves everyone, why do some people suffer so much?
“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?
“I don’t have peace!”
Are there female angels? I’m worried about the final judgment! I just don’t feel saved sometimes, and I don’t seem to have the peace others have. Is salvation a feeling, or what is it? I go to a church that talks about grace, but I’m getting pressured when I don’t show up. What should I […]
“Prodigal sons today?”
What can we do about those who appear to step away from the faith? Does it take time to know the Lord? Knowing God’s grace makes me love His church even more!
Does grace make you passive?
Fully God, fully man – did Christ have the “capacity” to sin? Does the grace of God make some people go passive? Why didn’t God heal Paul? What did God mean by “My grace is sufficient”?
What is “the obedience of faith”?
How do faith and obedience relate to each other? What should we conclude from Paul’s struggle in Romans 7? Will God protect us from physical harm? Is it guaranteed?
“The same sin over and over again?”
Can unbelievers forgive other people? Is there an advantage for believers? If I struggle with the same sin over and over, am I not really saved? What exactly happened between David and Bathsheba? What does the life of David tell us about God‘s mercy and love?
