“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?
Why don’t people “get” grace?
I’ve learned to say what God says about me! Will the Jews still perish if they don’t believe? Why are so many preaching legalism? Why can’t they just “get” the message of grace? How should we act and respond to people in times of terrorism?
“You sin more under the Ten Commandments!”
What is antinomianism? How can I respond to those who think I’m a “Law hater”? What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? How should we respond to Deuteronomy which tells us not to enter the house of the Lord empty-handed? What about tithing? New Testament giving?
“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?
“How can I share God’s grace effectively?”
Do believers need “a teachable heart”? I’m a new believer, and I wonder how I can share Christ with my family. They don’t seem interested! How can I be more discerning in sharing the message of grace? Are women today allowed to speak in church? If so, then what did Paul mean in 1 Corinthians […]
How do we “worship in spirit”?
What sends a person to Hell? is it necessary to be ordained to minister to others? Why did Jesus say we would worship Him in spirit and in truth? How can we talk about the message of God’s grace in the fewest words possible?
“How can I be a better parent?”
How should we view the Beatitudes in Matthew 5? Do they refer to the church? Or are they Law-based? My kids engage in a ton of sibling rivalry. How can I be a better parent? My pastor is constantly chastising and disciplining us. I wonder: Is this Biblical?
Ten Commandments? Pentecostalism?
Why is it so difficult for people to accept that the Ten Commandments are not for believers today? What is the history of Pentecostalism? What are the false beliefs within it?
“Why is Luke 19 so violent?”
Did James not understand grace? What is the human spirit? Why do Christians fight online so much? The Parable of the Minas in Luke 19 seems so violent. How can we understand it as an essential part of Jesus’s teaching?
More Grace = More Godliness
Did Jesus only fulfill some of the Law? Did we believers only die to some of the Law? What are the “good intentions” of those who teach Law-based living and rule-keeping? How about those who teach we can lose our salvation? My friend doesn’t want to hear me say anything about the Old Testament. Help! […]
Best passage to summarize God’s grace?*
What is “childlike faith”? What does it look like? I want peace with God, and I wonder how I can have that relationship with God as my Father. Can you help me? What is one powerful passage of Scripture I can share with a friend who wants to learn about the message of God’s grace? […]
