Jesus is the “bread of life”? What’s that really mean?

Who is the cloud of witnesses in Hebrews 12? Can people see us from heaven? Why don’t we hear more about Joseph in the Gospel of John? What does it mean that Christ is the “bread of life”? How will we relate to Jesus one-on-one in heaven?

“Does God scourge me?” (Hebrews 12)

Why does James say Abraham was justified when he offered Isaac? Wasn’t Abraham a believer before that? I struggle so much with Hebrews 12 and the discipline of God. How can I see grace in this chapter? And what about the idea of Esau selling his birthright? That seems scary to me!

“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 […]

Does God really “scourge” us? (Hebrews 12)

Why does Jesus tell people to chop off their hands and pluck out their eyes? What is He really getting at? What does God’s discipline look like? How is it different from punishment? Why does Hebrews 12 talk about God “scourging” us?

Confess every sin to be forgiven?

Is the new covenant a “renewed” covenant? This ministry saved my life! Why does Hebrews 12 talk about God’s discipline in connection with holiness?

Does Galatians 2:20 say it’s faith “in” Jesus or the faith “of” Jesus? How do I share the Gospel with unbelievers in an organic way? I’ve had panic attacks and wonder if it’s because of my sins. How is God’s discipline different from punishment? I haven’t heard God’s voice lately, and it concerns me. Should […]

My friend says we have to love others in order to stay saved. He uses 1 John 3:23 as his proof text. What are your thoughts? What does it mean to have a “root of bitterness”? Do some Christians have idols in their hearts? What can we say to people of other religions? For example, […]
