“We carry a treasure within us!”
My friend says Israel is the light, and she is really into Zohar. Can you help me with what I can say to her? Can you expound on the adventure of growing in grace? I’m beginning to see it’s not about pressure or measuring myself. Can you talk about that?
“Predestined to be conformed”?*
What are the spiritual blessings that we’ve been given in Christ? What does it mean to be “conformed” to the image of Christ in Romans 8? Do we need to agree with everything that Israel ever does out of fear of being cursed (Genesis 12)? What does it mean to be unequally yoked? Doesn’t Genesis […]

“What’s the unforgivable sin?”
Have you ever noticed that Jesus talks about the “unforgivable sin” with religious leaders? What does “only Israel have I known” mean in Amos 3? Why did Jesus say He wasn’t going to the feast in John 14 if later He went? What are your thoughts on the Ten Commandments in the life of a […]
“I’ve learned of God’s grace. What now?”
Halloween is coming up, and I’m not sure what to do. What are your thoughts on celebrating with kids? What can I do now that I understand God’s grace so much better, yet people at church don’t agree with me? Are Christians obligated to financially support Israel? Does Matthew 24 mean some Christians will not […]
“Will we answer for every idle word?”
Is the Law written on our hearts? What role does the Law play in raising our children today? For whom should I vote for mayor of Detroit? One candidate is a pastor! Should the sexually immoral be invited to leadership in church? Are Christians grafted into Israel? Will believers have to answer for every idle […]
“My behavior doesn’t matter?”
Is the Israel of today the same as the Israel in the Old Testament? Why does Jesus say you can’t pour new wine in old wineskins? Are we in the end times? I’ve heard people say, “My behavior doesn’t matter, because I’m saved no matter what!” What do you think about that?
“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?
“Why wasn’t I healed?!?”
Could you please comment on the doxology in Romans 11? Where can I find the 10 Commandments? What purpose do they serve for the Christian? I tried to get healed but wasn’t. Is that my fault? Someone told me Jesus is only the Savior of the Jews. What should I tell him? It bothers me […]
“My husband is a narcissistic abuser!”
What does spiritual warfare look like today in light of the finished work of Christ? Paul told the Corinthians they could eat meat sacrificed to idols, so why does Revelation 2 condemn it? How should we view Israel today given we are the Church (God‘s people)? My friend is making a big deal out of […]
“Get busy dying or get busy living?”
What is dispensationalism? What do they believe about Israel and the church? What do you think about the so-called “lost teachings of Jesus”? Do Christians need to die to self daily? What does God think about all the war and conflict around the globe?
“How do we enter God’s rest?”
Why does 1 John say we need no one to teach us? What does it mean to enter God’s rest? What message did Israel hear and not believe? How is that an example for us today? How do we make sense of a passage in Proverbs that seems contradictory about answering a fool?
“Am I really saved?”
What about people who’ve never heard the gospel? How should we view Israel and the church? Are we descendants from Isaac or Ishmael? How can I know if God’s Spirit lives in me? Am I really saved if I still continue to struggle with sin? What does Psalm 92 mean about trees and maturity? What […]
“Holiness movement? Replacement theology?”*
What is the holiness movement? How can I rescue my friends from it? Our kids are not attending college and want to live at home. How should we approach this? How old is the universe? Can we know for sure? How do we relate to people we disagree with on this issue? What is replacement […]

“Lordship salvation” fosters fear!
What is Lordship salvation? Why do so many people lack assurance with God? Did the Queen of Sheba and Solomon have a baby together? My Bible study teacher said it’s wrong to pray for both the people of Israel and the Palestinians (casualties, children, famine, etc.). Is that really true?
You’re never out of fellowship with God!
Is your next sin already forgiven? Is all of Israel going to be saved? Will I recognize my wife in Heaven? I’m afraid of backsliding. Any advice? Do Christians sometimes break fellowship with God? What does it mean that Jesus rose from the dead?
“Does God still discipline us?”
Does God chastise us? Discipline us? What does that look like? Was the thief on the cross the first Christian? Does Acts 16 mean that we can believe and our whole family is then saved? How did God divide Israel’s land? Why? What does it mean to trust in the Lord and not your own […]
Do we need to “hold fast” to stay saved?
Why do Hebrews and Colossians say to “hold fast“ or “continue”? Does this imply we could lose our salvation? Is Romans 7 about Paul before or after his conversion? When Romans 8 says “no condemnation”, is it referring to total forgiveness of our future sins? Why do some Christians seem to have a negative view […]
“Righteous by Birth, Not Behavior”
I’m a horrible person and I hate myself. What can I do about this? Am I allowed to have opinions about Israel’s actions or is that offensive to God? How do the issues of vengeance and judgment actually work with God? Have you noticed that we are so behavior-focused within Christianity? I have forgiven my […]
