“What’s the REAL point of the Ten Commandments?”
A new law in Texas requires the Ten Commandments posted in every classroom. Is that what children need most? Does 1 Corinthians 8 mean we should walk on eggshells concerning the opinions of others about everything we do? Should churches be requiring membership and contracts?
“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!
Big sins? Bigger Savior!
I have committed some pretty big sins. Will God still forgive me of those? I lost my remorse for sins around age 13. I wonder why. Plus, Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” I’m not sure if that’s really happening in my life!
“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? […]
“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?
“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?
“Why am I still struggling financially?”
I’m a Christian, and I know I’m saved. Now, I’m in a same-sex relationship, and I’m not living perfectly, but at least I know I’m loved. What are your thoughts? If I’ve been praying and trusting God so much, why do I still struggle financially? My pastor died recently, and I have been praying for […]
“Love your enemies? What about God in the Old Testament!”
In the Old Testament, God destroyed the enemies of Israel. In the New Testament, Jesus says, “Love your enemies.” I don’t get it! Is Christ still human in Heaven? Is the Holy Spirit now Christ in Heaven? I don’t understand the Trinity! Was Jesus quoting Scripture when He said, “My God, why have you forsaken […]
“A formula for daily forgiveness?”
How much false doctrine can God overlook and still save a person? How can we best understand 1 John 1:9? Why did Jesus ask Peter three times about his love? How were people in the Old Testament saved?
“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?
“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?
Is the “new heart” teaching biblical?
Which verses really say we have a new heart? Would you be willing to ask your audience to pray for Ukraine? How can I believe in justification by faith when the odds are against me?
“A God of love and punishment?”
Is infant baptism in the Bible? How can God love us but also punish unbelievers? Does the punishment ever cease? I struggle with my need for prescription drugs. Can I lose my salvation over the issue? How does God view me? Help me understand Romans 10:13 and its true meaning!
“Oops! I did it again!”
If we love Him, we will keep His commands? Is that a pressure-filled statement? I’m in a cycle of sinning and asking for forgiveness, only to do it all over again? What should I do? Does Hebrews 10 mean that any “willful” sin is not forgiven by God?
“Will some Christians be tricked?”
Should I still honor my mother and father if the relationship with them is toxic? Will some of the elect (the church) be deceived in the end times or not? Is there an age of accountability that the Bible explicitly supports? How should we approach the love and mercy of God when it comes to […]
Scaring believers is not ministry!
Do we look to the church for love and acceptance? Or only to Jesus? Can we lose our salvation or not? It seems like there’s mixed teaching out there about this! Does God want to exalt us? What does that even mean?
Never quite good enough for God?
Is love only a decision, not a feeling? What about when you’re dating? Is physical attraction important? Who needs to lose their life in Mark 8? Why does Jesus say this? I can’t seem to find a church where they’re truly proclaiming the depths of the Gospel. It seems like so many churches are telling […]
Keep the Christian life simple!
Which commandments do we need to follow in the Bible? Can you explain Ephesians 5 concerning coarse jesting and immorality? What is the “simplicity of Christ” that Paul talks about? How can we avoid straying from it?
Set your mind?
What does it mean to set your mind on things above? Why aren’t we required to keep the Sabbath? Should we be praying to the Holy Spirit, asking Him to give the Word power?
“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?
