Eternal Security: Once Saved, Always Saved?
How can we be “faithless” (2 Timothy 2:13) and still be saved? Is “once saved, always saved” actually true? Isn’t salvation a contract? Do we have to keep up our end? Or are we really safe no matter what?
Anxiety, Forgiveness, and New Life
Will there be a third temple ushering in the end times? I pray all the time, trying to give God my anxiety, but I still feel stressed. Am I not trusting Him? Why didn’t Adam just ask God to forgive him? Who was Melchizedek? Why is he important today?
“I’m SO excited about the gospel!”
Do we need to re-dedicate our lives to God when we fail? When we share the gospel, should we mention the new covenant? I never knew how great the gospel was until now! Am I wrong to pull out gospel truths from popular country songs in the 70s?
Baptism. Covenant. Sacrifice.
Did John the Baptist have the Holy Spirit his whole life? What did water baptism mean in those days? When did the new covenant really begin? Why was Cain’s sacrifice rejected? Will I ever understand the Trinity?
“Do I Know More Than Some Pastors?”
What does it mean to find mercy and grace in our time of need? I feel like I understand the new covenant better than most pastors I know. Why is that? How do I know when the Holy Spirit is prompting me to do something?
Just discovered my “new self.” Am I crazy?!
Do people who reject “once saved, always saved” really believe God might kick us when we’re down? What can you say about Christ as the Living Word? How can I share the “Christ in you” message effectively with others? What happens to Jews (and Gentiles) who don’t hear and believe the gospel today? And what […]
Are You Good, Evil or Both?*
Why do some translations of John 3:16 not say “begotten”? What does “begotten” refer to? Hasn’t Jesus always existed? In Genesis 6, God sees evil everywhere. What about now? And does He see believers the same way? What does “I die daily” mean in 1 Corinthians 15? What did Jews in the Old Testament (and […]

Catholics, Jews, and Protestants
How do you reconcile Revelation 7 and 19 with the church being left behind and not “taken away”? At what point were the Jews no longer doing the right thing with their Temple practices? Also, wasn’t righteousness always by faith anyway? Did Martin Luther delete certain books from the Bible? A Catholic person told me […]
“My friend says he doesn’t sin!”
Does God give us dreams? Is it okay to have our bodies cremated? My friend says he doesn’t sin anymore! How can I help someone understand the new covenant? Can you talk about the two kinds of tribulation?
A Deal’s a Deal: There’s No Law in Your Grace!
I’ve been listening to “The Grace Message for five years. My family and I thank you! Why wasn’t Moses allowed to go into the Promised Land? What does this show us today? And what about Abraham and Isaac? Any New Testament takeaways for us?
“No condemnation if we walk rightly?”
What is covenant theology? Are we under the new covenant today? Or does it begin later? I read Romans 8 about “no condemnation” and still get confused and feel guilty. Do I need to live or “walk” a certain way to be freed from condemnation daily? What are your thoughts about the numbers and patterns […]
Are we doing church all wrong today?
Were there sermons in the early church? Were there pastors? Were some early church leaders supported by their congregations? What is the new covenant? Do we need to balance law and grace?
Why ask for what you already have?
How is forgiveness different in the old covenant versus the new covenant? What is the finished work of Christ? What is the significance of Jesus being seated at God’s right hand? Why shouldn’t we continue to ask for forgiveness? What should we do instead?
What is “grace” really?
Why aren’t there many sermons on being single? What does the Bible have to say about singles? What is the best definition of “grace”?
“Why don’t I feel bad for breaking the Sabbath?”
Why does 2 Timothy 2 talk about purging ourselves? How could we do that? Why do I feel bad for stealing but not for breaking the Sabbath? What is the “veil” in 2 Corinthians 4? Do we “surrender” to be saved?
“Will I be cursed for not tithing?”
What if our worship songs were truly motivated by the new covenant message of our union with Christ? My son is a believer struggling with same-sex attraction, and he’s wondering if it will prevent him from going to heaven? If I don’t tithe, will I be cursed?
“Do divorce and remarriage mean perpetual adultery?”
What’s wrong with mixing the old and new covenants? Do those who die young miss God’s blessing (of a long life)? I grew up Jewish. Now I’m a believer, and I wonder where my Jewish heritage fits in. Does Romans 7 say that divorced and remarried Christians are living in perpetual adultery?
Are there “levels of welcome” in Heaven?*
What is the gospel? Does 2 Peter 1 imply levels of welcome in Heaven? Who was Melchizedek and what role does he play? *previously aired
