“Examine yourself” at Communion? Actually, NO!*
I’m loving the new book, “Gospel Zero”! I grew up “examining myself” and “letting the cup pass” at the Lord’s Supper. You’re saying all of that is not necessary? Do the books of the New Testament address both unbelievers and believers, at different times? My wife had an emotional affair 15 years ago, and I […]
“Examine yourself” at Communion? Actually, NO!
I’m loving the new book, “Gospel Zero”! I grew up “examining myself” and “letting the cup pass” at the Lord’s Supper. You’re saying all of that is not necessary?

“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 […]
“Should we beg like David?”
How should we read Psalm 51 in light of the cross? What about the book of Joel? How should I view my struggle with mental health? How can my wife help me? What do we talk to God about in prayer now that we understand His grace better?
When tradition isn’t truth…
Is our response to the Gospel a “religious work” or an act of faith? What can I do about men who are looking at me? My sons have recently joined the Orthodox church. What are your thoughts? Why do so many end up dating unbelievers and sleeping around? Do we believers wrestle with God, or […]
“Old Testament violence? Natural disasters?”
How would you help a believer who is involved in sexual immorality? Do we see God immediately when we die or do we have to wait? How is God always the same but then the Old Testament is filled with such violence? Does God bring disaster upon us? I feel so condemned because of my […]

Why does the New Testament say no one has seen God if He appeared to people in the Old Testament? Does the Bible contradict itself? What does it mean to not love things of this world? How do you know when you’ve come to trust God?
Not enough faith to be healed?
I want to understand the Bible better, but where should I start? Also, how do I find verses on a particular struggle? What do you think about “not having enough faith to be healed”? What are your thoughts on the death penalty? What does it mean to “work out your salvation with fear and trembling”? […]
“You will be saved, you and your household”
Why does Acts say “you will be saved, you and your household” if each individual needs to believe? What “commandments” does God refer to in Revelation 14? Why would Jesus call the church “dead” in Revelation if we are alive in Christ? If people in Jesus’ day called Satan “the prince of demons”, then who […]

I experience blasphemous thoughts and wonder if I’m ruining my salvation. I can sing the Bible! Is it okay for children to dress up and go out for candy today? Why does the Lord’s Prayer say, “Lead us not into temptation”? I thought God didn’t tempt us! Why do we put the Old Testament with […]

When should a person remain at a church? When should they leave? How important is good doctrine? I’ve experienced better mental health through an improved physical condition. But now I wonder if I could speed up my recovery with more truth or better faith? What about the New Testament instructions for daily living – are […]

Why is Romans 3-5 so important to understand? Does the New Testament encourage financial transparency in churches? Is Romans 1 really just describing pedophilia or child abuse? What does it mean to meditate on the Word day and night?
12.30.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
What does it mean to be born or made in God’s image? To what degree was that image lost at the Fall? Why does Romans 14:12 say we will “give an account” if our sins are taken away forever? When did the New Testament era really begin? Another Bible teacher claims we must be baptized […]

Why does John 5:24 say we will not be judged if Hebrews 10:30 says the Lord will judge his people? Who is Melchizedek? Does God judge us for our past or the past of our ancestors? Are we to avoid every “sin” in the New Testament? If so, how? I lock myself in my room […]
11.15.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Is the New Testament message really about Abraham or is it about Jesus? Why does Paul talk about baptism for the dead? Can someone fall away from Christ and lose their salvation? Why does Paul say that women will be “saved” through childbirth?
09.13.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
I’m struggling with wanting to make a purchase but wanting to be careful. How are the New Testament directives any different from the Law? Why do you teach that we don’t really have “free will” when obviously we make decisions every day?
08.17.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Is Eastern meditation okay for Christians? Are there levels in Heaven? Should we give according to the Old Testament tithe or is the New Testament way different? Don’t we need to acknowledge our sins?
06.05.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
How can I know I’ve done the will of the Father? Why did God ask Abraham to sacrifice Isaac? Why are there so many different religious messages out there? What is the difference between having a choice and having free will? When does the New Testament begin? What is the gospel of the kingdom? Why […]

When did the new covenant begin? Why is it so important to understand this? Why does Jesus speak of Himself in third person and then change to first person later in His prayer in John 17? What is the prayer about?
02.02.2022 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
What does it mean to “test yourself” in 2 Corinthians 13? How should we view New Testament instruction for daily living? My friend says she was healed due to a vision of Mary. How should I respond? Why does Paul say he was “crafty” in 2 Corinthians 12:16?
