“Limited atonement? Third use of the Law?”
Our church taught us that Jesus died only for some people and others (who are not pre-chosen) have no chance. Is this true? What is the Catholic view of sainthood? Aren’t we all saints? Shouldn’t we use the Law to define sin? If so, then why does Romans 14 say “whatever is not of faith […]
“My church refuses to baptize me!”*
What is election (predestination)? My church won’t baptize me, because they say I’m living in sin. They say if I remarry, it will be adultery! My Bible teacher says Jesus is the Holy Spirit. Is that accurate? I wonder what God thinks of me being an introvert! *previously aired

What is election (predestination)? My church won’t baptize me, because they say I’m living in sin. They say if I remarry, it will be adultery! My Bible teacher says Jesus is the Holy Spirit. Is that accurate? I wonder what God thinks of me being an introvert!
“Salvation by faith seems so unfair!”
How do you know you’re saved if you’re still intentionally sinning? Why did my friend get so angry in defending his view of predestination? What can I say to him? The gospel doesn’t seem fair when the guy who has bad behavior gets saved, and the one with good behavior goes to Hell. Can you […]
“They told my son he’s not saved!”*
I struggle with obsessive thoughts about my salvation and staying in God’s will. Is this God sending me a message? My 11-year-old went to a camp and was told that he is not saved, because he hasn’t been baptized in water. Can you help him? What is the true meaning of predestination? Can women speak […]

“Lead us not into temptation”?
Why did Jesus pray, “Lead us not into temptation” if God would never do that? My friend is into witchcraft, and I’m worried about her. What can I do? Doesn’t Matthew 25:34 say God prepared a place for us before the foundation of the world? Is this support for us being pre-chosen individually to believe […]
“Is Jesus like our attorney, defending us before God?”
What does it mean that Jesus is our Advocate? Is that like Him being our attorney, defending us before God? I have congestive heart failure, and it gives me tremendous fatigue. I end up irritable, and I get angry sometimes. What can I do? I’ve heard your message on predestination, but I’m not sure about […]
“Does God choose who chooses Him?”
Andrew’s new book, “Gospel Zero” is now available! Did Peter predict his own imminent death? How do we deal with the fear of death? What’s the answer to anxiety? Does God control who can believe? Or do we really have a choice to respond to the Gospel? Is predestination really about individual selection by God?
“Did Jesus only die for some people?”
Why did Mary and Joseph question why Jesus was missing? Did they forget He was God? Why does it say Jesus was obedient to them? Wasn’t He always? What are your thoughts on Calvinism? Did God predestine some to Heaven and others to Hell? What is Romans 9 really all about? Why does it mention […]
“What’s the Calvinist TULIP?”
Why did Jesus speak in such mysterious parables at times? Why are some people Paul haters? I go to a church that teaches the Calvinist tulip. Should I leave?
Work out your salvation with fear and trembling?
Do we need to confess each sin to be forgiven? What about James 5:16 and confessing to one another? How do we “work out our salvation” and why does Paul say “with fear and trembling”? Does God pre-select some people for salvation leaving others with no chance to believe?
“What’s a healthy perspective on politics?”
Why do Christians get so angry about politics? Should we just avoid politics altogether? What’s a healthy perspective? “Many are called, but few are chosen”? What does that mean? How can we “be anxious for nothing”? Why would God create people who reject Him?
Is faith ever not enough for salvation?
Is there ever a scenario where faith is not enough for God’s grace to save? What does it mean in Romans 10 when it says, “who will ascend into Heaven” or “who will descend”? How does the Holy Spirit work in our lives given we are all so different? Are unbelievers really unable to choose […]
“God chose us to be in Him? Calvinism? Universalism?”
How can we understand God’s foreknowledge and predestination? My pastor says we only love God about 80% of the time. Is this true? If God chose for us to be “in Him” before the foundation of the world, does that support either Calvinism or Universal Salvation?

How can I know if I’m chosen by God? I don’t have many friendships and wonder if it’s my fault? What should I do? Why did Jesus oh seem to hesitate but then miraculously make wine for the Cana wedding? Does the Holy Spirit help us keep the Law? Does He help us keep the […]

Do unbelievers suffer forever in Hell? Or might there be an end to their suffering? Do we receive the Holy Spirit through water baptism? Does Acts 2:38 mean that water baptism is the key to salvation? In Acts 21, God warns Paul about going up to Jerusalem. Does that mean Paul was disobedient in going? […]

“Many are called, but few are chosen”? What does this mean? “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated”? What does that mean? What is the message of “Inclusion”?

What does the Parable of the Talents mean? Why is there a final judgment event? What are your thoughts on predestination, the elect, and Romans 9?

My mom received Jesus at 95 years old! Can God deliver me from cyber-bullying? Are people predestined to Heaven or Hell? How should we look at Israel, prophecy, and blessings?
