“Are my loved ones in Heaven or not?”*
What does it take to go to Heaven? I wonder about my family members who’ve died! Why would Jesus pray “Lead Me not into temptation” when God doesn’t tempt us? How can I interpret “having nothing to do with deeds of darkness” without getting legalistic? What is a good definition of “grace”? *Previously aired.

“Jesus brought a sword?”
Who raised Jesus from the dead? Why did Jesus say He came to bring a sword? Why do we call it “Good Friday”?
How is “dying daily” easy and light?!?
Are the Jews still under the Law? Are they trying to keep it? Where do Gentiles fit into the picture? Do we really have to take up our cross daily? If so, how could that be easy and light like Jesus said? What are your thoughts on giving up things for Lent? My kids don’t […]
“The disciples didn’t recognize Jesus?”
Why didn’t the disciples recognize Jesus after His resurrection? My salvation experience was not emotional. It felt more like being convinced and wanting Jesus in my life. Is that enough? Does God show any favoritism? What are your thoughts on Mormonism? How about Church of Christ? I’m asking, because I’m making a decision about a […]
“Obsessive Christianity Disorder”?
My friend has a form of religious OCD, and she needs help. Can you offer any advice? Is artificial intelligence inherently evil? How can my mind be renewed when I’m so overwhelmed by circumstances?
“Lordship” almost destroyed me!
Are we redeemed? Or waiting to be redeemed? Or both? Will God allow you to be punished twice? What about consequences? Lordship salvation almost destroyed me! Is it heresy?
“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 […]
“How can I be more patient?”
I need encouragement to read the Bible. Can you help me? I struggle with patience and wonder if you have any thoughts on it. In John 16, what kind of things did Jesus mean would be revealed later?
“I feel like a hypocrite when I read the Bible or pray!”*
Why is it so hard for me to believe my “sins of omission” are forgiven? I feel guilty (like a hypocrite) when I read the Bible or pray, because of my choices lately. What can I do? How do 2 Corinthians 5 and Romans 14 fit together and show us what will happen at the […]

Secret Rapture? Left Behind? No!
Is the Hebrews 4 rest a physical or spiritual rest? What about keeping the Sabbath? Why does 1 Corinthians 15 mention two kinds of bodies? Are we going to have two bodies? A pastor taught me the return of Christ might go unnoticed by many who are left behind. Could this be true?
Does God not hear our prayers when we sin?
What is adultery in God’s view? What about polygamy in the Old Testament? When we die, are we immediately with Jesus? Does Hebrews 10 mean anyone who sins “willfully” goes to hell? If we regard iniquity in our hearts, does God not hear us? It feels like my prayers are never answered. It causes me […]
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?
“A better deal than Adam and Eve?”
Do we still need to deny ourselves? Who has a reprobate mind? Do we go to be with God immediately upon death or do we have to wait? Did Adam and Eve actually see God? What was it like for them?
Try to “abide”?
What does it mean to abide in Christ? Why did Jesus have to be resurrected? I know it’s not about feelings, but how can I experience my union with Christ more? I feel like I have been misaligned with Him for some time now!
04.01.2024 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Who were the holy people in Matthew 27 that were raised at the resurrection of Jesus? Are some people today saved just by believing in a Creator God? What kind of message was poisoning the church and spreading like cancer in 2 Timothy 2? My pastor told me if I left his church, it would […]
Will some believers be “left behind”? No!
Why is the resurrection of Christ so important? What is the meaning of the Sabbath? Did it exist before the Law? What “form of godliness” that “denies the power” is Paul talking about in 2 Timothy 3? How is it “three days and three nights” if Jesus was crucified on Friday and resurrected on Sunday? […]
Salvation for anyone? But the Bible says “predestined”!
I reported my friend because of the way they treat their granddaughter. I don’t know if I did the right thing. What is your viewpoint on Easter given its pagan roots? How can salvation be available for everyone if the Bible actually uses the word “predestined”? And what about “many are called but few are […]
“Did I take the mark of the beast?”
Are all sins equal? What about consequences? And what about judgment and punishment? I drank an energy drink, and now I’m afraid I took the mark of the beast! I visit church services of many denominations, and I wonder what’s most important to look for in a church?
