Plead the blood? Sins under the blood? (No, taken away!)

What does it mean that Jesus became sin? What are the implications of us becoming God’s righteousness? When do we ask God to forgive us of all our sins? Do we need to “plead the blood” of Jesus? Are our sins “under the blood”? How does Satan masquerade as an angel of light?

“I feel guilty over my adultery and divorce. I need encouragement!”

I struggle with guilt over my past adultery and divorce. When you warn people about not receiving God’s grace, who are you talking to? Aren’t believers forgiven and living under grace already? Help me understand, and I need encouragement. My son got taken in by a movement I’m worried about. I feel responsible and guilty! […]

“Use your talents or be left behind?”

A popular pastor said we have to use our talents or we are like the third servant in Matthew 25. Is this true? Might we be left behind at Christ’s return if we have not done enough? Why am I being viciously attacked if I haven’t done anything wrong? What can I do?

“I slept with a friend. Do I miss Heaven now?”

I have so much guilt and regret over how I treated people during my lifetime. How can I find relief? The Ten Commandments says “no other gods before Me” yet we worship and pray to Jesus. Isn’t that a contradiction? I lost my husband and then became physical with another man. Does this mean I […]

“I was abused. How do I deal with the shame?”*

I was abused growing up, and it led me to drinking too much. Will that keep me from Heaven? How can I deal with the guilt and shame that has come from the abuse? How can I share my faith with my young adult children without seeming too pushy? *previously aired

“I was abused. How do I deal with the shame?”

I was abused growing up, and it led me to drinking too much. Will that keep me from Heaven? How can I deal with the guilt and shame that has come from the abuse? How can I share my faith with my young adult children without seeming too pushy?

“How do I inspire my teenagers?”

I have been very discouraged lately because of my sin struggles. Can you help me? Could Judas have been forgiven for betraying Jesus? How do I better relate to my teenage children and inspire them? My friend is telling me that we are totally forgiven positionally but not relationally. Is that true?

“Does having more people pray with you persuade God?”

Is it okay to get a tattoo? What about a tattoo of Scripture? Did Eve lie when she said they must not “touch” the tree? Are all snakes from Satan? If we get more people to pray with us, is it more likely for God to answer “yes”?

“I felt the Holy Spirit leave me!”

I felt the Holy Spirit leave me when I started vaping again. Did I fall from grace? What is “the free gift of righteousness”? Is our righteousness only imputed or also imparted? What’s the difference? If we are not actually righteous, how would we ever get righteous in the future? How do we know if […]

“Does God see Jesus instead of me?”

Did Jesus go to Hell for three days? I keep hearing that, when God looks at us, He sees Jesus instead. Is that true? I heard a preacher claim that the serpent impregnated Eve. Is that possible?

“Give yourself permission to feel bad!”

Why does Romans 10 say not to predict who will ascend or descend? How does this relate to righteousness by faith? How do we deal with physical illnesses and still walk by the Spirit? When is the millennial reign? When is the tribulation? How should we interpret these in the book of Revelation?

“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 […]

“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 […]

“Does God allow disaster? Does He cause it?”

Why did John the Baptist have to baptize Jesus? How did this event “fulfill all righteousness”? What does God allow in our lives? What about natural disasters like in Florida? Should we worry about having “graven images” of Jesus in our homes? Is it healthy for churches to preach about politics? What is the Scriptural […]

“They won’t believe me!”

Is Hebrews 6 addressing believers, or unbelievers, or both? A family member says I hurt them, and they will no longer talk to me. But what they currently believe I did isn’t actually true. What should I do? How does our righteousness factor into daily struggles with those who hurt us?
