“How do I find God’s will?”
I’m struggling with the challenge of trying to do God’s will. I want to walk in obedience, pray about everything, and try not to get ahead of God. So many people think you can walk away from Christ and they use 1 Timothy 4, and 2 Peter 2, and Hebrew 6&10 to argue their case. […]
“Is the Sabbath about church on Saturday? Or Sunday? Or resting in Christ any day? Help!”
Do I have a guardian angel? My friend says I need to go to church and worship on Saturday to truly please God. He even says my salvation may depend on it. Is he right? What “generation” was Jesus talking about in Matthew 24? And what is preterism?
“What is Revelation really about?”
Finally, I no longer question my salvation! How can we best understand the book of Revelation? I can’t find a church that teaches grace. What should I do? It seems like so many worship songs don’t really reflect the truth of the gospel. What can churches do about that?
“My wife and son died. Are they saved?”
What does it really take to be saved? I keep hearing mixed messages on the internet. My wife and son have passed away, and I’m very concerned. I struggled all my life with religiosity, but God‘s grace has set me free! How much theology do you have to have right to be saved? How do […]
“My mom died in the midst of an addiction. Was she not saved?”
What does it mean that all the promises are yes in Christ? I heard that you’re not truly saved if you can’t overcome every struggle. Is that true? If we die with unrepentant sin, are we still forgiven? Isn’t it amazing that God has time for each one of us? That’s the beauty of Christ […]
“I don’t want to read my Bible much!”
How narrow is the road exactly? What does it take to be saved? What about my friends who don’t understand grace fully? I struggle with not wanting to read my Bible very much. Is that a bad sign? Who are the people in Hebrews 2 that are neglecting salvation? Could that be some Christians today?
“So many don’t believe they’re totally forgiven – past, present, and future!”
How do we calculate “3 days and 3 nights” if Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday? Did Moses lose his salvation in Deuteronomy 32 when he disobeyed God? I’m continually surprised at how many Christians don’t fully trust in the finished work of Christ! How can I help them with 1 John 1:9? […]
How do I avoid burnout?
How do I keep from feeling burnt out in life? What happens if someone says, “I’m done with God”? I’m an adult, and I’m having trouble relating to my mother who can be very bossy. Can you help?
How do I enjoy God‘s power? Is “easy believism” dangerous?
Many people today seem to be chasing the “power” of God. What is the power of God? What is the evidence of being saved? How much evidence do we need? Where does fruit bearing fit in? What about “easy believism”? Shouldn’t we be concerned about that?
“Hyper” grace appears 4 times in the New Testament?
Would you pray for my housing situation? Why is the resurrection so central to Christianity? What does it mean for us personally? What are your thoughts on “hypergrace”? Why is Jesus called the “firstborn of the dead” in Revelation 1:5?
“My girlfriend just died. My pastor said she had to be chosen!”
What should I know about angels? Was the disciple Matthew autistic? My girlfriend’s funeral was today, and my pastor said only chosen people go to heaven. This worries me! Can you explain?
“Are sins covered or taken away? Work out our salvation?”
If our sins are taken away, why does Romans 4:7 say “covered”? What does “work out your salvation with fear and trembling” really mean? Does Galatians 2:20 say we live by faith “in” Christ or by the faith “of” Christ?
Did I “do it right” to get saved?
Why are the genealogies of Jesus so different in Matthew and Luke? I struggle with obsessive thoughts and wonder if I truly “did it right” to get saved. Do we really have to submit to any and every pastor? What if it’s an unhealthy environment or dynamic?
“I felt darkness while praying to be saved!”
My neighbors are awful. Is it okay to wish they didn’t come home? I felt so much darkness when I was praying for salvation 20 years ago. Now I look back, and I’m scared it wasn’t legitimate! Why does John 8 say the disciples needed to “abide” or “continue” in His word?
“How can I have childlike faith?”
My friend is a preterist. What is that? Should I be worried? Your nation came close to civil war this past year, right? What is a healthy view of Mary, the mother of Jesus? Why does John 8:31 say “continue” if we can’t lose our salvation? How can I have childlike faith?
“What’s the minimum to be saved?”
Why don’t I operate in the supernatural? I feel powerless! What is the minimum required to be saved? How can I share this message effectively? Jesus said to forgive others 70×7, so does He forgive us without limits? Without asking?
“Draw near to God? We’re one with Christ!”
Is your heart deceitfully wicked? Or did God give you a new heart at salvation? Why do so many churches still teach a required 10% tithe? Should we still obey government laws if we’re under God’s grace? If so, why? Why does James say to draw near to God if we are already one with […]
“Does God scourge me?” (Hebrews 12)
Why does James say Abraham was justified when he offered Isaac? Wasn’t Abraham a believer before that? I struggle so much with Hebrews 12 and the discipline of God. How can I see grace in this chapter? And what about the idea of Esau selling his birthright? That seems scary to me!
“I’ve been slain in the Spirit. It’s real!”
I have experienced being slain in the Spirit! My friend wants us to sleep together. Should I? Can you explain the Sabbath? My son doesn’t seem to believe anymore. What should I think? Which is the best Bible version in English? I believe there are two kinds of tongues, and one is to edify yourself. […]
Did sin get “kicked out” at salvation?
What are your thoughts on Oppositional Defiance Disorder? What is the power of sin? Does it indwell us as Christians? Did Adam and Eve ever repent and “get saved”? Why did Jesus tell some people, “Your sins are forgiven”? Is being “slain in the Spirit” biblical?
