Union Changes Everything!
Why does the deity of Christ matter so much? How does union with Christ change our whole perspective? Can you talk about grace for salvation and grace after salvation? What does it mean to be complete in Christ? What is the gift of tongues? Are there two types of tongues?
Eternal Security: Once Saved, Always Saved?
How can we be “faithless” (2 Timothy 2:13) and still be saved? Is “once saved, always saved” actually true? Isn’t salvation a contract? Do we have to keep up our end? Or are we really safe no matter what?
Did I Fake It? Love God More? Really Saved?
I was saved in 1984, but didn’t hear about living under God‘s grace until the last six months. How did I get this far? I constantly feel like I need to love God more. And I wonder if my love for Him is “sincere” (Ephesians 6:24)! I was saved at a young age and sometimes […]
Prayer, Salvation, and Choices
Should we petition God in the courts of heaven? I’ve heard that, but I don’t know what it means! We visited a church, and the pastor said we can be 98% sure of our salvation! What is Molinism? Is it somewhere between Calvinism and Arminianism? What are your thoughts on it?
Codependency, Peacekeeping and Christ as Life
I’ve been married for 13 years, but in many ways I’ve been hiding. I’ve been afraid to be myself. Not anymore! Are we saved by surrendering everything? What about taking up your cross daily and dying to self?
Born again. Brokenhearted. Beguiled.
Why does James 1:18 say God “gave us birth by the word of truth”? And why does James write that we are a kind of “first fruits” among God’s creation? My father broke my heart when I was growing up. Now I wonder about the meaning of Isaiah 61:1 and how God can heal me. […]
“I drank my way out of the kingdom!”
Does Jesus have two kinds of blood? What are your thoughts on divorce and remarriage? Is it adultery? How would a person escape the conundrum of being an adulterer after they sinned? I grieved the Holy Spirit and then ate and drank my way out of the kingdom! Can you help me get back?
Forgive Others? Predestined? Sold to Sin?
I don’t want to forgive people, and I don’t want to love people. I want them to suffer! Does God choose some people to believe in Him and leave others with no chance? Can you talk about the renewing of the mind? What’s happening there? I was reading Romans 7, and it sounds like he’s […]
Savior of All? Bread of Life? Sin No More?
Does 1 Timothy 4 mean Jesus saves everybody? Was the sin in the Garden of Eden caused by a lack of faith? Why did Jesus want the five thousand people to sit down? Is the story of the woman caught in adultery found in the original manuscripts of John? What’s the big takeaway from that […]
“Every Knee Will Bow?”
What does it mean that every knee will bow? Does that mean everyone will be saved? How do we reconcile the idea of people going to Hell? Why would Satan be released from a pit to tempt Christians after they’ve been raptured?
Do we need more of the Holy Spirit?
Do we need a second portion of the Holy Spirit after salvation? Does Paul say we might lose our salvation because of coarse jesting? My son thinks we might be saved by works. What can I share with him? Do we celebrate communion in order to be forgiven by God?
Am I Saved? Put God First? Miss His Will?
I constantly struggle with the assurance of my salvation. Can you help me? How can I put God first in my life? What is 1 Corinthians 2 saying about the Holy Spirit and discernment? I’ve got big decisions to make, and I don’t want to miss God‘s will!
Parables. Millennium. Salvation.
Why did Jesus speak in parables? If God had the Devil in chains, why does He let him loose? What does it mean to reign with Christ? Isn’t Jesus already reigning? What is the least we need to do to be saved?
“What if we sin deliberately?”
How should we talk to God in prayer? I haven’t been very kind to others lately, and I wonder if I’m really saved. Some people say the message of God’s grace is antinomianism. What is that? And what about the “sins of the high hand”? What does it mean to “strengthen our limbs” in Hebrews […]
Assurance of Salvation
I have called upon the Lord to be saved, but sometimes I just don’t feel saved. And the fearful thoughts are overwhelming. What is our role in spiritual warfare? What is God‘s role? What is the mark of the Lamb in the book of Revelation? I’m worried that I accidentally sold my soul to the […]
Demon Possession, Praying for Satan, and Best Bibles
Should we pray for Satan? Can he be saved? What is the best Bible version? What are your thoughts on demon possession and deliverance for believers?
Church Planting, Confession, and Baptism
What message would you give to church-planting pastors everywhere? Could you clarify your teaching on water baptism and its proper place? Is there still a role for confession (agreeing with God) in the daily life of a Christian? If so, what role does it play?
Torn Veil? Water Baptism? Psychedelics?
Why did God raise believers from the dead when the veil was torn and Jesus died (Matthew 27)? What role does water baptism play? Does it cause us to be saved or to receive the Spirit? What are your thoughts on using psychedelics to foster an awareness of God’s presence?
Forsaken? Fall Away? Pray to Saints?
Why did Jesus ask God about being forsaken? Did the Father forsake the Son? My denomination taught me that you can “fall away,” and they used 2 Peter 2 as their proof. Can you explain that passage? Are some Catholics saved? What does God think about their praying to saints? What is a saint?
