“Why be a Christian?”
I have feelings for an old boyfriend who says he’s born again now. It hasn’t been very long, so what should I do? How do we get rid of idols in our lives and put God first? How do we know there’s a God at all? What could we tell an unbeliever about the benefits […]
Does all sickness come from the soul?
Is there a rapture? How many judgments will there be? Does all sickness come from the soul? Does committing a willful sin mean you’re not saved? How and when exactly are we saved? Should I separate from or divorce my husband? It’s been many years of struggle and abuse. If every knee will bow, then […]
The Paralysis of Analysis
Whom did God give over in Romans 1? Why? Is water baptism necessary to be saved? How do we know whether we are operating by the Spirit or by human effort?
Bearing fruit without being legalistic?
What does it mean to abide in Christ? Can we lose our salvation? How is discipline different from punishment? Is purgatory biblical? How do we walk in obedience without being legalistic?
“What about pastors who are no longer Christians?”
What does it mean to walk in Him just as you received Him? What is setting your mind? Why does Paul give us a “test” to pass? What about pastors who say they’re no longer Christians?
“Jesus did it all. So what do we do?”
Can we have an ongoing sin struggle yet be genuinely saved? What can we do about vengeful or violent thoughts we get? If Jesus did it all, is there anything that we do? What’s our role?
Is a “western mindset” an obstacle for God?
Can you receive the Gospel and not have it take it root? How do we minister to the youth of today? Do we need to worry about having a western mindset when it comes to Scripture?
More Grace = More Godliness
Did Jesus only fulfill some of the Law? Did we believers only die to some of the Law? What are the “good intentions” of those who teach Law-based living and rule-keeping? How about those who teach we can lose our salvation? My friend doesn’t want to hear me say anything about the Old Testament. Help! […]
Scaring believers is not ministry!
Do we look to the church for love and acceptance? Or only to Jesus? Can we lose our salvation or not? It seems like there’s mixed teaching out there about this! Does God want to exalt us? What does that even mean?
“I’ve lost my motivation!”
Sometimes, I wonder about my salvation. I did backslide a while ago. Now I wonder about my desire to read the Bible, attend church and donate money. I guess I’m just wondering why I’ve lost my motivation and how I can get it back!
“Hosea married a prostitute?”*
Why do some people only read what appears to be half of Romans 8:1? Should I be good friends with unbelievers if they’re pulling me away from other Christians? Does Hebrew 6 mean the blood of Jesus could run out on me? I don’t understand the Old Testament story of Hosea and Gomer. Why would […]

“I feel lost now! How can there be a loving God?”
What does it mean to “receive the grace of God in vain”? Why does Paul tell the Corinthians not to teach unclean things? I was a believer, but I got involved in materialism. Now, I feel lost. Why would God make a Devil who would tempt me? How can there be a loving God if […]
Does Christ live in everyone? No!
What is Lordship salvation? Where does it come from? What is the sin that leads to death? Should I pray for foreign leaders that I disagree with? Is it accurate to say that Christ lives in everyone and they just don’t realize it yet? How can I find peace with God?
“It’s not even me. It’s sin doing it!”
What kind of repentance does it really take to be saved? How can we be “perfected for all time” if we still sin? If we are not under the Law, then why does the New Testament still mention “commandments” for believers? What is the power called “sin” in Genesis 4? And how does it relate […]
Are we giving Satan too much power?
What should you do when you don’t feel God is pleased with you? How could the people mentioned in Matthew 7 cast out demons and heal if they weren’t saved? Does Hebrews 6 suggest you can lose your salvation? What does it mean to be “glorified” in Romans 8:30? Are we giving too much power […]
How are cremated bodies made new?
What happens to those who were cremated at the return of Christ? Did all of humanity die with Christ? If Adam was created perfect, why was he tempted to become like God? How can I handle the struggles of daily life in a deteriorating living situation?
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 […]
Can we disappoint God?
Can we disappoint God? How should I respond to a pastor who says not all Christians will get into Heaven? I’m concerned about my brother’s salvation after his divorce and joining the Masons—what should I do?
Are we giving too much power to Satan?
What should you do when you don’t feel God is pleased with you? How could people cast out demons and heal in Matthew 7 if they weren’t even saved? Does Hebrews 6 suggest you can lose your salvation? What does it mean to be “glorified” in Romans 8:30? Are we giving too much power to […]
