“They’re not dying daily and bearing enough fruit!”
I have obsessive thoughts about doubting God and my salvation. What’s happening to me? Who were the “sons of God” in Job 1? Does forgiving someone always mean you continue to interact with them? I see so many Christians that are not picking up their cross daily and bearing enough fruit. What are your thoughts? […]
New flavors of Law-based living!
Is there a new breed of legalism today? Seems like we’re always trying to reinvent legalism and make it more relevant or, conversely, more ceremonial! Why does Paul use the word “if” in Colossians 1:23? It seems like he’s saying we Christians need to hang on for dear life! Is there ever a time when […]
“Can I be sure God‘s grace is real?”
I received a frightening diagnosis today, and now I’m wondering what happens to Christians when they die? How can I know for sure that the grace of God is real? What about salvation being certain and secure? If God loves everyone, why do some people suffer so much?
“If God is love, why the final judgment?”
If God is love, and if love keeps no record of wrongs, then isn’t the whole world forgiven and saved? Wouldn’t that mean no final judgment? Is “once saved, always saved” really the truth? And what about Christians who end up sinning so badly?
“I need more self-control!”
What does the number 666 mean? Can anyone actually know God well? How can I have more self control in my life? Is it possible for a believer to lose their salvation?
“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?
“IF you hold fast? IF you continue?”
Did Old Testament believers have the same secure relationship with God that we have today? What’s the best way to share the message of eternal security? How can we explain the “if you hold fast” and “if you continue” verses?
“I don’t have peace!”
Are there female angels? I’m worried about the final judgment! I just don’t feel saved sometimes, and I don’t seem to have the peace others have. Is salvation a feeling, or what is it? I go to a church that talks about grace, but I’m getting pressured when I don’t show up. What should I […]
How do I deal with sexual lust?
Does God care about denominations? Do certain groups have no chance of salvation? How do I deal with sexual lust? Why does Jesus say, “Stop sinning or something worse will happen to you?”
“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 […]
“Satan is all bark and no bite!”
What are the beliefs of Seventh Day Adventists? Are they biblical? If we can’t lose our salvation, then why does Satan bother with us? Is there any lesson to be learned from the barrenness of women in the Old Testament? How can we more easily be at peace with others?
“A formula for daily forgiveness?”
How much false doctrine can God overlook and still save a person? How can we best understand 1 John 1:9? Why did Jesus ask Peter three times about his love? How were people in the Old Testament saved?
Positional vs. Relational Forgiveness?
Is the idea of “relational forgiveness“ biblical? Do I need to get re-baptized? Can lazy Christians lose their salvation? What does it mean to pray in Jesus’ name? Should we follow preachers who teach loss of salvation? I got sprinkled instead of immersed. Does that count?
“I want to know Jesus as my Savior!”
How do I guide my teenagers to live in peace with their grandmother who falls short of their expectations? How can I know if Christ lives in me? How can I receive Christ as my Savior?
“Can I be saved yet addicted?”
How exactly does God’s perfect love cast out our fear? Who were some of your mentors? Did God kill Ananias and Sapphira? What can we glean from their deaths in Acts? I have struggled with alcohol addiction for so long that I wonder if I’m truly saved. What do you think?
“How should we view the Book of Revelation?”
Please explain what you teach about altars and altar calls. A pastor I know claims that “once saved, always saved” is not in the Bible. Is that true? What is the “preterist” view of the Book of Revelation? Does it have any merit? How was Jesus heard by thousands of people at one time without […]
“Should Christianity be restful?”
Should Christianity be the most relaxing belief system on earth? Are we really saved forever, no matter what? Do we need to honor the Sabbath day? Might the Centurion who was present at Jesus’ death be saved?
“Saved” Means SAVED!
I’m praying for a new revelation. How long does it take to know Jesus? What should I do about a church leadership that is pressuring me? Should I be concerned about generational curses or generational sins? Can women be leaders in church? Is “once saved, always saved” actually true?
“Am I really saved?”
What about people who’ve never heard the gospel? How should we view Israel and the church? Are we descendants from Isaac or Ishmael? How can I know if God’s Spirit lives in me? Am I really saved if I still continue to struggle with sin? What does Psalm 92 mean about trees and maturity? What […]
Salvation without water baptism?
Can we be saved without water baptism? If I don’t have to ask for forgiveness each time, then what should I do when I sin? Why did Jesus say, “My time has not yet come”? What are your thoughts on the song, “Better Than a Hallelujah”? Is it sacrilegious?
