They asked me: “You’re saved, but are you a disciple?”
I’m worried my love might grow cold and that I won’t stand firm until the end (Matthew 24). What can I do? I heard it’s not enough to be saved and now I need to be a disciple. What are your thoughts on this? My son is convinced we need to go to church on […]
Your heart is filled with sin? Not if it’s new!
How do I share the message of God‘s grace with my father without it becoming a debate? How do the Jehovah’s Witnesses differ from born-again believers? At salvation, are we even forgiven for our future sins? Somebody told me that when I sin, my heart is filled with sin and I need to cleanse it. […]
“One kind of tongues or two?”
How can we share the gospel with those in an alternative lifestyle? Is the unpardonable sin only the Jews’ rejection of Jesus‘s miracles? Or is it rejection of Jesus by any of us? There are so many opinions about tongues. What is the truth?
“Salvation by faith seems so unfair!”
How do you know you’re saved if you’re still intentionally sinning? Why did my friend get so angry in defending his view of predestination? What can I say to him? The gospel doesn’t seem fair when the guy who has bad behavior gets saved, and the one with good behavior goes to Hell. Can you […]

“Did I forfeit my salvation?”
What is the punishment mentioned in 2 Corinthians 10? How does it relate to “taking every thought captive”? What is the “courts of Heaven” teaching? Which verses say the Trinity never had a beginning? I’m trying to figure out if I was truly saved long ago. Also, I made a deal with God to give […]
“If I’m saved, where are the daily doubts coming from?”
I continue to struggle with pornography. What can I do differently? Did Enoch and Elijah get a special death-free experience from God?

“What is repentance to be saved?”

“How do I know I’m good soil?”
Why did Jesus call the Pharisees spiritually blind? What about people today? Who wrote the epistle of James? What are your thoughts on it? How do we know if we are the good soil described by Jesus? Fruit-bearing is a natural byproduct after salvation, but what actually saves a person?
“They told my son he’s not saved!”*
I struggle with obsessive thoughts about my salvation and staying in God’s will. Is this God sending me a message?

“God will give you a new name?”
What does the new name that God gives us represent? Can you talk about the limitless grace of God? My friend’s spouse transitioned to another gender and now wants to serve as a pastor. What am I to think? A church in my area is teaching that we need a second baptism of the Holy […]

“Lead us not into temptation”?
Why did Jesus pray, “Lead us not into temptation” if God would never do that? My friend is into witchcraft, and I’m worried about her. What can I do?

“Did I believe with my head, not my heart?”
To what degree should we listen to other points of view on losing our salvation? I’m concerned that I only believed with my head and not my heart. Should I be worried? Why did Jesus breathe the Holy Spirit on them in John 20? Does that passage mean we get saved and then pursue a […]
Woulda? Coulda? Shoulda? Sins of omission?
What does James 4:17 mean? Does this verse justify a general guilt over “sins of omission”? Why does 1 John 3 talk about getting whatever we ask for from God? I’ve heard that we shouldn’t even pay attention to being wronged by others? Is that true? Is that healthy? Is it possible that I was […]
“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 […]
