Walking by Faith (and Feeling Things Too!)
Shouldn’t we use the law to define sin? Otherwise, how would we know adultery is sin? Sometimes, I get emotional in church, but then I wonder if it’s okay. If it is okay, then why do church people often talk about not walking by feelings?
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 […]
Unbelief. Pornography. Holy Spirit.
What is the sin that leads to death? Why is it compared to sin that doesn’t lead to death? Should I attend a class that will help me with pornography? Did the disciples really have the Holy Spirit before Pentecost? What’s your take on the Ethiopian Bible?
“I’m Keeping the Law Anyway!”
Does the law restrain us from sinning? What happens to babies when they die? Can you pray for my family during this time of loss? Is there pain or suffering in Heaven? I’m keeping the law anyway, so I just don’t see the problem!
Only Forgive If Asked? Depart From Me? Define Sin with Law?
How is the Christian life really lived? Do we only forgive people who ask us to? How should we understand “Depart from Me”? How do we define sin? What about a believer marrying an unbeliever? What does it mean that “death reigned from Adam until Moses”? Who are the “other sheep” in John 10:16?
Mind of Christ? Soft on Sin?
My wife and I are getting involved in jail ministry! What does it mean to have the “mind of Christ”? How do you keep from assuming people already know what you mean about grace? My granddaughter recently passed. What Scriptures might I read at her funeral? Is it okay to take a break from reading […]
“I may not have much time left…”
What is the status of spiritual gifts in the church today? Have they gone away? Are there still consequences for sin, even though we’re forgiven? I have an immune disorder, and I’m just not sure how to pray or how to be a good steward of the time I have left?
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?
Standing on God’s Promises? Jesus Gave Us His Glory?
Is suicide an unforgivable sin? What does it mean to stand on the promises of God? What are they? What does Jesus mean by “giving us His glory” in John 17?
License to sin? License plate from God?
Does too much grace make people sin more? I think I’m getting a sign from God that I should move to Texas. Am I correct? Is it ever biblical to reduce or cut contact with a friend?
“No immoral person can enter the kingdom? That’s me!”
Why are so many scared of too much grace? What does the Bible actually say about grace? I’ve read so many passages that freak me out and make me think I have no chance of entering God’s kingdom. Do we need to ask God to forgive us every time we sin? What about confessing to […]
Are you saying sin is okay? (No way!)
Did God predestine sin in order to show off His glory? My friend said we can fall away and lose our salvation, because her brother did. Is that true? What do we do when we sin? Are you saying sin is okay?
Fear of Failure? Tongues? Sinner or Saint?
I am afraid of failure in the workplace. How do I overcome this fear? What is the gift of tongues? How is it given? Should we all have it? Do you have to fully grasp the extent of the punishment you deserve in order to be saved?
“Does sin block my prayers?”
Thank you for what you taught me about relationships. My husband passed away recently, and I’m so grateful to know the truth. Can God still hear our prayers if there is sin in our lives? Does God ever hear the prayers of an unbeliever? Am I forgiven of a sin even if I do it […]
“My friend says he doesn’t sin!”
Does God give us dreams? Is it okay to have our bodies cremated? My friend says he doesn’t sin anymore! How can I help someone understand the new covenant? Can you talk about the two kinds of tribulation?
Addiction, Examination and Communion*
I’m struggling with a gambling addiction and have tried to stop. What can I do? Why did Jesus ask the Father to forgive the people who crucified Him? A pastor of 36 years recently announced he has embraced an alternative lifestyle. I’m trying to wrap my mind around it! Who is being described in Revelation […]
Love God more? No, Christ is your LIFE!
Do we need to try to love God more? What is the “new command” Jesus gave? What does it mean that “Christ is your life”? Did Paul invent the concept of sin? Why did Jesus talk with Peter about John not dying in John 21? What can I say to my grandson who is headed […]

“I’m bedridden. My friends say it’s unconfessed sin!”
What is Jesus doing as our high priest now? I was told if I don’t sow on earth, I won’t have a bank account in heaven. Is that true? I have suffered from illness, grief, and loss. My friends and family say it must be from unconfessed sin. Is that the case? What role does […]
