Is godliness vague without the Law?*
How do we define sin without the Law? How do we live the Christian life without depending on the Ten Commandments? Did Jesus have any fallenness about Him? Did Jesus restore us to a condition closer to that of Adam and Eve? Why are some people using Ecclesiastes 10:2 to talk about American politics? What […]

“Strict religion made me sin more!”
My dad passed away last Fall and was not a believer. I get very depressed about where he might be. Can you help? Can a genuine believer fall into habitual sin? I grew up in a very legalistic environment, and I think that just made me want to sin more.
Give God the glory? (He has enough!)
I have an ongoing struggle with pornography. How do I overcome it? I have been giving God the glory when my business goes well. Is there a better perspective, especially for when things don’t go well?
Die to self? Or count yourself alive?
Why did Jesus sometimes ask people to keep His miracles a secret? Do we need to take up our cross every day? Die daily? If not, does this mean there’s no struggle? Is this just semantics? How is this an important and powerful truth in the moment of temptation?
“I wonder if I have true faith!”
I wonder if I have true faith and if I’m really saved. I struggle so much with sin, so I doubt my salvation. How can you tell if you are in the faith? What about those to whom Jesus will say, “Depart from Me“? What is “the obedience of faith” that we see in Romans […]
“You’re ignoring the consequences of sin!”
My friend says Jesus is helping him keep the Sermon on the Mount. How would you respond to him? He also says we Christians have a deceitfully wicked heart and that we are still the old self. What are your thoughts? Andrew, I think you’re misunderstanding people and not accounting for their struggle and the […]
“Who falls away from the faith?”
Who falls away in 1 Timothy 4:1? What is required to be saved? Is the “hypergrace” accusation a valid critique? Could you really commit sin every day and still be saved?

Will Christians really judge the world and the angels? What can we do to stabilize our daily life when we struggle? My husband has been diagnosed with cancer and now it has spread. What are your thoughts on prayer and Bible verses for healing?

Where does the New Testament say our sins are taken away forever? Does Romans 7 mean that Christians are doomed to be dominated by sin? How can I more effectively share the message of God’s grace with people of all backgrounds? How do the dead in Christ rise first if we are already with God […]

How would you answer someone who claims that if you continue to commit the same sin, you will not be forgiven? Can you help me understand Ephesians 4:7-11? I know we don’t have to ask for forgiveness, but I feel so distant from God when I don’t. Can you help?

What is a grace-based approach to doing a wedding? How do we live out the message of Christ in us? Is the Romans 7 struggle a description of pre-conversion Saul or post-conversion Paul?

What is the fullness spoken of in Colossians 2? What does “faith without works is dead” mean in James 2? Should believers still expect to struggle with sin?

What does it mean that Christ lives in me and that I am complete in Him? What does it mean to be seated with Christ in Heaven? I’ve been struggling with pornography, and I feel horrible. Am I still saved? I have a friend who says he’s saved, but there are no real signs. What […]

Why do some in Matthew 22 get thrown out of the banquet? Is this loss of salvation? I struggle with sin a lot. I know I’m forgiven, but what can I do when I let God down?

Is Romans 7 the “normal” Christian life? Are we doomed to nothing but struggle? Is there a difference between regret and guilt? Why does Galatians 5:23 say, “against such things there is no law”? A pastor tried to raise someone from the dead at a funeral, but then decided the dead person wanted to stay […]

How do I deal with ongoing anxiety even after believing the grace message? How can I keep the faith when my situation isn’t getting better? Does James 2 refer to justification in man’s eyes? Can we stop believing and reject Jesus after we’re saved? Will God forgive me for my sins of lust and watching […]

Is suicide an unforgivable sin? Should I warn other people about my abusive ex-husband? How should we view Paul’s opposition to Peter described in Galatians 2? If you’re saved and forgiven but keep on sinning, then what happens to you?
