The “third use” of the Law?
My sister is telling me God wants us to balance law and grace. She refers to Luther’s “third use of the law.” What are your thoughts? Churches don’t seem to minister to people who are married to unbelievers. Do you think this is true? Does the Holy Spirit bring sins we’ve committed to our remembrance? […]
“They won’t believe me!”
Is Hebrews 6 addressing believers, or unbelievers, or both? A family member says I hurt them, and they will no longer talk to me. But what they currently believe I did isn’t actually true. What should I do? How does our righteousness factor into daily struggles with those who hurt us?

Do unbelievers suffer forever in Hell? Or might there be an end to their suffering? Do we receive the Holy Spirit through water baptism? Does Acts 2:38 mean that water baptism is the key to salvation? In Acts 21, God warns Paul about going up to Jerusalem. Does that mean Paul was disobedient in going? […]

Why did Corinthian women need to cover their heads? Do unbelievers also have “eternal life” in Hell? I disagree with you: Tithing is for today! Also, if everyone stopped tithing, how would our churches survive? Was Jesus born in Adam? Was Jesus really born on December 25?

Will all of Israel be saved? Can unbelievers or children participate in the Lord’s Supper? Why does 1 John say Jesus is our Advocate? Is He up in Heaven constantly arguing on our behalf with an angry Father?

How do we read the Old Testament in light of the New? If upon death, we’re immediately present with the Lord, then how is it that “the dead in Christ will rise first”? Are those who kill, quarrel, and fight believers or unbelieving Jews in James 4?

Are there good qualities in people before they’re saved? What if you’re struggling with sin when you die? Do you go to Hell? Is it safe to say those who completely abandon Christianity were never really in Christ to start with? Is it accurate to say God unconditionally loves some people and hates others?

Is the Rapture before or after the Tribulation? I live next to the mall where the Allen, TX shooting took place, and I’m struggling with fear. Can you help me? How should we interpret the word “might” in Romans 7? Is it a maybe? I’ve heard mixed messages about sexuality, sin, and Heaven. Can you […]

How should we celebrate the Lord’s Supper? Is it okay for nonbelievers to participate in the Lord’s Supper? With a faith-based definition of sin, is avoiding sin now harder? Why does Romans 3:31 say by faith we “establish” the Law? How can I encourage someone else to attend church? What does it mean to avoid […]

Who is the audience for Hebrews 3- believers or unbelievers? Is my original repentance valid if I continue to sin afterward? What if I keep committing the same sin? Is John 6 talking about the importance of physical bread and wine (Eucharist) or something else? What do you think was the purpose of the laying […]

I’ve been swindled out of almost $1 million, and I think of revenge every day. What should I do? Am I allowed to hang out with unbelievers or only Christians? Do believers today need to observe a Sabbath day? I heard a voice in the middle of the night that said, “Follow me”, and I […]

Can an unbeliever truly love if love is a fruit of the Spirit? If God never changes, how can we have a new kind of relationship with Him today (versus the Old Testament)? My boyfriend is just recovering from a drug addiction. Should I proceed with the relationship? Is it okay for believers to be […]

What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Is Mark 11:24 a “name it and claim it” verse? Where do unbelievers go upon death? What do you think of “if you build God’s house, He will build yours”? How can we speak truth without being judgmental? I struggle with obsessive thinking that leads to depression. […]

Was Paul out of line to rebuke Peter publicly? I’ve been taught that God won’t hear my prayers if there are any unrepentant sins in my life. Is this true? Does the punishment of the unbeliever in Hell last forever? Or is it possible that God’s enemies are eventually destroyed? Do we need to confess […]

Why does Jesus speak of many “thieves” plural who come to steal, kill, and destroy? Is it okay to befriend unbelievers or should we separate ourselves from them? Was there sin before the Law? How were people convicted of sin before the Law? How are Jews and Gentiles convicted today? When did the glory of […]
