What does “born of water” mean in John 3? Does it relate to the “sprinkling” of water in Ezekiel 36? How can I get the Holy Spirit? My pastor says I need to! I’m struggling with depression, and sometimes I think God hates me. I also deal with outbursts of anger and rage. What can I do?

How narrow is the road exactly? What does it take to be saved? What about my friends who don’t understand grace fully? I struggle with not wanting to read my Bible very much. Is that a bad sign? Who are the people in Hebrews 2 that are neglecting salvation? Could that be some Christians today?

Certain animals were considered “unclean” before the law, so why aren’t they unclean now? Thank you for proclaiming the message of God‘s grace! What can we do to share this message with others more? If we all get the same reward in heaven, then what is the meaning of the parable of the talents? And why does one servant get so severely punished?

What does it mean that Jesus became sin? What are the implications of us becoming God’s righteousness? When do we ask God to forgive us of all our sins? Do we need to “plead the blood” of Jesus? Are our sins “under the blood”? How does Satan masquerade as an angel of light?

Do the 10 virgins in Matthew 25 represent Christians? To whom does Jesus say, “Depart from Me”? What is the context of women and head coverings in 1 Corinthians 11? Why are they prophesying if they’re supposed to remain quiet in church?

As believers, are we really ever “faithless”? But don’t we experience doubt and struggle? How does 2 Timothy 2:12 speak to this? My emotions are all over the place, and my family doesn’t agree with me about God’s grace. I struggle with this! Sometimes, I’m not sure that Christianity is more than a story, especially the resurrection part. Can you help me? Where is Jesus right now? In Heaven?

How do we calculate “3 days and 3 nights” if Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday? Did Moses lose his salvation in Deuteronomy 32 when he disobeyed God? I’m continually surprised at how many Christians don’t fully trust in the finished work of Christ! How can I help them with 1 John 1:9? It seems to be the major obstacle for them.

How does Christmas reveal that God is compatible with us? How does God reveal this amazing truth in our lives today? Can believers have their bodies cremated? Can they donate organs? You make everything so simple! Thank you (from Canada) for the grace message!

It’s amazing to be of one heart and one mind as believers together! Does God help Christians keep the Law? Why does Jesus intercede for us if our sins are already taken away? Should I drop my health insurance and just trust Jesus?

I struggle with guilt over my past adultery and divorce. When you warn people about not receiving God’s grace, who are you talking to? Aren’t believers forgiven and living under grace already? Help me understand, and I need encouragement. My son got taken in by a movement I’m worried about. I feel responsible and guilty! What can I do? What do you think of women participating in church? As deacons? As exhorters? What does the Bible say? And what about the two passages on women remaining silent? I’m so grateful for The Grace Message. Thank you!
