Did James and Paul disagree? Did Paul complain about James in Galatians 2?Did James write his epistle with little understanding of grace? How do we best understand faith and works in James 2?

Do we need to re-dedicate our lives to God when we fail? When we share the gospel, should we mention the new covenant? I never knew how great the gospel was until now! Am I wrong to pull out gospel truths from popular country songs in the 70s?

At what point do we become so obsessed with trusting God that the fruit of the Spirit just automatically flows out of us? And what about the temptation of lust and resisting sin? My pastor says our hearts are still dirty, but I think they’re new and clean. What’s your take? I’m still struggling with persistent thoughts of bitterness and resentment. What can I do?

Why did Jesus say to “work hard” or “strive” to enter through the narrow door? Why does Paul talk about “running a race” and trying to “win”? Does daily confession cause God to forgive us more?

Are we getting closer to God? Where do learning and growing fit in? Does our soul go to Heaven right away when we die (or only our spirit)? My friends are shocked that I don’t ask God for forgiveness every night! Does Romans 8:1 have an “if” clause in it? Or is there no condemnation for us, period?

Do you need to “die to self”? Deny yourself? Die daily? So much time in these truths has meant so much freedom for me! My two sons took their inheritance and haven’t spoken to me in decades. I have forgiven them and pray for them! How is our union with Christ lived out? Can we really be ourselves?
