Are we told specifically to remember God and reflect on His attributes? What is “double-mindedness” exactly? My friends are telling me I won’t go to heaven, because I don’t go to church. Are they right? Is it true that we (the people) are the church? How do we best understand the warnings to the churches in Revelation? What about people who never hear the gospel? And what about babies who pass away?

Did Satan really “persuade” God, talking Him into allowing Job to be tempted? How do I “contend for the faith” (Jude 3) with the Mennonites and other communities steeped in tradition? What kingdoms of the world have been delivered unto Satan (Luke 4)? What does that mean for God and His place in our nations?

What do you think about R-rated movies, M-rated video games, and heavy metal music? At the rapture, will only Christians hear the trumpet? Are we with Jesus immediately upon our death, or do we sleep and awaken at the rapture?

What does the Parable of the Talents mean? Who does the servant thrown into outer darkness represent? Hebrews 6 warns those who have “tasted” that, if they fall away, they can’t find repentance. Who is this warning really for?

What does “obedient from the heart” really mean in Romans 6? Do you think I can baptize my own boys? I still struggle with alcoholism and pornography. Am I missing a truth? Or what’s my main problem?

How can God tell us to “go forth and multiply” when humanity is sinful? Isn’t that a contradiction? Why does God seem so different in the Old Testament? Will we see our pets again in Heaven?

My father has a short time to live. How can I effectively share the gospel with him when he doesn’t seem open? My mother is in a memory care facility, and this has caused a rift between me and my sister. I wonder what to do! Can you explain the “left behind” concept again from Matthew 24 and Luke 17? How often should we do the Lord’s Supper? What about claim we shouldn’t do it at all?

Why did God require the shedding of blood for forgiveness of sins? I told someone Jesus came to serve us, but they didn’t get it. What are your thoughts on cessationism? Have the spiritual gifts stopped? I have been experiencing disappointment in my prayer life. Am I praying wrong?

Our church leadership is telling me that I don’t have the Holy Spirit living in me, because I don’t speak in tongues. Is that truly the main evidence of salvation? And what about praying in a heavenly tongue? I’m wondering about salvation and in particular, my father, who was raised Catholic. What is the bare minimum that saves a person? What role does water baptism play?

What if Jesus, risen from the dead, were the only reason you behaved? How can we live differently knowing Christ is our life? A popular teaching has me worried that I might waste my life. What are your thoughts on finding purpose? How do we face strongholds or persistent struggles and temptations?
