Ask Dr. E

Full Q: My second child (19) has turned her back on the Lord and is "reconstructing" her world view. She has stopped attending Church. She has gone distant with all her Christian friends from childhood. She has moved out and is living with her boyfriend. My question is this: should I cut off all financial support, including the tuition I am paying from the 529 I already funded?

Full Q: I’ve heard both John MacArthur and Francis Chan teach we must fully surrender to Christ’s lordship in our lives in order to receive the gift of salvation. How could someone be mature enough at the point of salvation to fully know what it means to follow Christ without time for sanctification to occur?

Full Q: Reformed theology seems to be creeping into many churches and denominations. I’ve always associated “old earth”/nonliteral 6 days of creation, limited atonement, amillennialism, infant baptism and replacement theology to be tenets of reformed doctrine but since these positions are not widely accepted by some of the so-called reformed churches, I’m not clear now on what is meant when someone says they are reformed. So, what is reformed theology?

Question: Why do exorcisms seem to be predominantly in the domain of the Catholic Church? Do Protestants in general not believe possession can happen anymore, and if we do, are the Catholic methods the best practices? This may be too big of a question for the "Ask Dr. E" podcast but it's been on my mind and heart a lot lately.

Full Q: If we are IN Christ is there a way that demonic activity can still be “brought into” our lives? Or is it just sin, not necessarily demonic activity? I see a lot of things with this lingo and it never sits right with me but I'm curious about your thoughts. Also naming all the spirits “suicide, addiction” etc isn’t it all just either from the devil or from God? Not all these different spirits?
