Bob and Richard address another "hard passage" - Hebrews 10:26-29. This passage states "it is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." Sab in England asks about Revelation 2:4. Does this only apply to the seven churches or is it for us - that God has something against us? Lois is a Christian working in a secular business. She has witnessed her boss stealing from the business. What should she do? Vicky in Denver asks about the tree of knowledge - is that when evil came into the world. Why did God create the tree? Does that mean he created evil? Shawn encourages all believers that if they are in Christ, there's nothing to be afraid of. In Christ, we have assurance and peace.

Ryan in Canada asks about the battle of Armageddon. Is it a physical battle or a spiritual battle? Richard answers with great detail and paints a great picture of this battle. Tabitha called to ask about marriage. Her husband has recently become a believer. There are things about God that they still have trouble agreeing on. Bob shares the gospel with Tabitha so that she can share it with her husband. Gord asks about about eternal security, specifically Hebrews 6:4-11. Barbara is a new believer. She wants to be able to share the gospel with her friends who are not believers.

Bob, Bob and Richard discuss the horrifying event in Las Vegas. What goes on in someone's mind that brings a person to commit such heinous acts? It is pure evil. Our hearts go out to the victims and those who love them. The trauma of this will manifest in many different ways. We pray that they would turn to the Word of God for answers. Kristin asks about how 1 Corinthians 1:1-5 should be applied today. Bob and Richard explain the hard passage of Hebrews 10:26-29. What is the "fearful expectation of judgment"? Is this passage true for believers? An email question asks about Adam and Eve - did they really die spiritually? Did anyone in the Old Testament go to Heaven? Abraham believed what God revealed to him and God credited it to him as righteousness. All are saved by grace, through Christ-whether under the Old Covenant or the New Covenant.

Recently Bob Christopher addressed a hard passage - Hebrews 6:4-6. Is it possible to "fall away" from grace and lose your salvation? That's not what the writer of Hebrews is teaching. Context is important. Dwight asked for an explanation of 1 Corinthians 13:3. Does this mean that we need to give all we possess to the poor but do it without love, does it mean nothing? Kade asks if there will be no marriage in Heaven, will he and his wife have no relationship at all? Veronica's question is about the role of the Holy Spirit in our glorified bodies.

One of the questions we get most frequently concerns the Lamb's Book of Life. Is it possible for a believer's name to be removed from it? Richard gives an extensive answer. Derron asks about 1 Corinthians 6:9-20. A lot of religions use this scripture to condemn believers. Is that a correct interpretation of that passage? Steve asks if we believe that the rapture of the church will happen before the second coming of Christ? And do you believe that Jesus will reign for an actual 1000 years in Jerusalem?

Are recent events fulfillment of prophecies in the Bible? Most prophecy speculation is rooted is fear. In Christ, we can look forward to security, confidence, blessing and hope in the future. Carl asks about capital punishment. Does the Bible speak to that? Kristin asks about church discipline. She is concerned that a church "kicked out" a member for sexual immorality. What makes that sin worse than any other? Don't we all sin and isn't the church to reach out to them in love? Bob addresses a common question we receive: What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? If you are a believer, there is good news in the answer!

We begin with Matthew 7:21-23. In this passage Jesus states that to some he will say "Depart from me, I never knew you". Could that happen to you? Bob Christopher has good news! Ryan called to discuss his faith in the face of terminal brain cancer. Should he use his writings about his journey to generate income? Scott's question is "If money is the root of all evil, why do churches ask for it?" Bob and Richard have a frank discussion about the role of giving for a believer. Is it a requirement or a response to what God has done? Tim asks if babies and mentally challenged people are alive spiritually until the age of accountability? Is there Biblical support for that position? Peggy asks "Will God ever stop chasing us?" God's desire is for none to perish as Bob explains.

1 Peter 3:18-22 is one of the most comforting and victorious passages in all of the Bible. There is nothing for us to fear as far as suffering is concerned. We can be certain of our life even in the midst of circumstances. * A Minnesota listener wrote about his divorce. She is making her new partner a part of their children's lives. She has shown no remorse. He is torn in regard to forgiving her. * Tom asks about John 6:44 and speaks to the issue of "drawing". Does God draw some and not others? * An email question asks what is the purpose of Christ interceding for us in Heaven? Don't the accusations of Satan fall on deaf ears?

1 Peter 3:7 can be a confusing passage. It is often used to command husbands on how to treat their wives. The passage is really about the inside-out nature of our relationships. Tom asks about John 6:65 which says "no one can come to me unless it is granted by the Father." A California listener asks if his tithe has to go to a church or can he give to a charity or ministry like Basic Gospel. Giving is not an obligation; it's a response to God's leading. Ron asks if we will be held accountable for the number of people we lead to Jesus? Is there a "quota" that believers must meet?

This broadcast begins with a "hard passage" from the Bible. The kind of passage that makes you scratch your head and ask "What in the world does this mean?". The first is 1 Peter 1:1-6 which talks about wives being submissive to their husbands. Many look at this through legalistic eyes and make it just another list of rules and regulations. That's not what it is at all. David in Hawaii asks about salvation not being complete until you are baptized with water. Tom asks whether 1 John 1:9 was written to believers or non-believers.
