It’s Mailbag Friday! Is it okay to deny Christ to save another’s life?

It’s Mailbag Friday! You have questions. We have answers.

If you have any questions, comments, conundrums, snarks, or ideas send them to [email protected].

Segment 1

Should we simplify the gospel for young children? For example, should we mention things like hell? -Jeremey

My family and I have been attending a church for a while but are not yet members. They asked my husband to help with the music. I feel he should be a member before serving. It makes me wonder if this is a church we should join. What are your thoughts? -Anonymous

Segment 2

Can you discuss church constitutions, specifically elder-led versus congregationally-directed governance models and the hybrids in between? -Anonymous

What are your thoughts on Christians using religious greetings and sayings from other faiths, like saying ‘Namaste’ to a Hindu or ‘Blessed be’ to a Wiccan? I want to be respectful of other cultures but not dishonor God. Is it okay or should these be avoided? -Kenny

Should Christians be in support of the building of the 3rd Temple? -Anonymous

Segment 3

My wife and I (married for nearly 7 years) just realized we disagree on if women should or can be pastors. How do we come to an understanding as a couple if we don’t agree? -Anonymous

If someone breaks into my home and holds a gun to my friend’s head, demanding that I deny Christ or else they will kill my friend, what should I do? I don’t want to deny Christ, but I also don’t want my friend to die because of my choice. What does Scripture instruct in this kind of scenario? -Joe

What’s your approach to witnessing effectively to atheists online? Or do you think online witnessing isn’t worth it compared to in-person, where it seems more effective? I’m trying to be a good ambassador but it’s tough to break through their veneer online. -Rob

Segment 4

Given the one flesh nature of marriage, do you think it’s appropriate to always study scripture with your wife, or is individual personal study still important? I’ve been thinking more and more about marriage lately and studying scripture with my wife is something I’m particularly excited about so I was curious about the one flesh aspect of things. -William

It seems I will remain single due to consistently being rejected. So my question is, how can I remove my desire for marriage? -Mike

I came across someone advocating conservative Christians join liberal mainline Protestant churches to try to make them more conservative again. My question is twofold: 1) When a church goes liberal, should conservatives stay or split? And 2) Is there merit to joining liberal churches to try to steer them back to conservatism? -Corey

Just heard about your demonetization on YouTube. Do you think that we are coming full circle with “speech” and that the only place speech will be free WILL BE OUT IN THE OPEN AIR???? -Anonymous
