Thank you for what you taught me about relationships. My husband passed away recently, and I'm so grateful to know the truth. Can God still hear our prayers if there is sin in our lives? Does God ever hear the prayers of an unbeliever? Am I forgiven of a sin even if I do it again? Was my repentance not legitimate? One of our church leaders has a drug addiction. I'm wondering if he should still be teaching others?

Matthew 25 contains two parables and a final judgment that all seem works-oriented. How should we interpret this chapter in light of God's grace? My friend grew up Catholic and is into meditation and enlightenment. I've been talking to him about the gospel, but I wonder what you would tell him. Do you have any thoughts for him?

Is 1 John 2:28 a warning to believers that they should fear the return of Christ? What is it like to be in the kingdom of God today? Does a Christian need to wait before they're involved in ministry? Can a believer sell their soul to the devil? I missed an opportunity to share my faith and now, I want to go back and talk to them again. What should I do?

1. Why do you think "the word of the cross" is foolishness to the world? How is it the power of God for us who believe?
2. What three truths are showcased by the three Hebrews passages presented?
3. How did God disarm the rulers and authorities? What were they armed with?
4. What does it mean to you that you have died to the world? To its principles?
5. React to this statement: We each need to attend our own spiritual funeral and sign the death certificate!
6. How does 2 Corinthians 5:21 detail a "radical exchange"? What are the benefits?
7. Jesus said, "It is finished!" What did He mean? How does it impact you personally?

Did Paul take the Law with him to explain it to Gentiles? Being nice to your enemy to "heap coals on them" seems underhanded. Why would Proverbs suggest this? What "works" is Paul talking about in Romans 4? What "commands" is John referring to in his letter? What does it mean to keep His commands?

Does God give us dreams? Is it okay to have our bodies cremated? My friend says he doesn't sin anymore! How can I help someone understand the new covenant? Can you talk about the two kinds of tribulation?

My friend says the Law helps Christians live their daily lives. Is this true? Are there two kinds of sanctification? How do we grow without the Law? I have several family members who say I should convert to Catholicism. What are your thoughts?

Is life meaningless without affirmation? What does it mean to find "mercy and grace" from God (Hebrews 4)? My wife is leaving me, but we might get back together later. What are your thoughts? Tell us about that paper you wrote in college about God the Father. What happened when you read it in front of the class?

What is Lordship salvation? What if we didn't "make Jesus Lord" when we were saved? Should we avoid legalistic teachings that place emphasis on being right with God by works? Was David not ceremonially sanctified by Jesse like his brothers were? If not, then how was David qualified to be king?

What kind of power and influence does Satan really have? How do I trust God when I see hospital workers not tending to my mother the way they should? Is God still concerned with the old covenant? How simple is salvation? Do I need to feel assurance for it to be true? What was Israel chosen for specifically? How can I understand the Bible better? So far, I'm having trouble!
