Key questions answered in today's show:

1. Why are certain groups like Mormons better at evangelism than certain protestant groups?

2. I recently read an article from the BBC about a 14 year old girl who committed suicide because of her fear that her church wouldn't accept her as a Gay Christian. Once that information came out, her former church has since changed their stance on Gay Marriage. They now profess to be an inclusive Church, "embracing everyone, regardless of gender, race, disability or sexuality". Was this the right response of her church?

3. I am still struggling with some of the sins that I committed when I was a new Christian, and now after being a Christian for more than 15 years it feels like I haven't made much progress at all. How can I get past some of these sins and continue to grow?

4. What does Paul mean in 1 Corinthians when he says that the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing?

5. Does being gospel-centered mean we shouldn't care about non-essentials like the nature of the church or baptism?

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. In an article you wrote called What every Christian needs to Know about suffering you said, "There is no promise in Scripture that believers will be protected from the common evils that go with living in a fallen, sinful world."

2. Should Christians accept or reject the idea of masculinity?

3. How do you understand 1 Corinthians 10:23 where Paul says, "'All things are lawful,' but not all things are "helpful"?

4. The beginning of 2nd Peter 1 puts a lot of emphasis on the need for a godly life and not just faith. Does this mean that unless we can't be saved unless we are godly?
