Questions in this Episode

1. I've heard that the Bible says that the rapture would come soon, but why hasn't it happened yet?

2. If one of the 10 commandments is to not murder, how do we reconcile this with those in the military, and what is the difference, as Christians, in how we apply this commandment?

3. How can we apply 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 in our lives? "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

4. Is the "sinner's prayer" biblical?

5. My daughter is 11 years old and she has a good relationship with her dad who doesn't live with us. He has told her he doesn't believe in God and many of my daughter's friends at school are also non-believers. She has expressed to me that she would like to be a Christian and enjoys reading her bible and I want to help nurture her relationship with God. I just wondered if you have any words of wisdom for me on this particular subject?

6. Can I disagree with some of the Bible and still consider myself a Christian?

Questions in this Episode

1. How do I share with friends and family that they should find their answers for help in the Bible instead of tarot cards, crystals, and astrology?

Questions in this Episode

1. I am following up on what you said about "not forsaking the assembly" in Hebrews 10. I want to go to church, but what if you are crippled and can't get to a church on your own and no one seems to want anything to do with you? I love the Lord but I have no one who wants to pick me up and take me to church.

2. I would like to ask a question about some of the recent statements by Owen Strachan on the trinity. He says that the Son if Eternally Subordinate to the Father, not just submissive to the Father in his earthly ministry. What do you think?

3. How do I parent my adult children while respecting their boundaries?

4. Why should we bother praying if God is sovereign over everything?

5. I notice that people who practice witchcraft or play with ouija boards seem to get answers to their questions almost immediately. But when I pray, it seems as though I don't get answers by God until months, sometimes years later. Why is that?

Questions in this Episode

1. I have been going to a non-denominational church but I was raised as a Roman Catholic. I am struggling between idolizing Jesus and Mary and on the other hand just being devoted to the Word. What should I do?

2. I am a single woman who has never been married but I have always longed to be married. I love the Lord with all my heart. I am going to be 63 in a couple weeks, is it wrong that I am not content in my singleness? As I get older this desire is only growing.

3. Does Galatians 2:20 refer to baptism, or something more spiritual?

4. In what ways can a congregation support their pastor, particularly in these times that we are currently living in?

5. In a previous episode Adriel said that there is no indication in the Bible that Satan hears us. But in Acts 16:18, Paul spoke to the slave girl who was possessed by an evil spirit and Paul commanded that spirit to leave and it departed. And in Mark 16, Jesus said that he has given us authority to cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ. Christians do have an authority to cast out demons, so we can speak to the devil to cast him, right?

6. Luke knew that crucifixion was a Roman form of execution by placing someone on a cross. So why would Luke refer to it as Jesus being hung on a tree in Acts 5:30; 10:39?

2. 2 Corinthians 10:5, the verse that says we must take our thoughts "captive to obedience to Christ," seems to often be taken out of context. Why is that?

Questions in this Episode

1. Is it ok for married Christians to decide not to have kids?

2. Is a Christian who attends Sunday service faithfully but does not attend midweek small groups or other church activities throughout the week considered "forsaking the fellowship of the saints"? As a business owner, my business requires a lot of my time and members from our church are telling my wife and I that we are forsaking the fellowship of the saints because we do not attend other church activities outside of Sunday morning Bible study and the main service. Their position seems very legalistic to me. Could you bring clarity to the situation for me?

3. What does 2 Thessalonias 2:11 mean?

4. Is it too late to be saved on our deathbed?

5. How should you respond when someone says that they've forgiven you but continue to bring up past sins again and again?

6. Could you please unpack Mathew 13:38-39? Are the people mentioned here the Sons of Perdition?

Questions in this Episode

1. What does it mean that God is not the author of sin?

2. I believe I saw a vision of Jesus walking with my minister one day as my minister was taking his dogs for a walk. I think about this every day and was wondering if it was possible, and if it is, why did I get to see Christ when the minister didn't?

3. Is the Sabbath on Sunday or Saturday? I've seen so much from Seventh-Day Adventists that say I'm doomed if I worship on Sunday. I don't know why I'm so uncertain about this but it's weighing heavily on my heart.

4. I have a family member who keeps talking about how the earth is not a globe but is flat. He makes a lot of convincing arguments for this. Is there anywhere in Scripture where it talks about the earth being a globe or being flat?

5. When you have younger kids, there are some things in the Bible that are tricky to talk about with them. The Song of Solomon is specifically difficult to talk about with them. Should we avoid talking about this until they are older?
