Why didn’t the disciples recognize Jesus after His resurrection? My salvation experience was not emotional. It felt more like being convinced and wanting Jesus in my life. Is that enough? Does God show any favoritism? What are your thoughts on Mormonism? How about Church of Christ? I’m asking, because I’m making a decision about a long-term relationship.

I’m loving the new book, “Gospel Zero”! I grew up “examining myself” and “letting the cup pass” at the Lord’s Supper. You’re saying all of that is not necessary? Do the books of the New Testament address both unbelievers and believers, at different times? My wife had an emotional affair 15 years ago, and I still can’t seem to forgive her. What should I do?

I have obsessive thoughts about doubting God and my salvation. What’s happening to me? Who were the “sons of God” in Job 1? Does forgiving someone always mean you continue to interact with them? I see so many Christians that are not picking up their cross daily and bearing enough fruit. What are your thoughts? How do we love people and yet recognize the reality of sinful lifestyles?

Why try to kill what God has already raised? Discussion Questions: How does the message of the cross help us fully celebrate the resurrection? What does repentance look like for a believer? How does the resurrection relate to our righteousness? How does Christ’s resurrection offer us eternal security? React to this statement: There’s no need to kill what’s already been raised. How do we properly understand sanctification? How has this concept been misunderstood by many?

What does the parable of the unforgiving servant really mean? Does God only forgive us if we are nice to others? What are your thoughts on Roman Catholics who are in the sin-confess-repeat cycle?

Should believers only consider burial or is cremation okay? When exactly did propitiation happen - during Christ’s sufferings or upon His death? Should I be feeling more about my union with Christ?

How can I more eagerly await the return of Christ? I’ve been away from church for a while for health reasons, and now I feel like I’m coming back to God. What are your thoughts? What do you think of Oswald Chambers and his most well-known book? Should we be water baptized? If so, in what name?

Do we need to ask God for forgiveness every time we sin? If not, what should we do instead? My friend told me I’m not a true Christian, because I believe in grace and don’t think we’re under the Ten Commandments! What did Jesus write in the sand that caused the woman’s accusers to leave?

Is there a new breed of legalism today? Seems like we’re always trying to reinvent legalism and make it more relevant or, conversely, more ceremonial! Why does Paul use the word “if” in Colossians 1:23? It seems like he’s saying we Christians need to hang on for dear life! Is there ever a time when God inspires us to confront a friend about an issue or struggle they’re having? Or is that just being judgmental?

Are we only forgiven positionally? Do we still need to be forgiven relationally? Can we fall in and out of fellowship with God? What about grieving or quenching the Spirit? I called to share my testimony of grace and how I found freedom from lust and pornography! Does the John 13 foot-washing passage mean we Christians need a daily washing? How does 1 John 1:9 fit into the picture?

Should Christians stop dying to themselves? Yes, and here’s why… Discussion Questions: What are the true “riches” in Christ Jesus? React to this statement: You are always in the Spirit. Why does your death with Jesus matter when it comes to temptation? React to this statement: The flesh is leftover “stinking thinking.” It’s not who you are! Why do you think so many religious leaders teach Christians to kill themselves daily? How is the gospel more beautiful and healthier than that morbid religiosity? What do your own death and resurrection mean for your spiritual heart? React to this statement: You are a slave of righteousness.

Somebody told me that believing in the Trinity is idolatry. Are they right? My son is currently in jail for the third time for drugs. What should I do? My friend is into witchcraft, and I don’t know how to handle it!

What does it mean to be one with the Trinity? What are your thoughts on the “little gods” theory? What is the best approach to evangelism? I think I may have an unknown sin or unbelief that may be hindering my home sale and move to North Carolina. How should I view the situation?

What is repentance? Are we only forgiven if we repent? Are we only forgiven if we forgive others first? What’s the Matthew 18 parable of the unforgiving servant really about?

Why does 1 John say we need no one to teach us? What does it mean to enter God’s rest? What message did Israel hear and not believe? How is that an example for us today? How do we make sense of a passage in Proverbs that seems contradictory about answering a fool?

What if the real gospel isn’t about getting closer to God? Discussion Questions: What role does baptism play? In water? In the Spirit? React to this statement: You are IN the Trinity. How close are you to Jesus? Why? What does it mean to “abide” in Christ? Are you abiding in Him? Why or why not? React to this statement: Christ is your life and you will be revealed with Him in glory. Explain the difference between location (in the Spirit) and walking or setting the mind. What is God’s will for your life? How is this different from what we often hear? What does Philippians 4:13 really mean? How is this different from what the false health-wealth gospel promises?

My friend has a form of religious OCD, and she needs help. Can you offer any advice? Is artificial intelligence inherently evil? How can my mind be renewed when I’m so overwhelmed by circumstances?

I received a frightening diagnosis today, and now I’m wondering what happens to Christians when they die? How can I know for sure that the grace of God is real? What about salvation being certain and secure? If God loves everyone, why do some people suffer so much?
