How are believers righteous and yet still sin?

If you’re in Christ, you’re a new creation, with a new spirit and a new heart! But what happens to your new heart when you sin? Can it be hardened or dirtied? That was James’ question, a recent caller to the radio program. While there’s earthly consequence to sin, there’s an important spiritual distinction between the head and the heart. In this episode, I share about your new heart and whether it...

If God’s perfect love casts out all fear, why do I still struggle with fear? Understanding our emotions and why we don’t need to feel guilty about them.

Isaac became a born-again believer at an early age. But that was a long time ago. He grew up feeling his faith every day. In school, he stood up for the Gospel and was even bullied for it. But today Isaac feels very little at times, sometimes nothing at all. “Where did my faith go? Have I lost it?” These were the questions on Isaac’s mind when he called in. In this episode, I address his concerns...

Randall from California called in to our radio program to ask about the potential role of psychology in the life of a believer. Does psychology offer helpful insights? If so, of what type? And where does the Gospel come into play given what psychology might say about us? In this episode, I address Randall’s question and offer a perspective on psychology and the Gospel message.

Should someone who does more work than others get paid more? Culture would say yes, but is the same true spiritually speaking? A recent caller to the radio program, Eric, asked about the parable of the vineyard workers. If Billy Graham gets the same reward in heaven as a drug user, what’s the incentive for a Christian to avoid sin? I address our fears about too much grace and what we truly want as...

Alex called in to our radio program to ask about Proverbs 6:32 and, in particular, about the meaning of “he who commits adultery… destroys his own soul.” Alex’s question was a great opportunity to highlight the distinction between the forgiveness and grace we have in Christ versus the earthly consequences we still may experience due to foolish choices.

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. (1 Corinthians 12:4) “What’s my spiritual gift?” “How can I tell?” These are questions that any thinking believer will ask at some point. And these were Michelle’s questions when she called in to our radio program. In this episode, I share my thoughts on spiritual gifts, how to identify them, and how to keep them in proper f...

Do we fight sin? Does God do all the fighting? Is there anything we are supposed to do in confronting temptation? This was Jerod’s question when he called in from Canada to our Radio program. In this episode, I discuss what our role is in response to the temptation of sin. I hope this is clarifying and helpful as you confront enemy ideas in your thought life.

George is 59 years old and lives in Florida. He has been a Christian for many years, but does not feel like he has accomplished a lot for God’s Kingdom in terms of leading people to Christ and making disciples. So, George has gotten down on himself lately. In this episode, I share some encouragement with George. My hope is that it is a helpful reminder to you today of what real “success” in the Ch...

A caller heard a pastor teach that not giving 10% means you’re under a curse and you won’t fulfill the destiny God has for you. Well, there’s no clearer way to say it: This idea is nonsense! In this episode, I share that a tithing mandate is nowhere to be found in the New Testament letters. I also address a follow-up caller who argues that tithing is connected to blessing.

The Holy Spirit convicts unbelievers of sin because of their unbelief in Jesus (John 16:8). But what about believers? How does the Holy Spirit relate to us when we’ve sinned? In this episode, I answer this important question.
