I'll Be Honest

Does the biblical doctrine of disassociation from false Christians apply to only the church? Or does that principle extend to other areas of life (i.e. work, school, family, etc.)?

There is a way to be made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ. This is called justification; the most glorious promise that can be imagined. But this is only good news to those who recognize their total need for this blessing. Are you a pretty good person? Or does God's law render you cursed under His wrath, standing naked and needy of Another to justify you?

As believers, there are times that we become gripped with such a great resolve to go further and be more like Christ. Yet to our dismay, we often will look up and realize that we got distracted and did not follow through with the resolutions we made. Somehow we got sidetracked; and our appetite to grow spiritually, no matter the cost, somehow dissipated. So what should we do? We need to believe th...

Why does the Bible indicate in some places that God does not punish children for the sins of the father, and then in other places indicates the opposite?

Does the Christian receive the Holy Spirit the moment they believe? If so, how should we understand the accounts in the book of Acts when believers apparently receive the Holy Spirit subsequent to their conversion?

The starting point in the Christian life is not our love for Christ, but His love for us. When we are planted in the love that Christ has for us, it will cause us to respond with love towards Him. We greatly need to be rooted in the love of Christ so that nothing in this life can move us.

When Christ comes to us, He brings all that He is and all of His blessings. But we can't seek those blessings apart from seeking Christ Himself. We can't seek to live the Christian life and obey the word of Christ without having Christ Himself. So many of our problems are traced back to seeking something other than Christ.

As Christians, we should have great expectations that God will satisfy the longings of our souls to know the love of Christ. God inspired Paul to pen in His Scriptures this prayer that we would know the love of Jesus Christ. If God left this in His inspired Scriptures, then we should have increased expectation that He'll give us this knowledge of Christ's love.

How should Christians deal with panic attacks and anxiety? Does the Bible have anything to say about these issues? More than that, is the Bible sufficient for us to deal with these?

Is it a stretch to say that every time God was visibly seen or manifested in the Old Testament that it was Jesus Christ specifically?

What did you bargain for when you decided to follow after Jesus Christ? Are you willing to stand with Christ even in the flames? Even in times of heart-wrenching tragedy and loss? If you've truly believed on Christ, you'll follow Him no matter what happens.

How can you tell the difference between good and bad anxiety? Is your anxiety a desire in your heart to care for someone and it produces fruit? Or is it a lack of trust in the Lord and it produces sin and selfishness? Bad anxiety chokes the word, good anxiety does the Word.

How do we remain humble when we accomplish something? How do we keep ourselves from self-confidence when our skills are put on display?

What does God's Word have to say about people who start off very well in their Christian profession, but then they begin to decay and become entangled with sin?

Christ wants us to know the love that He has for us. But in order for us to truly comprehend and appreciate His love, we have to remember how hellish and hate worthy we were in our lost condition. We were under the wrath of God and had nothing in us to provoke the love of Christ. If we would know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, we need to understand how unlovely we were in our sin.

What should a woman do who is inwardly torn apart from her husband having lived in adultery with another woman? Can she biblically divorce him? What can help a sister in a grievous situation like this?

If we would expect God to visit us, we need to be sure and keep the channels of love open for Him. We can't let the channels be clogged up with sin or things that grieve the Holy Spirit. Whatever it is in our lives that may be keeping us from walking closer with God and knowing the love of Christ, let us be done with it!

Is Christ a reality in your life, or is He just a theory? Don't be content to just go to Christian activities and have intellectual knowledge of Christ. Don't settle for a Christianity that doesn't have a living Christ.

A common fault that non-Christians find with Christianity is that there are too many hypocrites in the church. What can be said about this? Is this a valid charge?

Although Christians may not feel it and may find it hard to believe, Christ really does view them as spotless and lovely in His sight.

Many Christians have said that marriage has been what God has used most to sanctify them. What are some exhortations and lessons to be learned for Christian couples who are married?

If a person makes a vow and sells their soul to the devil, can they be saved? If a person verbalizes that they sell their soul in exchange for something they desire, and then they get the very thing they desire; does that mean that they've actually lost their soul beyond any hope of salvation?
