Take up your cross? Lose your life? To whom was Jesus referring? What are your thoughts on the Orthodox traditions? How do I share the core message of Christianity with my grandchildren?

How do Orthodox Jews look at God's forgiveness if there are no current sacrifices? Doesn't James 4:8 say we need to get closer to God? What's the truth about crowns and rewards in Heaven? What's happening with those scary verses in 2 Peter 2? Do they refer to loss of salvation? What should I do about my adult child who has rebelled? Doesn't 1 Corinthians 3 talk about loss of rewards (plural)?

If Christ lives in you, why are you still trying to do this alone? Discussion Questions: Read John 3:36 and 5:24. What does it mean to "see life" and to have "passed out of death into life"? Read John 14:19 and react to this statement: "Because I live, you will live also." Read John 14:23. What does it mean to you to have the entire Trinity living within you? Read Romans 5:10 and react to this statement: I am reconciled by Jesus' death and saved by Jesus' life. Read Romans 8:10-11. What does "the spirit is alive because of righteousness" mean for the imputed-vs-imparted righteousness debate? Read 1 John 4:13 and 2:27. How do you understand "abiding" better because of these? Read Galatians 5:16, 25. In your own words, describe what it means to walk by the Spirit.

My neighbors are awful. Is it okay to wish they didn't come home? I felt so much darkness when I was praying for salvation 20 years ago. Now I look back, and I'm scared it wasn't legitimate! Why does John 8 say the disciples needed to "abide" or "continue" in His word?

A popular pastor said we have to use our talents or we are like the third servant in Matthew 25. Is this true? Might we be left behind at Christ's return if we have not done enough? Why am I being viciously attacked if I haven't done anything wrong? What can I do?

What is one important truth you've learned lately that you might share? How has it impacted your life? After Christ returns, what is life like? Do we spend our time in heaven or on the new Earth? What can we expect?

My friend is a preterist. What is that? Should I be worried? Your nation came close to civil war this past year, right? What is a healthy view of Mary, the mother of Jesus? Why does John 8:31 say "continue" if we can't lose our salvation? How can I have childlike faith? 

What is the Nicene Creed? I'm depressed and wonder if I've fallen away from God? Should we recite the Lord's Prayer? Was Peter crucified upside down? My daughter is saved but now thinks Christians are toxic. What can I do?

How Close Is Your Jesus? Closer Than You've Ever Been Told. Discussion Questions: Read Romans 6:1-4. What three events were you baptized into? Is this about water baptism? If not, please explain. Read Galatians 2:20. Explain "it is no longer I who live" versus "the life I now live." Read Galatians 6:14. React to this statement: "The world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." Read Colossians 3:3-4, Ephesians 2:5-6, John 14:20, and 1 Corinthians 6:17. Focus on these four words: hidden, seated, in, and joins. What do these communicate about your closeness to God? Read Galatians 5:24. Notice that you did the crucifying this time. When did you crucify the flesh with its passions and desires? How? Read Romans 6:17, 1 Timothy 1:5, and 2 Corinthians 9:7. What do these passages have to say about your heart? Read John 1:16 and Colossians 2:9-10. React to this statement: You have received of His fullness, and in Him you have been made complete in Him.

Why don't I operate in the supernatural? I feel powerless! What is the minimum required to be saved? How can I share this message effectively? Jesus said to forgive others 70x7, so does He forgive us without limits? Without asking?

Is your heart deceitfully wicked? Or did God give you a new heart at salvation? Why do so many churches still teach a required 10% tithe? Should we still obey government laws if we're under God's grace? If so, why? Why does James say to draw near to God if we are already one with Christ?

Are we just sinners saved by grace? Does God have to break you before He can use you? How do we give thanks naturally and authentically? Is predestination a biblical concept? *Previously aired

Are we just sinners saved by grace? Does God have to break you before He can use you? How do we give thanks naturally and authentically? Is predestination a biblical concept?

I finally get it! It's all about Jesus! Why don't my friends online get it too when I post? Why did Jesus tell Mary Magdalene not to hang onto Him? Why was it so important that He ascend to the Father? I read "The Perfect You" and it was like breaking through a wall! Are we still keeping God's commandments?

Should believers still look to the moral law for daily living? Should I explore the paranormal? Was Jesus truly separated from the Father on the cross? How did humanity spread across the globe? How do I cope with the theological differences I have with my husband? Can you talk about Melchizedek and how he plays into law and grace? Did fallen angels have relations with women in Genesis 3? What does the finished work of Christ mean for our forgiveness?

Discussion Questions: Read Hebrews 10:1-3. What do you think about letting go of feeling guilty for your sins? Can you have remorse and regret without falling into guilt? Explain. Read Colossians 2:13-14. Why is this one of the most powerful encapsulations of the gospel in all of Scripture? Read Ephesians 4:32. Is this different from Matthew 6:14-15? How is it different? Why is it different? Read Hebrews 9:25-28. React to this statement: Jesus is not in heaven dying over and over, so you're not on Earth being forgiven over and over. Read Ephesians 4:28. If we don't have to ask for forgiveness each time we sin, then what can we do? Read 2 Peter 1:9 and Luke 7:47. React to this statement: Total forgiveness is dangerous—but only to the enemy!

Why did Jesus tell his disciples they could forgive or retain people's sins? Is it okay for Christians to have their body cremated? I keep hearing that "God is with" someone? What does that even mean? 

Why do Exodus and Numbers appear to have different accounts of Moses striking the rock? What do you think of the idea of "have been saved, being saved, and will be saved"? Will some Christians be left behind at the rapture? I worry about that! If we die and are already in heaven, how do we then "rise first" at the return of Christ?
