Sanctified or Not? (Stop the Double Talk!)

sanctification, 1 Thessalonians 4, punishment, be alert, be ready, return of Christ

July 1, 2024

If we’re already sanctified, then why does 1 Thessalonians 4 say God’s will is our sanctification? How do we interpret all the New Testament passages that say God will punish those who practice sinful behavior? Does that punishment apply to Christians who struggle with sin? If not, why not? What does it mean to “be alert” or “be ready” for Christ’s return?

“Are there two kinds of tongues?”

July 16, 2024

What does it mean to be with Jesus where He is? And why did He pray for it? What is the true gift of tongues? Why do we see something else at times in today’s churches? How do I know if I’m being called to serve in ministry?

“Use your talents or lose them?”

July 15, 2024

What is the meaning of the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25? Is it possible for a believer to take the Mark of the Beast? Can you explain Mark 2 in terms of the Sabbath being “made for man”? If I’m creating a social media platform for the public, should I monitor what is being said?

Life lost in Eden. Restored in Christ!

July 14, 2024

Where is the garden of Eden today? Why did Jesus say “no one is good except God”? My husband died, and I can’t seem to spend time with my son now. How was Scripture canonized? Why were certain books left out? I struggle with fear over my physical health and wonder what I can do. Do we get saved and then receive the Holy Spirit later?
