What Does Boasting in Our Weaknesses Look Like?

July 22, 2024 • Amy Hall, Greg Koukl

What does the Bible mean by “boasting in our weaknesses,” and what does this look like in our lives?

In 1 Peter 3:15, what does it mean to “sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts”?

We’re to give our lives to Christ, but how much living do we get to do outside of Christ? Can we have hobbies, jobs, relaxation time, further education, or other interests besides God?

How Is Access to God in the New Covenant Different from the Old Covenant?

August 29, 2024 • Amy Hall, Greg Koukl

How is access to God through Jesus in the New Covenant different from the access Jews had to God in the Old Covenant? Is the salvation of Gentiles just a means to the end of making Israel jealous (see Romans 11:11–16)? How is this supposed to make us Gentiles feel? How would you respond to someone who said, “Theology is personal and interpersonal work, so don’t believe claims that any theology is objective; it’s all personal and interpersonal and contextual”?

Your Religion Prohibits You, Not Me

How should I respond to a meme that says, “Your religion does not prohibit me from anything. It prohibits you. Learn the difference”?

Why Emphasize Evangelism When the Bible Only Mentions the Great Commission Four Times?

August 22, 2024 • Amy Hall, Greg Koukl

Why is it hammered into us that Christians need to go out and evangelize when the Great Commission is mentioned only four times in the Bible and other commands spoken of throughout the Bible (love, servitude, humility, etc.) seem to get less exhortation? How should I deal with someone saying, “You hurt my feelings,” when I’m speaking the truth in love? What do I do when preaching the gospel hurts someone’s feelings because it exposes their sin, and how can I debunk the current worship of feelings? How can I best love a friend who has repeatedly rejected the gospel because of negative experiences she’s had in hostile Christian circles?
