Encouraging each other at the end of the age Is it true to say that god made you so that he could love you? What do you do to relax and unwind? Can a true believer be fooled into believing the prosperity gospel? Is it wrong to want mercy for a criminal who deserves capital punishment? Is it possible to be an arminian christian hedonist? “the reason the son of god appeared was to destroy the works of the devil” Treasuring christ together because he is more valuable than all else The scholar as pastor Everyone who has been born of god overcomes the world Was it possible for jesus to sin? What bible passages do you use to base your claims about how we should preach? Why should i want to be a christian? How i do distinguish between the gospel and false gospels Can i go into missions without a college degree? Should the risk of danger keep me from doing missions? How my pastoral ministry shapes my pulpit ministry What goes on in your mind before you begin a public prayer? Are there any books of the bible that you have purposefully avoided in preaching? How do we know which scriptures are applicable today and which should be considered culturally irrelevant? Getting to the bottom of your joy How should teenagers handle relationships with the opposite sex? Is christianity biased toward book lovers? Was jesus tempted with homosexuality? Does everything that happens glorify god as much as possible? Why is differentiating between evangelism and missions important? What would you say to someone who uses ecclesiastes to say that abortion is a better alternative than the life awaiting some babies? What role does your temperament play in determining your view of god and the christian life? What are your thoughts on preparing for the future financially? What have you done to teach your children the importance of giving tithes and offerings? How is a church bookstore different than the tables jesus turned in the temple? Should pastors have to go through a certain amount of schooling? Boasting only in the cross Do you believe we should cast out demons today? What cautions do you have for the new reformed movement? Why is god just to punish jesus for our sins when doing a similar thing would be so unjust for a human judge to do? How can a business person glorify god in their work? What are some practical helps to deepen a desire and love for prayer? Receive with meekness the implanted word How do you deal with the death of an unsaved loved one? When a polygamist is converted what should he do about his marriages? Do i have to confess my sin to another person in order to be forgiven? Does it matter which person of the trinity we pray to? Do you ever doubt your devotion to christ? How does the spiritual diversity among your listeners affect your preaching? What do you think about paraphrased bible translations? What man does in the new birth Did christ ever descend to hell? The new birth produces love How important is it for preachers to preach christ from every text of scripture? The god of peace brought from the dead the good shepherd What do you think about contemplative prayer? How would you offer hope to someone who is addicted to cutting himself? What do you have to believe about creation in order to be an elder at bethlehem? Why should i resist sin if god uses my sin for good? How do i heal my heart from a husband who cheated on me? How is it that our sins are forgiven in christ and yet we must give an accounting to god on the last day for how we lived? Is it possible to restore a pastor who has sinned sexually? Why are calvinists so negative? How do stories fit into expository preaching? Do you think you emphasize calvinism and the doctrines of grace more than the bible does? Is the united states talked about in the book of revelation? Is it biblical to think that physical attraction must be a component of a godly marriage? Why did god permit slavery? Treasuring christ together as a church on multiple campuses How can i long to be married without obsessing about it? Should pastors get phds? How can i know if my repentance is genuine? Born again through the living and abiding word What has been your biggest spiritual struggle and how did you get victory? Was i really baptized if the person who baptized me turned out not to be a believer? Is it ever appropriate to call out prosperity gospel teachers by name? What is the responsibility of church leaders to committed regular attenders who are not members? What passages in scripture say that jesus never sinned? What are some ways i can encourage my mentor? Should a pastor continue in ministry if one of his children proves to be an unbeliever? Do you think complementarianism is so important to some people that they deny women more opportunities than the bible denies them? Through the washing of regeneration Do i need to understand the nuances of how i got saved? War Is the holy spirit underemphasized in evangelical circles? Subjected in hope Does the bible allow for divorce in the case of adultery? How does unbelief contribute to the need i feel for pornography? What part does age play in considering a man for eldership? Does having a bad reputation make a man unfit for eldership? Do you have a particular burden or love for your hometown? Is it ok to be a christian and be transgendered? Did the old testament jews believe in a triune god? How should a couple considering marriage deal with sexual sins from previous relationships? How should miraculous gifts be used in the church? Is it ok to use musical instruments in worship? Can you shed some light on the tension between taking action and waiting on the lord? What do you think of using the internet to find a spouse? How should i read the book of job? What is your stance on married couples using birth control pills? Do you use arcing when you study the narrative passages of the bible? Is christianity just a bunch of rules for how to live? What is the right way to be rich? How did you do family devotions when your kids were real little? What are your feelings about hellfire and brimstone preaching? Should our love for god be more like the love between a child and a father or the love between two lovers? Is your doctrine of perseverance a contradiction? Treasuring christ in planting churches and loving the poor Is there room in reformed theology for environmental concern? Should christians be willing to read the books of other religions? Why expositional preaching is particularly glorifying to god Is the jesus in revelation the same as the jesus in the gospels? Why do i need other people if i already have jesus? How do you decide what to preach at weddings? What is the antidote for wimpy christianity? What books are you using in your sermon preparations as you go through the gospel of john? In what way is it ok to lower our standards in order to fill church leadership roles? Can my ministry flourish in an arminian environment even though i hold to reformed theology? How is trying to stop abortion different from physically intervening to stop child abuse? Should women become pastors? What are the pros and cons of using video preaching in the church? Should i invest for retirement? The peculiar mark of majesty Where and how did you learn to preach? Is it important for me to become a member of my local church? What can i do to regain confidence in prayer? What is at stake in the battle to redefine marriage? To what extent should a daughter submit to an extremely overprotective father? How should christian friends respond to a friend who has entered a homosexual relationship and moved to a church that accepts it? What does it mean practically to keep the sabbath holy? What do you hope will be the lasting effect of spectacular sins? Watch out for those who lead you away from the truth How do you keep your familiarity of the bible from causing you to grow cold to it? What can parents do to keep from having favorites among their children? How can i speak more boldly about christ? Should christians ever join a labor strike? Should we teach that good works come with saving faith? Does suffering always make sense? How can i believe that god is in control when something bad happens? How can i witness to a person who thinks the gospel is just my opinion? Should ministries offer their online media for free? What does it mean to love the lord with all your mind? Is anger more dangerous than lust? Is it wrong for married people to have friends of the opposite sex? How do you glorify god through exercise? Ask your father in heaven He cannot deny himself Suffering and success in the life of adoniram judson The life and ministry of athanasius When should you confront someone about their sin? What do you do when different generations in your church have different opinions about how to do ministry? Is it wrong for men to listen to female speakers? How did god make evil commit suicide at the cross? The spring of persistent public love What were some practical things you did to overcome your fear of public speaking? Would jesus spank a child? Can i focus too much on myself for assurance of salvation? Can faithful living exempt me from suffering? What was the most spectacular sin ever committed? Why would anyone risk conceiving a child who could easily end up as an enemy of god being tormented for eternity? How can wives encourage their husbands? What is evangelistic sacramentalism? Should all of my tithe go to the local church? Why do you speak against abortion? When should we confess sins publicly? Unashamed Suffer Counting it all joy Battling the unbelief of regret Why does god allow satan to live? Tattoos and body piercing The triumph of the gospel in the new heavens and the new earth Can even the worst sinner be saved? Is it crazy to think that we can rejoice in suffering? How does pastor john handle spiritual training in the home? Do you think everybody should be a missionary? Where is christian thinking most needed today? What would you say to a young man who is considering sleeping with his girlfriend? When do we need endurance? Is it okay to use secular media to teach christian principles? How can i heal my marriage after committing adultery? Is it a sin to smoke or eat junk food? How can i discern the specific calling of god on my life? When is abortion racism? Real What must someone believe in order to be saved? In him was life How can evil have a good purpose? Can you give some advice to those who know others seeking to remarry or divorce? How does talk about the grandeur and glory of god heal a bruised heart? Is it wrong to copyright and sell the bible? How do you talk about suffering with people who are in the midst of it? Are all biblical doctrines equally essential? What did christmas day look like in your home as your kids grew up? How do you remain humble? Why do you believe that infants who die go to heaven? What does paul mean when he says that eternal life is for those who seek glory and honor? Why would a christian choose to suffer? How can i minister to a family member who is practicing homosexuality? How can we help those who struggle to believe the scriptures? How should we respond to inappropriate humor? God strengthens us by the gospel Perception Wilberforce Guilty Undoing the destruction of pleasure Reflections on the life and thought of john owen Let your passion be single The father is seeking true worship—now We are workers with you for your joy Global issues facing the global church The state of the american pulpit today? Why did you dedicate spectacular sins to joseph? Funeral message for ozzie nelson Is god less glorious for choosing us rather than having us choose him? Can i remarry if my spouse divorces me and marries another? Should a pastor skip teaching some passages because he lacks confidence in his own interpretation? What is so important about christian hope? Who was your source of encouragement during your early years of ministry? How does the command to honor father and mother relate to god? How can i comfort my brother whose daughter has cancer? Carry my love to my beloved How should we approach the bible when reading it? Is it ever right to lie? Why do you emphasize bible reading and prayer so much? Jesus christ in the book of romans Trinity Glory Everything Questions and answers What is your favorite hymn? Other sheep i have Christmas eve meditation How should we relate to someone who has significantly hurt us? Should i date someone whose theology is different? How does abortion relate to spreading a passion for the supremacy of god in all things? Is there a place for creeds in the church? The god of peace will soon crush satan under your feet Does our ability to act morally depend on who we worship? How can i bless my pastor? How do you encourage and advise christian parents? Is gratitude a bad motivation for obeying god? How confrontational should we be when witnessing to lost family members? Is gratitude nothing more than a thoughtless feeling? How do you talk about jesus without sounding argumentative? What can we do practically to help set our minds on heavenly things? He did Be different Why i abominate the prosperity gospel The innkeeper How do you prepare your sermons? How can i conquer gluttony? How do you avoid becoming insensible to the horrors of this world? To him be glory forevermore Discerning the will of god Why is it important to take the sentences in the bible seriously? Is it bad for a church to change pastors from time to time? How can pastors guard their time with their families? How should i witness to a jew who rejects jesus? Thank god for an inspired bible Can christians be depressed? Where is the balance between being bold and being gentle? What are some old truths that our generation desperately needs to recover? Can we permanently conquer temptation in this life? Jesus is an advocate for sinners Check yourself Wrath Holy ambition
