I am afraid of failure in the workplace. How do I overcome this fear? What is the gift of tongues? How is it given? Should we all have it? Do you have to fully grasp the extent of the punishment you deserve in order to be saved?

Thank you for what you taught me about relationships. My husband passed away recently, and I’m so grateful to know the truth. Can God still hear our prayers if there is sin in our lives? Does God ever hear the prayers of an unbeliever? Am I forgiven of a sin even if I do it again? Was my repentance not legitimate? One of our church leaders has a drug addiction. I’m wondering if he should still be teaching others?

Matthew 25 contains two parables and a final judgment that all seem works-oriented. How should we interpret this chapter in light of God’s grace? My friend grew up Catholic and is into meditation and enlightenment. I’ve been talking to him about the gospel, but I wonder what you would tell him. Do you have any thoughts for him?

Is 1 John 2:28 a warning to believers that they should fear the return of Christ? What is it like to be in the kingdom of God today? Does a Christian need to wait before they’re involved in ministry? Can a believer sell their soul to the devil? I missed an opportunity to share my faith and now, I want to go back and talk to them again. What should I do?
