“Backsliders” and Hebrews 6:4-6

Is it possible for a “backslider” to return to faith? Hebrews 6:4-6 seems to say no. I’m a returned “backslider” myself, so this passage of Scripture has always been painful and confusing for me.

Christians and the Environment

What does the Bible have to say about conservationism and environmental concerns? I’ve noticed lately that several well-known Christian leaders have decided to make “global-warming” a key issue. Other evangelicals suggest that the “climate change” movement is primarily political and ideological in motivation. That’s the way I’ve viewed it, but I’m also aware that God …

Does the Bible verse that warns against “friendship with the world” relate to being friends with non-Christians? I’ve heard it said many times that Christians need to be intentional about developing friendships with non-believers and resist the temptation to spend all their time with like-minded people in the “Christian ghetto.” But James 4:4 says, “Do …

Pride, Humility, and Self-Esteem

Why do Christians say human pride is sinful? I don’t understand what’s wrong with a little self-satisfaction and self-confidence. If I feel good about myself for serving at the local soup kitchen or helping a neighbor in need, does that mean I’m going to hell? Aren’t we always telling our kids that it’s important to …

Seeking Truth Among Different Religions

If Christianity is true, why are there so many different religions? There are things about the Christian faith that I find winsome and attractive, but I can’t bring myself to accept it all.

The Origin of God

Where did God come from? This is something I’ve always wondered about. When I look at creation, from the astronomical to the cellular level, it’s impossible for me to think that such beauty and complexity is the product of mere chance. But that still leaves one question unanswered: Who made God?

What the Bible Says About Forgiving Yourself

Is “self-forgiveness” a scriptural idea? This isn’t the place to go into details, but certain events and circumstances have left me carrying a heavy load of guilt. I believe in Christ and His death on the cross, but in this case my beliefs don’t seem to have the power to change my feelings. If you …

Contentment vs. the Love of Money

What does the Bible mean when it says that “godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6)? How do I apply this to the way I manage my finances? And why does Paul go on to state that “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil?”

Developing Empathy for Aging Loved Ones

Can you help me understand what my elderly dad might be feeling? I sometimes think that elderly people are “invisible” to the rest of us. We never seem to ask ourselves what they’re thinking and feeling as they deal with personal loss, the implications of aging, and the prospect of death.

How should we handle our concerns that our adolescent grandson may be thinking about ending his own life?
