  • 60 - Can a Christian Be of the Devil? - 1 John 3:8, 10
    Is there any way a Christian can be 'of the devil,' or could that only refer to unsaved people?

  • 59 - Real Christians Don't Sin? - 1 John 3:6, 9
    If John establishes the fact that Christians sin in chapter 1, how can he say later that Christians do not sin? An incorrect interpretation of these verses has caused many Christians to doubt their salvation.

  • 58 - Do Believers Need to Confess Their Sins for Forgiveness?
    Some say that confession is unnecessary since all the believer's sins are forgiven already. What is the scriptural perspective?

  • 57 - Good Ground for Discipleship - Luke 8:4-13
    The parable of the soils is found in all three Synoptic Gospels (Matt. 13:18-23; Mark 4:2-20; Luke 8:4-15). Our focus will be on Luke's account. In Luke especially, Jesus used this parable to explain the purpose of all parables and to illustrate how people respond to God's truth.

  • 56 - Does Grace Allow Christians to Judge Others?
    Grace is used as an excuse not to confront people. So is it gracious to judge another person?

  • 55 - The Christian and Apostasy
    As used here, apostasy refers to a departure from or denial of the Christian faith by someone who once held to it. There are several views about what happens to someone who leaves the faith.

  • 54 - The Fate of Fruitless Followers in John 15:6
    What do the branches represent in John 15:6 and what is their fate?

  • 53 - Doubtful Self-examination in 2 Corinthians 13:5
    It is not uncommon to see this verse used to encourage professing Christians to examine themselves to see if they are genuinely saved.

  • 52 - Lordship and False Followers - Matthew 7:21-23
    Does this passage teach, as some claim, that a person must be totally surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in order to be saved?

  • 51 - Fruits and False Prophets - Matthew 7:15-20     Podcast
    According to a common interpretation, bad behavior proves a person is not saved; good behavior proves a person is saved. Is that what this passage teaches?
