Questions and Responses

Question: Does God hear and respond to the prayers of the unsaved? I know that believers have the privilege of prayer as children of God, but what about the lost?

Question: Today much is made of "prayer walking"...etc. Yet the Bible says "enter your closet to pray."

Question: Is lighting of candles in conjunction with prayer biblical?

Question: In your article [May 2005] on the pope's passing you said, "like the pope, the Church he led firmly...

Question: The NewsWatch article about Governor Perry's prayer meeting...in the August 2011 TBC reminded me of Luke 9:49-50, when Jesus said, "do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side." Shouldn't that give us all reason for joy?

Question: Please watch this videotape of Jack Van Impe and tell me what has gotten into him! He used to be sound in doctrine years ago, but now he praises the Pope as an evangelical Christian.... Why has he changed?

Question: I have expressed my concerns about a Spiritual Formation Retreat...
