Are You a Man of God?

Questions and Responses

Question: Does the Bible allow for defending oneself or one's family?

Question: The scriptures in Exodus 20:4-5 and Acts 17:29 say that the Lord is against anyone attempting to make an image of God. We...have given gifts of Christian children's books about Jesus. The books have images of Jesus. What do you suggest...?

Question: Have you heard of John Piper’s philosophy of “Christian Hedonism”? It is becoming more and more popular (especially among Christian youth) and I believe it to be a very dangerous teaching. Is Piper’s philosophy biblical?

Question: If a homosexual is not involved in those sinful homosexual acts but still considers himself a homosexual, will he/she go to heaven?

Question: There are many who advocate that a born-again believer in Christ can commit suicide and still be saved.... Is it possible for a saint to commit suicide?

Question: Are you familiar with the book The Girl Who Could Fly?

Question: I continue to hear about the "joy of the Lord" as our strength in these challenging times...

Question: My father abused my siblings and me...for years....How do I honor this man...who has shown no evidence of repentance at all...and when I am no longer his child, by his own vow? How do I address him as “father” or “dad” ever again?

Question: I'm a parent of children who are a few years away from becoming teenagers....We've considered enrolling our son and daughter in a martial arts class, but I understand some classes involve occult practices.

Question: I agree that our only creed is the Bible, but we are not to separate ourselves from the brethren [but] to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace….
