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: Could you explain what "suffer in the flesh" (1 Peter 4:1) means and whether it is part of God's chastisement?

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

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: If God has made us so that repeating a divine name invites the Spirit into our heart and soul, then what better form of prayer than to use this technique to invite the risen Christ into our hearts?

Question: I know that 1 Timothy 2:10 says that "...prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men"...

Question [composite of several]: I keep reading reports about persecution of Christians in Indonesia and other places. I agree that it is horrible, but why do these people draw attention to themselves by insisting on meeting for church services?

Question: How do you pray to Jesus without seeing an image of Him?

Question: My friend is always telling me about the saints...begs me to pray to Mary....I feel as if it's evil just trying to grab me back....Is it really an attack?
