Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 11006 For single Christians, few questions are more pressing than how to approach relationships. The Bible was written in cultures where arranged marriages were the norm, so it does not give us a step-by-step guide to modern dating. Yet it provides principles that should shape how we pursue marriage. Marriage is Good Let us…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 11088 For many things in Christian life, this question has a straightforward answer: Scripture names them, and that settles it. But there is a genuine and growing category of situations, particularly in contemporary life, where the specific action is not mentioned in the Bible and where Christians may hold quite different views. How do…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 11017 Evangelism is the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who have not yet believed. It is not a programme, a technique, or a personality type. It is the task given to every believer by the risen Lord Himself, and it is rooted in the conviction that people without Christ are…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 11008 Few pastoral questions carry more emotional weight than the question of remarriage after divorce. Churches have sometimes handled this issue with a harshness that compounds the pain of broken marriages, and at other times with a permissiveness that ignores what Scripture actually teaches.

Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 12054 Few subjects provoke as much tension among Christians as family planning and reproductive choices. The silence of many churches on this topic has left believers to navigate deeply personal decisions with little biblical guidance, often absorbing secular assumptions without realising it. The question is not whether Scripture speaks to these matters, but whether…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 12024 Sexual purity is a concept that the surrounding culture regards as outdated, repressive, and unnecessary. The assumption in much of Western society is that sexual expression is a private matter to be governed by consent and personal preference, with no reference to any standard beyond the individual. Scripture takes a fundamentally different view….
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 11060 This is one of the most practically pressing questions in pastoral ministry.

The cultural pressure to see faith as a private…
Reading Time: 4 minutesWhy we should believe in the ‘Rapture’ (from the Latin for ‘caught up’)
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 12004 Tattoos were once associated almost exclusively with sailors, soldiers, and subcultures. Today they are mainstream, and increasing numbers of Christians either have tattoos or are considering getting one. The question is whether Scripture prohibits them, permits them, or leaves the matter to individual conscience. The answer requires careful handling of the one Old…
