Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 4068 The gift of healings is listed plainly in 1 Corinthians 12:9 and 28, and the New Testament account of its exercise in the early church is vivid and specific. Lame men walk. The blind see. Peter’s shadow falls across the sick, and they recover. Paul lays hands on the father of Publius on…
Reading Time: 7 minutesQuestion 0030 Walk into any theological seminary and you will encounter rigorous study of systematic theology, historical theology, biblical languages, and philosophical argumentation. Walk into most local churches and you will find people trying to figure out how to raise their children in the faith, how to make ethical decisions at work, and whether they…
Reading Time: 8 minutesQuestion 0049 It is one of the most sobering realities in the Christian life, and one that every serious believer must confront: it is entirely possible to have impeccable theology and a dead heart. It is possible to know all the right answers, to affirm all the right creeds, to defend all the right doctrines,…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 0019 This is one of those questions that’s painful to ask but necessary. Walk into many churches and you’ll find people who’ve been Christians for twenty, thirty, even forty years—and yet they couldn’t explain basic doctrine, don’t read their Bibles regularly, and are easily swept along by whatever teaching sounds appealing. The rebuke in…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 4008 The question of how the Spirit guides believers is one of the most practically significant in all of pneumatology. It touches directly on decision-making, on the discernment of God’s will, and on the texture of Christian life at a day-to-day level. Romans 8:14 states that “all who are led by the Spirit of…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 3008 This question has been debated by theologians throughout Church history. If Jesus could not have sinned, was His temptation genuine? If He could have sinned, what would that mean for His deity? These are not idle speculations but touch on the very nature of Christ and the reality of His victory over sin….
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3002 The question of whether Jesus had brothers and sisters has been debated throughout Church history, largely due to the Roman Catholic doctrine of Mary’s perpetual virginity. Yet when we approach Scripture simply asking what the text actually says, the answer becomes remarkably clear. The Gospels and epistles speak plainly about Jesus having siblings,…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 11040 The idea that Christians can “activate” healing by speaking God’s Word has become popular particularly through Word of Faith teaching. Believers are encouraged to “speak healing into existence” or “claim your healing” by quoting Scripture. But does the Bible actually teach that our words have power to activate God’s healing? Let’s examine what…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 1100 Few phrases generate as much heat in Christian circles today as ‘social justice.’ For some, it represents the heart of the gospel lived out; for others, it signals a departure from biblical Christianity into secular ideology. But what does Scripture actually say? This is the only question that matters. Is the pursuit of…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 0004 When Paul instructs Titus to “teach what accords with sound doctrine” (Titus 2:1), he uses a word that might surprise us. The Greek term translated “sound” is ὑγιαίνω (hygiainō), and its most natural meaning is “healthy” or “wholesome.” We get our English word “hygiene” from it. Paul is not just saying that correct…
