Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 11004 Beyond the question of tithing lies the broader question of Christian giving. How should we think about our money and possessions? What does Scripture teach about generosity, stewardship, and the use of our resources for God’s kingdom? Everything Belongs to God The starting point for biblical giving is recognising that we own nothing….
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 7051 Repentance is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Christianity today, yet it’s absolutely central to the Gospel message. The confusion often comes from our modern understanding of the word versus what Scripture actually teaches. Is repentance merely feeling sorry for sin? Must we turn from all our sins before God will save…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 06058 This question deserves a direct answer: no, not all suffering is the result of personal sin. That may seem obvious when stated plainly, but in practice the assumption that it is underlies a great deal of pastoral harm, and Scripture addresses it head-on. Job: The Longest Answer to the Shortest Question The book…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 06069 The question of whether some sins are worse than others touches something most people intuitively sense but find difficult to reason through biblically.

Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 9006 Alongside baptism, the Lord’s Supper is the other ordinance that Jesus gave to His Church.

Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 5008 Few issues provoke more heated debate than abortion. For many, it represents essential healthcare and women’s freedom; for others, it constitutes the taking of innocent human life. The question for us as believers is not what our culture says or what our political party says but what God says. While the Bible does…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 1057 In many churches today, the public reading of Scripture has been reduced to a brief prelude before the sermon—a quick reading of the text about to be preached, and nothing more.

Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 8007 Human beings are mortal. We are born, we live for a time, and we die. But what about angels?

Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 10117 When Jesus hung on the cross beside a repentant criminal, He made an extraordinary promise: “Today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43).
