Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 1126 When it comes to reading the Bible, people often wonder about the best approach. Should you start at Genesis and read straight through to Revelation? Should you jump around to different books as the Spirit leads? Should you follow a reading plan that mixes Old and New Testament? There’s no single right answer…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 1127 You started January with good intentions. A Bible reading plan. This would be the year you finally read through the whole thing. February came, and you missed a few days. March, you tried to catch up but fell further behind. By April, you gave up. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Failed reading plans…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 10107 For those who have enjoyed a loving marriage, or who long for one, the question of whether marriage continues in heaven is deeply personal. Jesus addressed this question directly when the Sadducees tried to trap Him with a hypothetical scenario. His answer is clear, though it raises further questions about what relationships in…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 10104 Many believers who have loved and lost pets, or who simply marvel at God’s creation, wonder whether animals will exist in eternity. It’s a question that touches the heart as much as the head. Scripture does not give us an exhaustive answer, but it provides enough to form a reasonable expectation. Animals in…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 60049 The serpent’s temptation in the Garden of Eden established a pattern that has repeated throughout human history. Satan’s approach to Eve—questioning God’s Word, denying God’s judgment, and promising divine status through forbidden knowledge—constitutes what we might call the “primal heresy.” Understanding this original deception helps us recognise its reappearances in contemporary spirituality and…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 12049 The question of whether smoking is sinful troubles many believers. Scripture never mentions tobacco—unsurprising given that it was unknown in the biblical world—so we must apply broader biblical principles to reach a faithful conclusion. This requires careful thought rather than mere proof-texting. The Body as God’s Temple The most frequently cited passage in…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 60051 In an age of religious pluralism, many suggest that Islam and Christianity are compatible faiths—perhaps different paths to the same God. Some point to shared figures like Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, or to similar ethical teachings, as evidence of fundamental unity. But can these two faiths actually be reconciled? A careful examination reveals…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 11066 There is a kind of spiritual fatigue that is not produced by overwork but by accumulation — the weight of sin that has been noticed but not confessed, the prompting that has been registered but set aside, the quiet conviction that has been managed rather than acted on. Many Christians carry more of…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 11067 Paul’s command to “walk by the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16) and his instruction to “keep in step with the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25) assume a kind of moment-by-moment awareness of the Spirit’s presence and movement. The New Testament pictures the Christian life as one lived in ongoing, conscious dependence on a divine person who dwells…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 12063 The question of euthanasia — the deliberate ending of a person’s life to relieve suffering — is one that medicine, law, and culture are increasingly willing to normalise. For Christians, it raises questions that Scripture addresses at the level of principle, even where it does not speak to every contemporary medical specific. The…
