Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 10113 This is a question that troubles many believers: if we have free will in heaven, could we sin again? Could there be another fall? And if we don’t have free will, are we just robots? Understanding what Scripture teaches about our glorified state helps us see that heaven offers something far better than…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 10110 The Bema seat is a term that refers to the judgment seat of Jesus before which all believers will stand. It is not about determining whether we go to heaven or hell—that question was settled when we trusted Jesus. It is about evaluating our lives as believers and distributing rewards. Understanding this judgment…
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: 6 minutesQuestion 12047 The question of whether Christians should be pacifists has been debated throughout church history, and it continues to generate strong feelings on both sides. Some believers point to Jesus’ teaching to “turn the other cheek” and conclude that all use of force is incompatible with following Him. Others argue that Scripture presents a…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 12048 Few issues stir as much emotion in churches and communities as immigration and border control.

Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 8127 The book of Job raises one of the most searching questions in all of Scripture: if God is sovereign and Satan must seek permission before afflicting His servant Job, what about Job’s children? They died in the first wave of disaster, yet there is no explicit mention in the text of God granting…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 11065 Paul writes in Ephesians 6:12 that “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness.” The Christian life is not a gentle stroll toward improvement — it is described in the New Testament with the language of warfare, struggle,…
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…
Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 60077 Peter’s first letter was written to believers scattered across Asia Minor—what we now call Turkey—who were facing increasing hostility for their faith.

Some were losing their jobs, their reputations,…
