Beat Your Body? To Be Qualified?
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Does more persecution mean more rewards for us in heaven? Is that what Jesus teaches in Matthew 5? Why does Paul say he “beats his body” and makes it his “slave”? And he does it ao he won’t be disqualified?

“Our hope is not in Washington D.C.”
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
My church allows women to teach a few times a year. What are they thinking? My husband passed away 20 years ago, and I wonder where exactly he is now: in heaven or waiting to see Jesus? How should we view the political world as a believers?

Encouragement for Pastors
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Are we Christians teaching “the Devil made me do it” and thereby creating an excuse for crime among unbelievers? How can I encourage my friend who is a pastor and seems like he’s burning out? Does the Old Testament justify abandoning your father when you’ve had a disagreement?

Doubting Salvation. Abuse in Marriage.
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
I’ve struggled with porn during my life. I recently relapsed and then started to doubt my salvation. I have OCD, so that makes it even worse. Help! Why was the apostle Paul silent on the matter of abuse in marriage? Why doesn’t he mention it in 1 Corinthians 7?

Recognizing “God’s Voice”
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Why was Cain’s sacrifice not acceptable to God? Why did Jesus still offer a morsel of bread dipped in wine to Judas? How can I recognize God’s voice in my life? I’m in an abusive family situation and I’m trying to have some healthy boundaries. Can you help me navigate this? Why do I keep making bad decisions in life? Does this mean I’m doing something wrong in my faith? As a believer, should I be dating a Jewish man who doesn’t believe Jesus is the Messiah? I suffer from a mental disorder, and I wonder how this fits with the renewing of my mind.

How to Have Discernment and Joy
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
So many people take advantage of me and others. It’s hard to know when to help people. How can I be more discerning? Why does Paul list people who won’t inherit the kingdom? What if we’ve committed things on that list? I worry, because I don’t seem to experience the Christian joy other believers have.

Are You Good, Evil or Both?*
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Why do some translations of John 3:16 not say "begotten"? What does "begotten" refer to? Hasn't Jesus always existed? In Genesis 6, God sees evil everywhere. What about now? And does He see believers the same way? What does "I die daily" mean in 1 Corinthians 15? What did Jews in the Old Testament (and now) think of the Holy Spirit? *previously aired
