Sanctified or Not? (Stop the Double Talk!)
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
If we’re already sanctified, then why does 1 Thessalonians 4 say God’s will is our sanctification? How do we interpret all the New Testament passages that say God will punish those who practice sinful behavior? Does that punishment apply to Christians who struggle with sin? If not, why not? What does it mean to “be alert” or “be ready” for Christ’s return?

You WANT to be “left behind”!
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
What do Seventh Day Adventists believe? Are women allowed to serve or speak in church? I know you teach that the antichrist is not pretending to be Christ, but who is the “wicked one“ or the “man of lawlessness” in 2 Thessalonians? Are we immediately with God when we die? What about what Jesus teaches in the gospels about being “left behind” upon His return?

Forever in His Presence – Part 7
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Discussion Questions: Read verse 15. How hard is it to be saved? What’s required exactly? Did you think this involves just saying some “magic words” or something more? If so, what? Read verse 16 and react to this statement: I believe the love which God has for me! Read verse 17. What are the two reasons we can be confident on Judgment Day? Read verse 18 and react to this statement: I will never be punished for any of my sins! Read verse 19. Explain why getting this divine order of things right is so important. Read 1 John 4:20-5:1. Why do loving God and loving others go hand in hand?...

Tradition vs. Truth
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
My roommate is controlling and jealous in the ways she treats me. I’m wondering what to do. How do you view church tradition versus Scripture when they seem to contradict sometimes? What about the Orthodox church?

“Exorcism isn’t enough!”
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Why didn’t God give us the new covenant from the start? What is the unpardonable sin? What about Christians who just continue in sin? What was Jesus trying to say in Luke 11 about demon possession? How can we effectively witness to those who don’t believe in the Bible? Is it wrong for me to confess my sins? To ask God for forgiveness daily?

Secret Rapture? Left Behind? No!
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Is the Hebrews 4 rest a physical or spiritual rest? What about keeping the Sabbath? Why does 1 Corinthians 15 mention two kinds of bodies? Are we going to have two bodies? A pastor taught me the return of Christ might go unnoticed by many who are left behind. Could this be true?

“Lordship salvation” fosters fear!
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
What is Lordship salvation? Why do so many people lack assurance with God? Did the Queen of Sheba and Solomon have a baby together? My Bible study teacher said it’s wrong to pray for both the people of Israel and the Palestinians (casualties, children, famine, etc.). Is that really true?

“I read Jesus, not Paul!”
The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
What is the best way to study the Bible? How can I respond to “red letter Christians” who essentially discredit or ignore the teachings of Paul? Are certain New Testament letters just for pastors? Was the disciple Simon a Gentile? When exactly was Paul saved? Did water baptism play a role? Did any works factor in?
