Questions and Responses

Question: Does the Bible allow for defending oneself or one's family?

Question: Have you heard of John Piper’s philosophy of “Christian Hedonism”? It is becoming more and more popular (especially among Christian youth) and I believe it to be a very dangerous teaching. Is Piper’s philosophy biblical?

Question: If a homosexual is not involved in those sinful homosexual acts but still considers himself a homosexual, will he/she go to heaven?

Question: There are many who advocate that a born-again believer in Christ can commit suicide and still be saved.... Is it possible for a saint to commit suicide?

Question: I have been disturbed for some time by the “praise and worship” music in my church—even to the point of looking elsewhere. But I seem to find the same thing everywhere I go....Am I just old-fashioned? Help me.

Question: I continue to hear about the "joy of the Lord" as our strength in these challenging times...

Question: My father abused my siblings and me...for years....How do I honor this man...who has shown no evidence of repentance at all...and when I am no longer his child, by his own vow? How do I address him as “father” or “dad” ever again?

Question: How can you be down on all contemporary music, choruses, etc.?

Question: I agree that our only creed is the Bible, but we are not to separate ourselves from the brethren [but] to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace….

Question: It is unfair to paint...sweeping generalizations [about worship music]. Isn’t the most important issue whether the heart of the musician pleases God?
