Questions and Responses

Question: Does God hear and respond to the prayers of the unsaved? I know that believers have the privilege of prayer as children of God, but what about the lost?

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

Question: Today much is made of "prayer walking"...etc. Yet the Bible says "enter your closet to pray."

Question: Is lighting of candles in conjunction with prayer biblical?

Question: The NewsWatch article about Governor Perry's prayer meeting...in the August 2011 TBC reminded me of Luke 9:49-50, when Jesus said, "do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side." Shouldn't that give us all reason for joy?

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 God has made us so that repeating a divine name invites the Spirit into our heart and soul, then what better form of prayer than to use this technique to invite the risen Christ into our hearts?

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: I know that 1 Timothy 2:10 says that "...prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men"...

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?
