The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley

Is the gift of tongues for every believer? Does it prove we are truly saved? Do believers still sin? What "laws" do we have written on our hearts? My fellow pastors advise me to teach more on obedience. What are your thoughts?

I want to be a great mom, but I'm overwhelmed by my mistakes. How can I find freedom? Do we need to die to self? Die daily? I heard some Christians won't go to heaven because they didn't go to church enough. Is this true?

I've been so hurt by bad teaching that I don't know how to react when I still hear it. Can you help me process the pain? Is God giving me a sign that I should leave my job because it's so frustrating at times? What does it mean to "work out your salvation"?

Does God really pre-select some to believe while others can't be saved? Why is "predestined" in Romans and Ephesians, not elsewhere? Does suicide disqualify us from heaven? Can you explain "left behind" in Matthew 24 and Luke 17? You say we should want to be left behind? Why? Do believers need to worry about generational curses?

Are Christians still under the "moral law" (Ten Commandments)? How do I best share grace with my friends when I've been rejected? I planted seeds of grace in the lives of my friends, and years later, there's a harvest! Do Christians have wicked hearts, or new hearts, or both?

"Well, done, good and faithful servant"- is God talking to us there or to Jesus? Are we believers "good" or "bad"? What is the healthy and humble view? Do we need to confess sins to God daily to be forgiven and cleansed? What is confession and its place in our lives? How can someone find joy again after going through something traumatic?

I keep hearing about the Ethiopian Bible and missing books in our canon. Is there truth to this? My pastor says we need to serve the Lord more. What does that really look like? After hearing a message on Zephaniah, I'm afraid I might be "stepping on the threshold" or disrespecting God and missing out on His best. Can you help?

How did giants reappear after the flood? How were stones moved to build the pyramids? What are your thoughts on the Calvinist "tulip"? Is it a sin to say curse words?

My pastor goes on long, political rants and often seems distracted from the gospel. What should I do? What is the truth about the doctrine of election? Did Jesus die for everyone? What about Calvinism and Arminianism? Did God predestine some to believe while others have no chance?

I asked some Jehovah's Witnesses if Christ lives in them, and they said "no." Are they saved? What about my child who doesn't want to talk about Christianity very much? What can you do when you feel like you're constantly falling short of God's expectations? Andrew, do you ever worry you're doing mental gymnastics to believe we're eternally secure?

Our church gets a lot of things right, but they still don't teach total forgiveness. What should I do? Do you think Jesus showed up in the Old Testament? If so, where? How should we interpret John 15:13 about giving up one's life for his friends? Is this a good definition of sin: "following my desires instead of God's desires"? What are my true desires?

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?

What is the meaning of the parable of the wicked servant? What would you say to those who hurl accusations of cheap grace, hyper-grace, and easy believism? It feels like some worship services are way over the top! What are your thoughts on worship?

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?

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?
