How can we seek God’s guidance without putting words in His mouth, and how can we tell the difference? 22:08 Does God depend on His people’s obedience in order to accomplish His purposes? 24:40 How can we practically forgive someone who has deeply hurt us when reconciliation or communication is unsafe or impossible? Is it biblical to stop thinking about or praying for them, and if so, how? 28:10 With so many Christian denominations, is one more correct than the others? Are there any believers should clearly avoid? 32:20 What is in store for Enduring Word in 2026? 40:20 In Isaiah 38:8, God causes the sundial to move backward ten degrees. What does that mean in terms of time itself? And since Hezekiah’s final 15 years were spiritually inconsistent, should we believe he went to heaven? 43:20 How should we understand passages where God is said not to repent or regret (Numbers 23;19) alongside passages where He appears to regret or relent (Genesis 6;6; Jeremiah 26;13)? Should Christians focus more on contentment with where God has placed them, or is it right to pursue holy ambition? How can we live faithfully in that tension? 50:28 My husband is not saved, and I struggle with bitterness—especially as he lives a worldly life. How can I deal with this bitterness in a biblical way? 54:05 Can you share your thoughts on recent discussions around Kirk Cameron ‪@KirkCameronOfficial‬ and the doctrine of hell, including annihilationism, and how Christians should approach these debates biblically? 58:33 Is it acceptable to rely on online church or Bible studies if past church experiences have caused deep hurt, and what are the risks or limitations of doing so? 1:00:58 What is your perspective on Reformed theology, and how should a believer evaluate it when close friends strongly adhere to it? 1:05:00 Where can believers find solid online discipleship resources if there are no healthy churches nearby? 1:06:06 Please pray for an upcoming surgery, with the possibility of leg amputation, and for peace and healing through the outcome. 1:07:05 Is it biblical or wise for a married couple to attend different churches, especially if this has been practiced long-term? 1:08:25 Will animals or pets be in heaven, and what does Scripture suggest about this hope? 1:10:33 How should believers evaluate church governance models—such as elder-led leadership versus committee-based decision-making—when choosing a church? 1:13:18 Does the full tithe need to be given to one local church, or can it be divided among multiple ministries? 1:14:05 How can someone discern whether they are a “lukewarm” Christian, especially if they feel that only pastors or evangelists are truly on fire for God? 1:16:13 When the Ark of the Covenant was placed in Solomon’s temple, were the poles used as guides for the priest in the Holy of Holies, and is there biblical support for this idea? 1:17:35 What are your prayers for this New Year? #biblestudy #christianity #jesus #bible #christian #pastor #christianliving #enduringword
