Ever been stumped by a difficult question about the faith? Its an uncomfortable feeling being caught unprepared. Thursday on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie and Bible scholar, Don Stewart, discuss some of the big questions of life. Get solid answers!

We're airing Bible Questions and Answers, where John answers questions from members of his home church. John may even answer a question you've had.

Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Key questions answered in today's show: 1. Can a saved person walk away from their salvation? Can they be unsaved? 2. My question is for Pastor Adriel. I often hear you mention the book of Hebrews and I’m wondering what it is about that book specifically that makes you seem to be so drawn to it. 3. I have a friend who is new to the faith and has a lot of questions that I don’t have the answers to. What should I do? 4. What are some practical ways our Church can reach out to our community? 5. Does God use trials to draw us near to him?

Do we have free will? Today, R.C. Sproul answers questions about predestination, God’s providence, and the human will.

John shows you what the Bible says about the Trinity...the nature of Christ's death...and the doctrines you need to believe to be saved.

Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. 1. How do I enter into a relationship with Christ? 2. In the book of Malachi, we read that God told the Israelites to test him in regard to offerings. However, in the books of the law, He told them not to test Him. I realize that these verses are not part of the same context, but how should we reconcile them? Is there a time when I should test God? 3. In the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, the master tells his two faithful servants, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.” I’ve always heard our salvation is through faith, like trust, but when I read these words, it almost sounds like a reward for faithfulness. Is faith the same as faithfulness? Is our faithfulness more important than our faith? How should we understand this parable? 4. Why do Christians have an Old Testament in their Bibles if we’re supposed to live according to the New Testament? 5. Recently I have been thinking about forgiveness and when it should be implemented, should we as Christians forgive people before they ask or wait until they ask for it? Sometimes people never ask for forgiveness. Resources: "Devoted to God: Blueprints for Sanctification" by Sinclair B. Ferguson.
