Q: Will we see our loved ones in heaven? Will the relationships still be the same? Will we remember our lives on earth with each other?

Q: My husband and I were driving and passed by a church where the sign said the church was led by “Apostle So-and-so.” It made us wonder, are there still apostles today?

Q: When we are faced with decisions and seeking the Lord through prayer and His word, how often should something be prayed about?

Q: How do we steward our inheritance in line with Proverbs 13:22? Our grown son is not wise with money and has no wherewithal or interest.

Q: I’ve always been fascinated with biblical archaeology. Is it a waste of time to speculate over such things?

Q: If Satan was cast out of Heaven, can we also be cast out? If we struggle with sin now, what’s to say we are or aren’t going to be capable of falling like Satan?

Q: Could you explain the concept of “testing God with your offerings”? Does God “return favors” to us? Where is the line with the prosperity gospel in regards to offerings?

Q: If the Great Commission is incumbent upon all believers in every local church – why didn’t Paul and the other writers clearly command us?
