Answered Questions

I feel stuck. How can I move forward?

Anonymous

Dear Anonymous,

There are many reasons we can find ourselves “stuck” in life. We can lose touch with ourselves due to hardships, serving others while neglecting ourselves, unforgiveness, procrastination in decision-making, etc.

It may be time to take a step back to move forward. 

Stepping back means getting alone regularly to “deal with” issues that lay heavy on our hearts–settle those issues within ourselves, and then let them go. 

Invite God to help you honestly evaluate where you are, how you got there, and the steps to clear out the past.

Then we must realign ourselves to what matters most. 

Developing a genuine relationship with God and including Him in all your life decisions will keep you moving forward on the right track!

What is salvation?

SS

Dear SS,

Christians believe salvation is the central concept that encompasses the deliverance and redemption of humanity from sin and its consequences. 

It is the process by which individuals are reconciled with God and restored to a right relationship with Him. 

Salvation is made possible through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. His resurrection from the dead demonstrated victory over sin and death, providing the way to have a personal relationship with Him now and in eternity. 

The most important aspect of salvation is the transformation process that takes place in the life of a believer, which is evident by ongoing growth in faith, obedience to God’s commandments, and a desire to love and serve others. 

It is considered a gift of God’s grace, not something that can be earned or achieved through human efforts alone.

Is the Bible relevant today?

ES

Dear ES,

Absolutely! 

The Bible contains wisdom for daily living and can be considered our textbook on how to have an amazing life–here and now- and settle our destiny when our life ends here on earth.

The Bible contains practical wisdom on decision-making in various areas of life, such as relationships, marriage, parenting, career, finances, leadership, and all things “life.”

The Bible also addresses fundamental questions about human existence, purpose, and the nature of God.
