Is church attendance required to get to Heaven? I desperately need help finding scripture to respond to those who persecute me for no longer attending weekly church services. Right before the world closed in 2020, the Holy Spirit started revealing some things to me and led me to step back from my team service and from attending church. At first I wrestled with God because I had always gone to church, and I knew everyone would think I was crazy. However, I chose to ignore the persecution and follow Jesus instead of my family and friends. Being obedient to the Holy Spirit has transformed my life in amazing ways, but it also put me in a place of being persecuted relentlessly by those closest to me. I know that Jesus said we will be persecuted, but it’s still hard. I feel like everyone is against me but Jesus, and I’m wondering if anyone else feels like I do. Can you help me find scriptures to support my obedience to God, and that I am not going to hell for leaving the church building? Signed, ~ Help! I’m being persecuted for leaving the church!

Why can’t “they” see the truth?

Why can’t “they” see the truth?

Have you noticed how the world has drastically changed since the 2024 US elections? I am amazed at how one side is mourning their loss and taking drastic measures to display their anger and rage at their disappointment. While the other side is laser focused on placing all their hope in the winner and his team and how they are going to make American great again. Never have I seen the name of Jesus abused and blasphemed by both sides like it is now. So many people are suddenly popping up on social media twisting the truth of scripture to deceive the vulnerable. How can this be? Please help me understand why people cannot see what’s going on here? Signed ~ How can people be so blind to the truth of God? Read blog for full response. Please share.

Are you a lukewarm Christian? Find out here.

Can you help me understand something please? I was raised going to church, asked Jesus into my heart when I was 5 and got baptized. I’ve been in church pretty much every time the doors are open. I’m happy to volunteer and serve wherever needed, I attend small groups, I lead small groups, I tithe, and give to the needy when I can. I am not good at reading my Bible or memorizing scripture, but I read it when I can, even if it’s for five minutes a day. My pastor says if I read the one year Bible plan the church provides everyday, that is better than nothing. Now I’m starting to hear about “lukewarm” Christians and how they won’t go to Heaven. What does that mean exactly? I want to make sure I’m not one of those. Signed ~ what is a lukewarm Christian? Read blog for full response. Please share.

Learn the truth in the parable of the 10 virgins.

I need help understanding what followers of Jesus are supposed to be doing right now during these crazy end-times we are living in. Some people say to watch for Jesus’ return, while others say we are not supposed to be watching for His return. I’m confused because I haven’t been taught what to do and don’t know how to find out what God expects from us. Can you help me find scripture that gives us direction? I don’t want to miss the rapture and can’t find anyone to shed light on this very important subject. ~Signed, Do we watch for Jesus or not? Read blog for full response. Please share.

Religion or Relationship? Only one gets you into Heaven

Religion or Relationship? Only one gets you into Heaven

I grew up in church, and as a child was programmed to say that I’m a Christian. I never questioned it, and when someone asked me what religion I am, I always responded – Christian. Fast forward to adulthood and I’m finally learning Bible truth. Even though I was encouraged to get baptized as a child and did, I didn’t truly understand what salvation really meant; I was just going through the motions. Thankfully, with Jesus, nothing is wasted; He uses all things for His glory according to His purpose for us. Now I want more. Something inside me has changed and I no longer want what the world has to offer. The Holy Spirit has taught me that there is a huge difference between religion and having a relationship with Jesus. Can you help me find more information to support my search? ~ Signed, Done with religion, I want a relationship with Jesus. Read full blog for response. Please share.

Pride or Humility – choose today which path you will take

Pride or Humility – choose today which path you will take

Is it just me or has the world truly become full of pride and evilness? I was taught growing up that God loves humility, and that our country in America was built on Biblical foundations. The current days we are living in look like the former rather than the latter. Where are the humble Christians? How is it that pride seems to be spreading like wildfire while humility is quickly melting away? Pride now seems to be more focused on being defined by self-centered rebellion. Can you help me understand what God says about pride and humility? ~ Signed, overwhelmed by the pride and evilness. Read blog for full response. Please share.

Why must my faith always be tested?

How do we learn to trust a God we can’t see? My life is a mess. I’m growing weary. I have little strength left to go on. If God cares about me, why has He allowed all the pain and suffering in my life? I was raised to believe in Jesus and in the God in Heaven, but I’m having a hard time trusting what I can’t see. Why does following Jesus have to be so hard? I try to trust Jesus but sometimes it’s just not possible. What am I missing? ~ Signed, it’s so hard to trust what I can’t see.

Who would others say your god is based on your actions?

Who would others say your god is based on your actions?

I grew up in a conservative Baptist church and I believed what I was taught even if it wasn’t the whole Bible they were teaching. While I grew up believing there was one God and one Savior, as an adult, I’m discovering that there are a plethora of man-made gods that people can choose from today. I was shocked and amazed to find out what was going on outside my pigeon-holed “religion” that I lived in. I used to assume that when people talked about God, we were all talking about the same one, and when they talked about the Bible, I assumed the same. Why are there so many gods? Why are people not wanting to worship our Creator, the living God? Does it even matter anymore who or if we worship? Please help me make sense of this. ~Signed, does anyone worship The Creator anymore? Read full blog for response. Please share.

False prophets are leading God’s sheep astray

False prophets are leading God’s sheep astray

It is increasingly difficult to hang onto hope in this evil world. In my personal search for God’s truth and for prophetic words to keep me encouraged, I am finding that on social media alone, there seems to be hundreds of people saying they are prophets speaking for God. Can all of these people really receive a message from God everyday to share? Why doesn’t He speak to me like that? Are they for real? Many things they say seem really “out-there” and I’m not sure I can believe them. Then when I do take a chance and believe a prophetic word, it turns out to be wrong. Are these really God’s prophets or false ones? ~ Signed, how to spot false prophets? Read full blog for response. Please share.

Time is short. God is asking us to return to Him. Last call is soon!

I’m really anxious and concerned about what I see in this world today. Famous people worshipping stones and animals, pictures posted of some strange witch looking woman the famous all seem drawn to, people bragging about selling their soul to the devil for success, concerts and public events now having demonic themes and crowds of people are flocking to them like never before, the strange obsession to yoga and meditation that I’m told is actually a practice of demon worship disguised as healing exercise, people worshipping the earth, sun, moon, and stars, the churches now seem to be focused on entertaining and prosperity while hiding moral failures, the riots and civil unrest, just to name a few. What is happening here? It’s like this world is on a runaway train of chaos about to crash and explode! ~ Signed, is there any hope for this wicked world? Read full blog response.

When will normal return and this world madness end?

Help! I’m hanging on by a thread! This world is spiraling out of control, sin is running rampant, crazy things are happening, and just when I think it can’t get any worse, a whole new wave of wickedness and blasphemy rushes in. I must say, it’s getting really hard to hold on to faith in these troubled end-times. Why is God allowing this to happen? Does He not see or care? What are followers of Jesus supposed to be doing right now? ~ Signed, how do the weary keep holding on? Read full blog response. Please share.

What were you taught to pledge your allegiance to?

What were you taught to pledge your allegiance to?

I, along with all Americans who have grown up in the United States, have been taught since kindergarten years, to pledge allegiance to the American flag every morning at school. Now that I’m an adult and have been studying my Holy Bible, God is teaching me truths I’ve never been taught. One of the things He is currently having me question is where my allegiance is focused. Suddenly I’m wondering, why was so much focus placed on pledging allegiance to the flag, and not God? Is there scripture to help in this area? ~ Signed, where should our allegiance be placed?

Can anyone be a part of God’s Chosen people group?

Can you help me understand how I, a Gentile, can be part of God’s chosen people referred to in scripture? In the Old Testament books it says that God chose Jacob’s family, the Hebrew Israelites to be His chosen people. I don’t understand how, or if, I can be one of His chosen people too. I’ve seen you mention that “Israelites” in scripture is referring to all God’s followers. I don’t understand how that works. I want to be one of His chosen. Please help me understand. ~ Signed, can a Gentile be chosen too? Full response in blog. Please share.

How do we determine who the real Jesus our Messiah is?

How do we determine who the real Jesus our Messiah is?

I’ve been spending more time studying my Bible and I’m confused about why the Pharisees and Sadducees didn’t recognize their Messiah, Jesus. It seems that Jesus battled their unbelief His entire ministry. He taught them truth and showed them miracles, signs, and wonders that only He could do and they still wouldn’t believe. As religious leaders, didn’t they know God’s Word better than anyone? It seems they would recognize Him on the spot, or at least after a miracle or two based on their knowledge of scripture. How could they still not believe? What were their expectations? Does the Bible tell us what to look for in our Messiah to know it’s really Him? ~Signed, how will we recognize the real Jesus.

Can God see our secret sins?

Can God see our secret sins?

I need help understanding what is sin from God’s viewpoint. The line of what is sin and what isn’t has become so blurry these days, that it seems what was once considered evil is now acceptable. Does God allow humans to change the rules on what He said is sin? If so, wouldn’t that mean that everyone could decide if what they are doing is wrong in their own eyes? That thought is super scary! The current countless options and opinions about sin has reached the point that very few seem to want to be bothered with the subject anymore. It appears people have become desensitized to sin and evil while focusing on themselves, and the pastors we once trusted to teach us God’s truth seem to be distracted with their own struggles with sin. Will you help me find the truth on this subject? ~Signed, what is sin? See blog for full response. Please share.

How can so many be blinded to God’s truth?

I have been praying for a lost loved one for so many years and it seems that still nothing has changed. I feel like my prayers are hitting an invisible ceiling and falling back to the ground unanswered. I’ve shared Bible truth with this person and they don’t see it. How can they not see the truth that God has shown me? Why is God not answering my prayers for this person? Am I doing something wrong? Doesn’t God want my loved one saved?

No one will know the day or hour. But are you ready and watching?

No one will know the day or hour. But are you ready and watching?

It has long been taught that Jesus will come like a thief in the night and that no one will know the day or the hour of Jesus’ return. There seems to be a large divide suddenly with believers in Jesus on this subject. So many followers of Jesus are now saying that we are to be watchful so that He won’t come like a thief in the night. Now I’m confused and don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing. Can you clear this up please? ~Signed, confused about the thief warning. Read blog for full response. Please share.

If I can’t trust my pastor, who can I trust?

If I can’t trust my pastor, who can I trust?

As a child, I was taught to love, honor, respect and trust my pastor to care for me and teach me truth; so I did. It wasn’t until I was in my pre-teen years that I realized that something was off with this process. I discovered through observing a close relationship between my mother with the pastor and his family, that he didn’t practice what he preached. It was during this time that I began to notice that many people put their trust in him instead of God. At the point when his secret sins were exposed, all those with their faith in him turned away from God. As a child that was hard to reconcile; 1, why the pastor that taught us not to sin – was secretly sinning himself, and 2, why people turned from God because of that man’s sin. Today, pastors are falling off their pedestal every day it seems due to unimaginable acts of sin. I thought pastors could be trusted. ~ Signed, who can we trust. See full response in blog.

Is there a “mark of God?”

Is there a “mark of God?”

Since early in my life, I was taught in church about the mark of the beast. I find it interesting that in these last days, few teach to beware to not take the mark in your hand or your forehead to buy and sell lest you be doomed for eternity in hell. I’m also curious; since the devil makes a counterfeit of everything God does, is there a mark of God? If so, how do we get the mark of God? ~ Signed, wanting God’s mark. See blog for full response.

Why is life so unfair?

Why is life so unfair?

I am stepping way out of my comfort zone opening up to you today. A few years ago my beautiful ten year old daughter was killed in a car wreck while my family and I were coming home from dinner. We were rear-ended by a drunk driver that didn’t see we were stopped waiting to turn on a two lane road. He lived, and my baby didn’t. I can’t seem to get past my anger and bitterness that God took my baby and let this drunk live. It’s NOT fair! Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? ~ Signed, It’s not fair.

What is the truth about the rapture?

What is the truth about the rapture?

I was raised in church and taught that there is a rapture, an appointed time when Jesus comes to get His Bride. This subject is very confusing to me. Some people say there is no rapture. Some say there is a pre-tribulation rapture, then others say it’s really a post-tribulation rapture. It is so hard to know what is the truth on this subject. What I know for sure is our world has never been as evil as it is now and it seems like we are living in the true end-times. Can you shed some light on this subject? ~ Signed, Rapture confusion.

Am I too late to be used by God?

Am I too late to be used by God?

I grew up in church hearing all the regular sermons and the standard Sunday school lessons. I’m a good person that has tried to live right but have made so many mistakes along the way. In the past few years I’ve re-dedicated my life to Jesus and started studying my Bible beginning in Genesis through to Revelation, I’m amazed at all the things I’ve learned that I wasn’t taught all those years in church. With all the baggage from bad decisions in my life, is it too late for me to get to where God wants me to be. I’m no “spring-chicken!” ~Signed, Am I too late?

Seeking forgiveness

Seeking forgiveness

I need someone to tell me the truth about forgiveness. Growing up in a strict church and with strict parents, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. There was no way I could meet all the expectations and rules enforced on me. Any opportunity I found to rebel, I took it. I have spent my life running from Jesus and His rules wanting to do things my way instead, only to discover I’m more miserable than I’ve ever been. In low moments when I’ve been drawn to turn back to Jesus and ask for His forgiveness, I’m led to believe that Jesus won’t forgive me. I’m consumed with guilt and shame for my sins and don’t know what to do. Is there any hope for me? ~ Signed Seeking forgiveness

Drowning in despair. Where is hope?

Drowning in despair. Where is hope?

I need help and don’t know where else to turn. My marriage is falling apart, my husband has already left me, I don’t make enough money to support myself and my child, I have more debt than I will ever be able to pay, and I’m a recovering addict hanging on by a thread here. I read my Bible as best I can, and have prayed, but God isn’t answering my prayers. I have no one I can turn to for help. I’m drowning here, can hardly breathe, and becoming so weary that I’m struggling to believe that God cares about me. What should I do? ~ Signed, Drowning in despair. Let’s see how Daisy responded…
