Listeners ask about communion at weddings, when believers may sue nonbelievers, and a take on an Elvis concert film. They debate church membership, concerns about Jesus TV dramas, and whether churches should advertise online. Tough pastoral issues include counsel for anorexia, helping spouses of porn-addicted partners, and responding righteously to public evil.

ADVICE

Treat Wedding Communion With Grace

  • Don't make a big deal if a bride and groom take communion alone at a wedding.
  • Todd Friel says it's technically best in a local church context but it's a unity meal and not worth breaking fellowship over.
INSIGHT

Suing Nonbelievers Affects Law, Not Testimony

  • The Bible doesn't prohibit Christians suing non-Christians but forbids believers suing believers because of testimony.
  • Todd explains the prohibition is about witness: believers suing believers signals lack of unity and grace to the world.
ADVICE

Don't Treat Church Attendance As Optional

  • If you dislike or avoid local church, investigate and repent rather than assume it's irrelevant to salvation.
  • Todd warns persistent disdain for the brethren could indicate you are not a Christian and urges healing and rejoining a local body.
