Ask Pastor John

As God’s child, you are not enslaved to entertainment or anything else. Christ has purchased a way out for you.

Watching a movie, playing a board game, reading a novel — is God disappointed if we use free time for these instead of reading Scripture and praying?

In Jesus, God has given us what we need to rest — even while we work. To every anxious soul, Jesus says, “Come to me, and I will give you rest.”

Seeing and loving art and seeing and loving divine glory are not the same. They require different ways of seeing. So how can we see the beauty of God?

God has not given us a formula for when to share the gospel quickly and when to share over time in the context of a relationship. Both are needed.

The Great Commission isn’t disconnected from the church — it’s given to the church. God designed the local church and missions to be wed together.

We cannot afford to ignore hell. Christians must care about suffering, but especially eternal suffering. And it must mobilize us to go and to send.

We were made to work, and we are happy only if we do work. But what should we do if our job makes us feel trapped, not fulfilled?

If we are not finding purpose in our work from God, then we will likely turn our job into a means of self-fulfillment and self-advancement.

Wherever we put our money, we are accepting risk. So is there any difference between educated sports gambling and investing in stocks?
