Faith naturally involves questions, and the Bible provides clear answers for life's biggest concerns. Whether someone can be saved at the last moment, how to handle difficult family relationships, what to look for in a marriage partner, or how to practice biblical generosity - Scripture offers guidance for every situation. The key principle throughout is that Christianity focuses on relationship with God rather than perfect performance. When dealing with abusive family members, loving non-believing relatives, or struggling with self-forgiveness, the solution involves trusting God's wisdom over our own understanding and taking steps of faith even when they feel uncomfortable.

Christians face complex questions about sharing faith, medical ethics, suffering, and relationships that don't have simple answers. When approaching non-believing friends, it's important to lower expectations and lead with love rather than judgment. Regarding fertility treatments like IVF, the key concern centers on when life begins and what happens to unused embryos. Suffering serves as a reminder that this world isn't our final home and drives us back to God. For parents concerned about adult children's faith, authentic living often speaks louder than arguments. While we may not understand why difficult things happen, we can trust in who God is - the One who loved us while we were sinners and remains faithful even in our confusion.

Christians today face complex questions about technology, relationships, and faith that require biblical wisdom rather than simple answers. From navigating AI's opportunities and dangers to understanding biblical grounds for divorce, God's Word provides guidance for modern challenges. When sharing faith with skeptics, we can point to fulfilled prophecies, apostolic martyrdom, and the unique gospel message as evidence of Scripture's divine origin. Old Testament accounts of God's wrath reveal both His hatred of sin and His incredible love for sinners. Whether addressing cohabitation, heavenly recognition, or family planning, biblical principles help believers make decisions that honor God even when cultural pressures suggest easier alternatives.

In this thoughtful conversation, Pastor Mike from Focal Point Ministries answers a caller who asks whether gambling is a sin. Pastor Mike explains why the issue isn't merely about “self-control,” but about the nature of gambling itself—what he calls agreed-upon theft. He contrasts gambling with biblically approved ways of earning money (work, investment, inheritance) and warns about the destructive patterns he's witnessed in many families. While not placing gambling at the top of the sin list, Pastor Mike gives clear pastoral counsel: Christians should avoid practices rooted in greed, chance, and financial harm.Text ASK to 90398 to ask Pastor Mike a Bible Question.Text GOLIVE to 90398 to be notified when ASK Pastor Mike is LIVE.Find more ways to learn your Bible at https://focalpointministries.org/Have a Bible Question?
