How can we prove that we have all sinned?

Ray Comfort's evangelistic method, The Way of the Master, proves universal sin by using the Ten Commandments as a moral mirror. By asking people whether they have ever lied, stolen, or lusted (Matthew 5:28), he uses the Law to engage the conscience and reveal that all are guilty lawbreakers. This shows them their need for a Savior, making the Good News of Christ's sacrifice on the cross meaningful (Romans 3:20).

What is the role of Christian parents in today's society?

The essential role of Christian parents is to be the primary disciple-makers in their home, a critical task in today's secular society. This involves intentionally integrating faith into daily life (Deuteronomy 6:7), teaching a biblical worldview, and actively modeling a life transformed by the Gospel. By prioritizing spiritual instruction and acting as media gatekeepers, parents equip their children to be independent, counter-cultural followers of Christ.

Should a Christian Always Support Israel?

The question of supporting Israel requires distinguishing between the Jewish people (God's chosen nation with irrevocable covenants) and the modern State of Israel (a political entity). While Christians are biblically mandated to bless and love the people (Romans 11:29; Genesis 12:3), our ultimate loyalty is to the Kingdom of God, which demands we pursue justice, kindness, and peace for all people (Micah 6:8; Matthew 5:9). Therefore, Christian support should be principled—affirming God's promises while challenging all parties toward righteousness.

Why Is the West Turning Its Back on God?

The West is turning its back on God due to a complex process called secularization. Key causes include: 1) The Enlightenment and Rationalism, which elevated human reason above divine authority; 2) Affluence and Existential Security (Deuteronomy 32:15), which diminished the need for God; and 3) Internal Church failures like scandals and lukewarmness (Revelation 3:15-16), which have compromised the Christian witness (Romans 2:23-24). The path forward is for the Church to embrace its role as a distinct, faithful minority.

Should a Christian be friends with a homosexual

Yes, a Christian should be friends with a homosexual person. This is required by the universal command to love your neighbor (Mark 12:31) and follows Jesus’s example of eating with "sinners" (Matthew 9:11). The friendship should be guided by spiritual discernment, maintaining biblical conviction without compromise, while being wary of bad company that corrupts (1 Corinthians 15:33). The goal is to be an ambassador of Christ's love and truth.

How Can a Christian Live in a Secular Society?

A Christian lives in a secular society by embracing the posture of an "ambassador in exile," balancing engagement and distinction. This means refusing to conform to the pattern of this world (Romans 12:2) while actively living a life of good deeds and integrity among non-believers (Matthew 5:16; 1 Peter 2:12). The key is to be prepared to defend the faith with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15), relying on Christian community for strength.

Why Are Christians an Easy Target in Comedy?

Christians are an easy target in comedy primarily due to the obvious hypocrisy—the gap between the high moral standards of the Gospel and the human failure of believers (Matthew 7:3). This is compounded by the Church's historical cultural dominance, which makes it a low-risk, high-recognition target for satire (often seen as "punching up"). Christians are called to respond with humility and remember that Christ promised they would face the scorn of the world (Matthew 5:11).

How Should a Christian View Video Games and Excessive Screen Time?

A Christian should view video games and screen time with discernment, as they are morally neutral but prone to excess. The spiritual danger is poor stewardship of time, as believers are commanded to be wise and make the most of every opportunity (Ephesians 5:15–16). They must also avoid mastery by anything (1 Corinthians 6:12) and ensure all content is pure and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8). The key is balance and intentional boundaries.

Should a Christian Join the Army and Fight in a War?

A Christian's decision to join the military involves balancing two biblical mandates: radical love and non-violence (Matthew 5:38–39) and submission to governing authorities who bear the sword to restrain evil (Romans 13:4). The majority position is Just War Theory, which allows participation only to defend the innocent. The minority position is Pacifism, which rejects all war. The individual must make the decision with a clear, prayerful conscience (Romans 14:5).

How Should a Christian Respond to the Black Lives Matter Movement?

A Christian response to the BLM movement must affirm the sacred value of all Black lives (the Imago Dei) and the biblical mandate to act justly (Micah 6:8). This requires discerning between the need for justice and secular philosophies that contradict the universal nature of sin (Romans 3:23) and the truth that identity is ultimately in Christ (Galatians 3:28). The Christian's primary response is the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18), exercised through listening, lamenting, and advocating for righteous systemic change.

Is Formal Marriage Really Necessary?

Yes, marriage is necessary. For Christians, living together (cohabitation) is not a substitute for the public, lifelong covenant God established (Genesis 2:24). Marriage is necessary because it honors God's design, provides covenantal protection, and is the only context where sexual intimacy is not considered sexual immorality (Hebrews 13:4). The unmarried Christian is commanded to practice purity and self-control (1 Thessalonians 4:3–4).

Should Church and State Be Separate?

A Christian affirms the separation of church and state as institutions to protect the Church's freedom and spiritual mission, based on Christ’s command to render to Caesar and to God (Matthew 22:21). The State has its distinct role of maintaining order (Romans 13:4). However, Christians must reject the separation of faith from public life, as they are commanded to be salt and light and advocate for biblical justice and morality in civil society (Matthew 5:13, 16).

Should a Christian Wear Fast Fashion Clothing?

A Christian should be cautious of fast fashion due to its conflict with biblical principles of justice and stewardship. The low cost often relies on exploiting workers and withholding fair wages (James 5:4; Deuteronomy 24:14–15), which God strongly condemns. Furthermore, it encourages excessive consumerism (Hebrews 13:5) and violates the mandate to care for creation (Genesis 2:15). Believers should prioritize quality, ethical sourcing, and second-hand alternatives.

Should Christians Waste Food?

A Christian must not waste food. This practice dishonors God's provision (Psalm 145:15–16) and conflicts with the ethical duty to care for the poor (Matthew 25:42, 45). Jesus' direct command to "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted" (John 6:12) is the standard for responsible stewardship. Believers should practice mindful consumption, planning, and generosity to ensure resources are used wisely.

What to Do When You Disagree with Your Child’s Ungodly Education

When a child’s education is ungodly, the Christian parent must intensify biblical instruction at home, acting as the chief spiritual educator (Deuteronomy 6:6–7). The goal is to equip the child to process conflicting ideas through biblical discernment, guarding against hollow and deceptive philosophy (Colossians 2:8). If the conflict becomes spiritually destructive, parents must prayerfully consider changing the environment through advocacy, Christian school, or homeschooling—prioritizing the child's spiritual health above all else.

Should a Christian Work on the Sabbath?

Christians are not bound by the specific Jewish Sabbath Law, as Christ is its fulfillment and the Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28; Colossians 2:16–17). However, the Principle of the Sabbath—setting aside time for rest and worship—remains vital. Working becomes an issue when it prevents the Christian from fulfilling the command to meet together (Hebrews 10:25) and leads to spiritual burnout. Work of necessity or mercy is permissible, but believers should seek rest (Psalm 127:1–2).

How can Christians stay strong when society mocks or misunderstands their beliefs?

Christians stay strong by recognizing that societal rejection is expected (1 Peter 4:4). The key is to anchor identity in Christ (Matthew 5:11–12), be prepared to give an answer with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15), and to silence critics with a life of good deeds (1 Peter 3:17). Spiritual strength is maintained through Scripture, prayer, and community (Hebrews 3:13).

Does Being a Christian Mean Giving Up All the Fun?

The idea that Christianity is boring is a myth. The biblical life is not about subtraction, but finding a greater source of lasting joy and true pleasure in God's presence (Psalm 16:11). Giving up destructive "fun" is an exchange of the slavery of sin for the freedom and adventure of following Christ, which provides a meaning that the repetitive, self-centered life can never offer (Galatians 5:22–23).

Are We Living in a Self-Centred Society?

The Bible describes the fallen nature of humanity as fundamentally self-centered (2 Timothy 3:1-5). Modern society, often called narcissistic or individualistic, is simply the cultural manifestation of this innate sin. Christians are called to counter this by embracing radical self-denial (Luke 9:23) and prioritizing love for God and neighbor over personal wants. The Gospel transforms a life centered on self into a life centered on Christ and service.
