Writing Tips from the Team

August 1st, 2017
One of our new volunteers, Myles B, asked for some advice from other writers on our Facebook group before starting out, and several responded. We thought it would be helpful for all to see. Thanks so much for your input! From Myles: Before I get my first question in a few days; any advice for me? I've been counseling primarily police and a military for the last eleven years, but typically face to face. I am aware that when I "text" I can come off as aggressive and I know I am embarking on an entirely new area here. I don't want to inadvertently . . .

Reminders on Answering Questions

June 2nd, 2017
Just a few things to remember as we head into summer: - Summer brings about travel, out of town guests, and stay-cations for many. If you will be unavailable to answer questions for any reason, please be sure to let us know so we can mark you out. - If you receive a question that you will not have time to answer, do not know how to answer, or do not want to answer, please request reassignment as soon as possible. The due dates on questions do not change, so we need to reassign them as soon as possible to give the next writer enough time to respond . . .

Sample Q&A from January 2017

February 1st, 2017
Question: Does the Bible teach that we are to confess each sin by name? Answered by: Fritz Awig, who has been a volunteer with us since January, 2009. Answer: Confession of sins is an important part of the Christian walk with God. Certainly 1 John 1:9 is one of the most familiar passages on this topic: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." There is a great deal of comfort in this verse because of God's promise to forgive our sins when we confess them to Him. That . . .

Sample Q&As from December 2016

January 2nd, 2017
Question: It has been 10 years since my conversion, and I have made attempts to evangelize, and in at least 2 of those attempts, the subject said they got saved. If I let fear, laziness, or inexperience keep me from telling others about Jesus, then is this idolatry? Galatians 5:19-21 says: "Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, . . .
