- What does the word kingdom mean in Acts 14:22? Does this mean that we can only by much tribulation enter the church?
- A man in our congregation has done some things he should not have. He did not go to the young woman to ask forgiveness although she is in the same town. He made a general statement to the congregation. Now he has moved on and another congregation has accepted him without asking about his standing in the previous congregation. Did he repent and confess his wrong adequately?
- Can you offer some wisdom concerning the administering of benevolence? How do we know that the person is going to use the money properly for the need they have professed to have?
- What should you do if the congregation you attend does not have elders? The church had elders at one time and for various reasons they resigned, so now we have no elders, and it is said that no one is qualified in the congregation to be an elder. Acts 14:23 says they “..appointed elders in every church…”. Is this still a biblical congregation? What should the congregation do? Should you attend another church that has elders?
- Does God hear prayers of people not in the church? In Acts 10, God heard the prayers of Cornelius?
