It’s Mailbag Friday! You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers!



Segment 1



• Why do you always say “my never before nicotine-stained fingers”—what’s the story?



• How should Christians view cadaver dissection in medical training?



• Should I invite Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons into my home to evangelize them?



Segment 2



• If the Bible is all-sufficient, is it a waste of time to read anything else for fun?



• Is it false teaching to preach repentance but never mention God’s wrath?



• Why are so many wives initiating divorce—and does therapy contribute?



Segment 3



• Can Maximus listen to Wretched during math class—or does Mr. Friel need to intervene?



• Should a repentant sinner be allowed to disciple others right away?



Segment 4



• Should we say “plead the blood” in prayer—or is that unnecessary?



• Can God use depression or anxiety to break us from habitual sin?



• How do I comfort an unbeliever who’s grieving someone who died without Christ?
