Socializing with those not in assembly
Why do girls wear head coverings in an address and Q&A when they are not assembly meetings? I understand the thought that we should be prayerful during meeting, but we’re told to pray without ceasing so that reason would bring you to wear one all the time.
Can you please give a brief outline for the book of Revelation? How far through the prophecies there are we?
I am ashamed of myself for this, but I have trouble sharing the gospel with others. I know that according to Romans 1:16, I should be ready and willing to share it. Do you have any suggestions?
What does effective shepherding look like today? What qualifies someone to be a shepherd?
I have a Christian colleague who is marrying a guy from a Catholic background, but is not saved and does not attend anywhere consistently to my knowledge, at the end of this month. I know based on 2 Corinthians 6:14 that what she’s doing is wrong. But I don’t have a relationship with her outside of work, and don’t want to ruin what we do have. What should I do?
When speaking to peers about the power of Jesus blood, some will question why or how God can forgive and save people whom society deems deplorable such as Hitler or Epstein.
Well, I know that the blood of Christ can wash away the vilest of sins and that every sin is equally bad in God’s eyes. I would enjoy some wisdom on how to better explain salvation to those that use this point to excuse it as crazy.
What does Hebrews 5:9 mean when it says Jesus was “made perfect”? He was always perfect!
Today we hear so much about “self care” that can so easily tip into “selfish care”. I’m wondering if there are some biblical principles/examples that could help one discern if they are fulfilling a “want” or a “need”. 2 Cor. 12:15, Matt. 14:23
Per Luke 17:5-6, it seems as if faith is binary, that you either have it or not, and that it cannot be increased. Is this correct? If so, sometimes we reference a Christian or describe the OT saints in Hebrews 11 as having a lot of faith. How do these reconcile?

In Genesis 17:17 it says that Abraham laughed, Seemingly for the same reason that Sarah did. Why in Genesis 18:13 does the Lord only address Sarah laughing?
Genesis 17:1-2 describes the covenant made between God and Abraham. In Genesis 22:15-18, after Abraham shows his faith, God promises blessing to Abraham. Do God’s promises depend on human obedience?
What are we meant to be doing during the passing of the emblems?
1 Samuel 16:14 “But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.” I understand the first half of the verse, but would the second half not be a demon which wouldn’t be from God? Is it correct to say that the Lord allowed an evil spirit or a demon from the devil to possess Saul?
The second half of Amos 3:4 states: “Will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?” Is this simply a rhetorical question, does it mean that God keeps His promises, or does it have another spiritual meaning?
How would someone know if they are of 1 of the 10 “lost tribes”? E.x. Maybe someone sitting here now is from the tribe of Issachar?
What spurred God’s decision to create humans? Was there a void in His satisfaction in the eternity before humans were created to be the Bride of Christ?\
