Dear Roger, Why doesn’t the church in general teach about the spiritual gifts of prophecy, healing, words of knowledge, speaking in tongues, etc. I am starving for this teaching and get it on TV.

Dear Roger,There is so much interest and confusion “swirling around” the issues of Muslims, Islam, acculturalization, burqas, terrorists and Islamic extremism. Could you please give us a simple understanding of what Christians need to know about Islam?Sincerely Rachel One Sunday morning after worship, a young man with Arabic features approached me.

Dear Roger, Recently two of my young friends have raised questions about the creation story.

I’ve noticed that some of my Christian friends who started strong—with a passion for spiritual things—are not ending up so well.
