Dear Roger, I am a devout Christian and my girlfriend is Mormon. We have been dating about a year. My question is: What is the best way to go out about understanding, accepting, and growing together towards spiritual mothers and fathers? I have drawn from the your past sermon on condemnation engineering that “I’m right,
Dear Roger,My teenager is obsessed with reading books and watching movies about vampires. That really seems to be the rage with her teenage friends. She wants to know what God has to say about vampires. Could you help me here? I don’t have an answer for her.Thank you, B Dear B, What a time to be
Dear Roger, The world is pushing Christians towards sin, materialism, sexual deviance, and power. I’ve noticed that some of my Christian friends who started strong—with a passion for spiritual things—are not ending up so well. I’ve often heard, “It’s not how you start, but how you finish.” Can you share some thoughts on how to
Dear Roger, Now we have the results: the President has made a bold move to protect Israel. It seems to me that a lot of older Christians have an unhealthy obsession with Israel.

Dear Roger, I have a question and it should probably go to a pastor. The Bible most commonly refers to God in the masculine. Therefore, many Christians believe he is male. That does bring up one question in my mind, though (and I’m looking for some biblical examples/references). When someone loses their father, they can turn to
Dear Roger, If life exists on other planets, did Jesus die and resurrect for them, too? Sincerely, Tom Dear Tom, What a great Easter question! Revelation 13:6 describes Jesus as the “Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.” Could it be that Jesus was crucified and then resurrected on a cosmic cross before God
In November 2017, Iran and Iraq suffered the deadliest earthquake in modern history. The 7.3 magnitude quake caused the ground to undulate like a waterbed disturbed from its calm serenity by a child jumping on it to play. Can you imagine the terror and fear every man, woman, and child experienced in those moments? Buildings
Dear Roger, I grew up at Casas Church. I remember how you occasionally closed each service by asking the congregation to bow their heads and close their eyes. Then, you guided us through a meditation on a particular biblical passage or story. I use meditation as part of my quiet times. These meditations often take
