Bible Line & Mothering From The Heart

A listener is concerned about her salvation. Although saved a number of years ago, she has not walked closely with the Lord…in reading God’s Word or in prayer. She is seeking advice from Audrey.

A California listener was raised in the church and always believed that you couldn’t lose your salvation. Her husband tells her there is no way anyone can really know if they are truly saved. Who is correct?

A caller says that she loves being a work at home mom, but sometimes she just needs some encouragement. Does Audrey have a message or series on this topic?

It’s hard raising children with all the immoral influences that seem so prevalent today. What advice can Audrey give a mom whose teenage daughter seems to be rebelling against Christ and living a pure life. One mom says that her daughter was raised in a good Bible-believing church and appeared to accept Christ at a fairly early age but now the mom is unsure. Would Audrey suggest Christian counselling and how should the mom take control of this situation?

A listener just had another child. She and her husband are now struggling with the concept of birth control. She wants to know whether 1st Corinthians 7 is telling women to abstain from intimacy while ovulating?

A caller has identified that it seems harder to witness to women and wonders if Audrey has some business cards he could hand out.

A listener had sent her mother a link to a movie that shares the gospel. The mother was defensive, saying she had her own religion and did not appreciate her daughter’s insinuation that she was not saved.

A woman is concerned that her faith is waivering because her husband lost a good paying job and had to take one with a substantial pay cut. She is looking for some biblical support.

A listener wants a series that would encourage work-at-home moms.

A woman recently found out about Audrey through a friend’s blog. She appreciates the way Audrey raised her family. Through Audrey’s posts on her web site she is amazed at how God has worked in the Broggis lives. The writer is concerned over being a “baby Christian.” She writes that her husband loves her, but it is not the way she has seen modeled in certain Christian families. The writer wants to know what to do now? She did not seek God’s will when going into the marriage and is worried that the marriage will not last without God in it.

A caller wanted clarification on Audrey’s disappointment in some women’s radio ministries.

Audrey shared one man’s concerns about bikinis on the beach and protecting one’s sons.

A listener wants to strengthen her faith through weekly 24 hour fasts and would like to know Audrey’s opinion. The listener is still nursing.

The final question comes from a stay at home mother of two. She would like to know whether to put her 4 year old son in pre-school.

March 10, 2009 - Some of this week’s questions include: “I struggle with the desire to ‘play’ with my children. I’m overwhelmed with so much that I need to get done. I know I need to prioritize my kids first over housework, but I struggle with the desire sometimes. Have you ever experienced this? What is wrong with me?

As it relates to Titus 2, does a woman loving her husband come naturally or, in light of what Paul is saying, is this something the older woman need to be teaching the younger women to love their husband?

I currenly own a home daycare. What is your opionion of these? Also, I am struggling to have patience at the end of the day with my own kids (5, 4 and 2 months.) A typical workday is 6:45am to 6 pm. Should I quit the daycare for the sake of my own children? Financially, we could do without - but I feel my husband would not support my not having an income. Is there a solution for this also?

I have a son who is homosexual - - he was raised going to church - - I thought he was a Christian - - - any help on how to help him?

My teenage son rarely mixes with his peers and is involved in very few activities. He just wants to stay in his room most of the time, and rarely even talks on the telephone. What do you think causes him to isolate himself in this way?

I have been asked to teach a parenting class at my church and it would be a ‘mixed’ class, husbands and wives (and probably some single parents.) I am not in fvor of teaching men. Could you direct me to the passage that states ‘women should not teach men.’

I am writing a papr for a New Testament Survey on the role of women in the church, and I am lookin for some good references. I want to use the “Steel vs. Gold illustration with the “weaker vessel” verse, but I don’t know if that was from something, or if I should just quote Pastor Carl.

I have a Catholic friend. She called the other day and said these words… “I’m just tired of trying. I can’t make myself holy and I want my kids to be saved. I feel like I’m going to hell if I don’t make it to confession.” What tools have you used in sharing faith with people who still have works-based salvation?
