When we don’t feel the Holy Spirit like we think we are supposed to it can create a lot of anxiety. Can we ever actually KNOW that the Holy Spirit is in us? Can we lose the Holy Spirit?

Should Christians obey the government? Taken on their own, some biblical passages say “yes” while others imply “no”… but do these passages actually contradict each other?

Honestly, it seems that doing “what the Bible says” can mean just about whatever anyone wants it to mean. So what do we do? How do we read, understand, and even use the Bible properly and not just use it to justify whatever we want?
