Feel free to ask your question here by clicking on "Ask a Question." We will receive notice that you have posted a question and will try to answer in a timely, appropriate, and biblical manner.

From time to time, I will also post questions that arrive by email. Some are shy to post publicly, but they will not go without a response.

If we can help you further, besides questions, please let us know. We have a number of friends around the world who may be able to give you personal attention or teaching.

Above all, we wish God's presence in your life and power to effect the changes to make you the kind of person he desires and you are seeking to be.
