This week on LifeWords Q&A, David Reay tackles three of your questions.
  1. I’ve just about given up on church. What can I do so that my own faith doesn’t suffer as a result?
  2. What does it mean to say the Bible is the inspired word of God?
  3. I’ve always been puzzled about why the Song of Solomon is in the Bible. It seems like a normal love poem but people tell me it’s really about Jesus.
