"How can I be sure my household will be blessed?"

Why do you call John 17 the "real" Lord's prayer? Ezekiel 1-2 are filled with creatures, symbols, and a commissioning of the prophet. Can you explain this? How is true, biblical discernment different from the judging of others that I often see? Did Jesus really say that some standing before Him would not die until the kingdom had come? How can that be if we are still waiting on His return today? I've been saturated in the message of grace for decades, and now I'm sharing it with others! How can I decide whom to give money to? I often feel pressure but want to use discernment in my giving. Why is it such a big deal to know the cross is the true dividing line of human history? I broke off my engagement, because she's pro-choice. Would a "mixed household" still be blessed by God?
