Episode 244 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. How do I know that Jesus is real?
2. What you think about the state of our culture and how Christians should think about it?
3. Psalm 111.9 says, “he sent redemption unto his people. He hath commanded his covenant forever. Holy and reverend is his name.” If God’s name is reverend, why is it okay to use reverend in front of a man’s name like reverend so and so at church?
4. Is it possible to struggle with addiction and be a true Christian?
5. What does it mean to be saved? I’m confused by the past, present and future language of being saved in the Bible.

The Curse of Canaan
Episode 613 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. In the Gospel of John it seems like some people “believed” but really didn’t, according to Jesus. How do we understand this, particularly in reference to ourselves or our friends who may “believe” but might not be saved? How can we discern whether someone is in that state, or is that something only Jesus can see? 2. It seems like in every job there is some form of complicity we share with unethical practices, whether it is selling products made in sweatshops or being in politics or the armed forces where, for better or for worse, you have other people’s lives or livelihoods in your hands. Are there some jobs that Christians should avoid entirely, or how should we practice wisdom when choosing our careers? 3. In Genesis 9, why does Noah curse Canaan after he awakens from his drunkenness and not Ham? What is the significance of Noah’s nakedness being uncovered and covered? 4. What do you think the state of the church is right now, is it good or bad? Are we compromising to the culture and world around us?

Are Denominations Biblical?
Episode 180 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Why would Jesus tell us to be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect when we struggle daily with sin? Isn’t this an impossible command? 2. What do people mean when they say that the Kingdom of God is already and not yet? Isn’t this a contradiction? 3. If we shun people who are not connected to a church, is that not putting ourselves as judges? And didn’t Jesus say not to judge? 4. What did Jesus mean in John 3:14-15 when he says that he will be like the snake that Moses lifted up in the wilderness? 5. Are denominations biblical?
