Episode 203 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. Can you pray to Jesus and God? Or just God in Jesus’ name? What about praying to Mary? I thought you could only pray to the Lord.
2. How can you tell if someone is preaching a false gospel? What is the main thing to pay attention to?
3. What pastoral advice would you have for a wife who is suffering at the hands of an abusive husband? Is it wrong for us who know about it to intervene? If so, do you have any advice for how we should intervene?
4. How do you articulate salvation? Often we want to be responsible for our salvation, saying we choose God. Is it us that chooses God first or does God choose us first? With that, do we then put the responsibility of choice and free will on God? Can you explain this a little clearer?

I have been to churches that are Jesus only churches, where we are baptized only in Jesus, that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one, and that when you get to heaven Jesus is the only one there. Can you explain that? 4. What do you say to a Christian who believes that Jesus died for the forgiveness of their sins but is still afraid of dying? 5. John places Jesus’s cleansing of the temple early in Jesus’s ministry while Matthew says that the event happened near the end of his ministry.

How Can I Learn to “Rejoice in the Lord Always”?
Episode 201 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Philippians 4 says that we should always rejoice in the Lord. How do we do this? What advice do you have for believers who struggle to rejoice? 2. What exactly did Paul mean, or what exactly happened in 1st Corinthians 5:5, when he sent the sinful brother to Satan for the destruction of his flesh? 3. My question is one that perhaps a number of us that were born-again later in life have. Because we walked according to the ways of the world (Eph 2) for a long period of time, many of us have suffered the consequences of our own disobedience. We know that His promises are for us, so in Romans 8:28 we may see through that promise how He used our disobedience to humble us, and call us out of the world, and yet we may question why God did not call us out sooner as those who were raised in Christian homes and converted at a young age. We know that being raised in a Christian home is a great privilege. Not that it converts anyone necessarily but still a privilege. So I struggle with the question…. does God love me less, that He left me so long in unbelief? 4. I have heard you say that Satan can’t place thoughts in our minds and that when we are confronted with Satan or attacked we should use God’s word. What does it really mean to come in contact with Satan?
