Key questions answered in today’s show:

2. What do you think is more important for a church good preaching or heartfelt worship?
3. Since Galatians 5:24 says, “And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires,” does this mean that if a person hasn’t completely killed sin are they are not really a Christian?

Should Christians Give to the Homeless?
Episode 573 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. I have heard that in prayer we can be totally honest with God, even cry and yell and demand for help when we need it. I recently have seen videos of prosperity preachers screaming in prayer and demanding things of God that seem strange. So how should we model ourselves in prayer? 2. What does Hebrews 12 mean when it says that “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses”? Who are these witnesses, angels, believers who have died, or something else? 3. Philippians 2:4 says that I should put the needs of others ahead of my own. Matthew 5:40 says that if someone asks me for my shirt, I should give them my coat also. So, if someone approaches me with a need and I have the resources to help I almost always help them. I do, however, have Christian friends who criticize me because they think I’m letting other people take advantage of me. Are they right? 4. Since Muslims actually admit that Jesus is an anointed messenger and messiah, and in light of Matt. 10:32, where Jesus says that, “So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven,” do Christians do well to condemn Muslims just because they do not confess the Christ of the creeds?

Faith and Doubt with Special Guest Derek Rishmawy
Episode 288 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. My question is we often sing songs like great is thy faithfulness, praising God for never failing. But how do people know that God hasn’t failed. If people experience difficulties they say, “well Jesus said we would have to endure trials. Shall we accept good from his hand and not evil?” So, God not failing us is pretty bad. How would we know the difference if he was actually failing us? 2. I have heard you guys say that the atonement isn’t divine child abuse. Can you explain how God can be loving and yet sacrifice his son on the cross?
