Episode 459 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I have been a Christian for over 15 years. And recently, I have been having this overwhelming fear of dying. Even though I know there is a heaven and there is eternity, there is a seed of doubt of “what if this is the end?” It has given me anxiety and panic attacks. What are some encouragement or even helpful resources you can give to me?  2. I have been frustrated over receiving more information about the Coronavirus, but that there is an appalling lack of wisdom. What is godly wisdom? Does it come primarily through reading Scripture? Does it come primarily through praying to God on a daily basis? And I guess for me, how can I confront these frustrations that I have, and defeat them with God’s help? 3. What is the biblical stance on racism? How should Christians respond to oppression?  4. Did the Pope change a line in the Lord’s prayer from “lead us not into temptation” to “protect us from temptation, and deliver us from evil”? What happened with that particular sentence of the Lord’s prayer?  Resources The Message of Acts in the History of Redemption by Dennis Johnson Request our latest special offers here or call 1-833-THE-CORE (833-843-2673) to request them by phone.

Episode 447 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. It seems there are a lot of questions or theories about what happened with the end of the gospel of Mark. How does one explain what seems to be an abrupt ending of to a non-believer or someone questioning the faith especially when reading this gospel?  2. Thank the Lord, I am saved! But I know that I am a sinner. How do I overcome the bitterness about the people who are child molesters, mass murderers, serial killers, these horrible people who do horrible things? How do I overcome the bitterness toward them for the things they do, and will they go to heaven? Everyone says that if you believe in God and you are saved, you will go to heaven. I am so bitter, and I know it is wrong for me to do that.  3. Several times in the Bible it says to fear God. I’ve always heard that means like a respectful fear. Most of the time I find myself fearing God like I’m terrified of Him. I worry about His punishment, yet I mess up and sin all the time which makes me fear even more. I fear the end of time when we are judged. Is that type of fear biblical? How should my view of God be in respect to fear?  4. When we get angry at another person, for whatever reason, are we ultimately angry at God? I believe that anger comes from pride, and pride opposes God.  Resources Obeying God Out of Slavish Fear by Adriel Sanchez The Gospel-Driven Life: Being Good News People in a Bad News World by Michael Horton Request our latest special offers here or call 1-833-THE-CORE (833-843-2673) to request them by phone.
