Episode 549 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
1. How do we reconcile the Lord’s Prayer, where it says, “Lead us not into temptation,” with James 1, where it says, “no one should say, ‘God is tempting me’”?
2. Recently I refused to give money to a panhandler, and I feel guilty about it. Should I feel this way, or was I justified in refusing him?
3. Did Peter teach Jesus delivers to us the Spirit, forgiveness, and salvation in Acts 2:38 and 1 Peter 3:21? Didn’t the earliest Christians in church history hold to baptismal regeneration?
4. 2020 has felt like a really emotionally exhausting year. It seems like in every area of life there is a conflict between people, and though I have never dealt with depression before, that is the only thing that makes sense of what I am feeling throughout this year. How can people like me persevere and hang on when it feels like one thing after another is weighing life down?

I don’t really pray on any sort of regular basis and I’m thinking maybe it would be good to start writing out my prayers in a prayer journal. I have a friend who does this, and even though I’m worried about formalism, I think that this might at least help me to start praying. What do you think? 4. We have a church that is really into choruses. My family and I are more into hymns and classical songs. We do not feel worshipful when we have to sing the same phrase over and over. How do we approach people to try to get through what you are talking about, the meat of the music, the core of the doctrine, what psalms and hymns profess?
