Episode 216 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. What does it look like when the Bible says that we should be angry and not sin? And how might this apply to a person who struggles with anger?
2. How does Samson point us to Christ?
3. My son was killed in a car accident and I worry about him and his salvation. We are of the Catholic faith. My Son was baptized and confirmed. But I don’t really know what he believed, and I worry about him.
4. Romans 3 teaches that no one seeks God and that no one is righteous. I want to believe the Bible, but it seems like Paul is being hyperbolic since it seems like unbelievers can still do a lot of good in the world and many people really do seek God.
5. How am I supposed to understand how miracles work in the Bible when they seem so untrue?

Does God Judge Those Who Take Communion Without Repentance?
Episode 534 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. If only the Father knows when Christ shall return, why does Revelation say that the Bride has made herself ready for Christ? 2. When Paul warned the Corinthians that “whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord” in 1 Corinthian 11, does that mean we need to prepare ourselves ahead of time so that we can take the Lord’s supper in a worthy manner? 3. What did Jesus mean he said, “Woe to the Pharisees for they devour widow’s houses”? 4. I was wondering in what order should the third use of the law be preached in a sermon? Does preaching it out of order risk turning the gospel into law?

Is the Worship Service for Christians or Unbelievers?
Episode 624 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. In James 1:2, it tells us, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds.” How does joy help us face life’s trials? 2. In Esther 4, when it says that Esther has been born for “such a time as this,” does this apply to our lives as well? 3. How can we help non-believers come to faith? 4. I was always taught that the church service is for unbelievers, and it is a place where conversion happens, but I recently heard someone say that church is for Christians only. Which is it?

How Do I Conquer My Sin?
Episode 411 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. How does a Christian mortify sin? Because Scripture says that if we put to death the deeds of the Body than we shall live. So, can you give some practical steps on how to mortify sin. For example, how to mortify profanity. If someone keeps using foul language and they keep repenting and they get tired of repenting because they keep doing it the moment after they repent, how does a person overcome and mortify that kind of sin? 2. What does Paul mean when he says that ‘we are to judge angels’? 3. Why is it important to believe in justification by faith and have assurance? Doesn’t a lack of having assurance help us to sate motivated to do good works? 4. In John 14:27 Jesus says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” But in Matthew 10:34 Jesus says, “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.” How do these two fit together? Resources Devoted to God: Blueprints for Sanctification by Sinclair B.
