Episode 426 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Thank you for being so pastoral in your answers. Regarding the coronavirus, what are some ways that your churches have used technology to encourage one another as local gatherings are shut down? I know of video meetings, but are there any other creative ways your flock is caring for another using technology? Blessings. 2. A buddy of mine is struggling with his faith, doubt, and agnosticism, but he also has Christian tattoos . How should I talk to him? He knows what the Bible says, but he grew up in a family that taught him the science behind why life exists. 3. Do you believe that all Christians are filled with the Spirit or do we need to seek the filling of the Spirit after we become believers? 4. How do we pray? The Bible talks about being close with Christ. Jesus says, “come to me those who are weary or come to me and I’ll open the door” but nowhere in the Bible does anyone pray to Jesus or talk about praying to Jesus. We are to pray in his name. How do we have a relationship with Christ if we are not praying to him? 5. How do we know we are going to heaven when we die? How do I know my mom made it to heaven when she died?

Episode 597 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. CoreChristianity.com   Show Notes   1. I grew up in a church that would go into a lot of details about the book of Revelation trying to discern if we were living in the last days and what it all meant, but in all those years I never understood the point or the big picture of what the book is about. What is the main thing I should get from reading the book? 2. What role do good works play in a Christian’s life as it relates to the final judgment? 3. Does God sometimes leave us to struggle in our own sin? I’ve struggled with a certain sin for a long time, and I have prayed countless times that God lead me from the temptation and that the sin wouldn’t have the hold on me that it has, and I still feel the same. I feel almost as if God is purposely having me struggle through it. Can you give me any advice? 4. If we find ourselves breaking the 10 Commandments, does that mean we need to try harder to put our trust in Christ and simply repent more often?

I have heard people say that the Bible is really clear but after dealing with it for years, the Bible seems less and less clear to me. Do you think we protestants are right to insist that the Bible is clear even when there are so many obscure and difficult passages in the Old Testament and the New? 3. How can I tell if my Pastor is a false teacher? 4. Should Christians still trust the past writings of teachers and authors who have fallen into deep sin? 5. Do you have any advice for how to balance having a spiritual life with being a parent of young children? 6. What do people mean when they say that, “God is love”?
