Episode 201 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Philippians 4 says that we should always rejoice in the Lord. How do we do this? What advice do you have for believers who struggle to rejoice? 2. What exactly did Paul mean, or what exactly happened in 1st Corinthians 5:5, when he sent the sinful brother to Satan for the destruction of his flesh? 3. My question is one that perhaps a number of us that were born-again later in life have. Because we walked according to the ways of the world (Eph 2) for a long period of time, many of us have suffered the consequences of our own disobedience. We know that His promises are for us, so in Romans 8:28 we may see through that promise how He used our disobedience to humble us, and call us out of the world, and yet we may question why God did not call us out sooner as those who were raised in Christian homes and converted at a young age. We know that being raised in a Christian home is a great privilege. Not that it converts anyone necessarily but still a privilege. So I struggle with the question…. does God love me less, that He left me so long in unbelief? 4. I have heard you say that Satan can’t place thoughts in our minds and that when we are confronted with Satan or attacked we should use God’s word. What does it really mean to come in contact with Satan?

Episode 211 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Where did the Bible come from? 2. I’m a Father and my daughter is now 3. We go to church regularly, but I’m not sure how my wife and I can take on a more active role in teaching our daughter about Jesus and the gospel. Do you have any suggestions? 3. At what point can someone not understand faith alone and be saved? 4. I have a friend who believes that no one spends eternity in hell. He argues that “perish” in John 3:16 means that the person will not live for eternity in hell but cease to exist. What do you think? 5. I’m wondering, why do you think faithful Christians can still struggle with prayer? 6. Does belief in grace mean that people are free to sin? If people are saved by grace how can they not live however they want?

Episode 495 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. The COVD-19 crisis has touched every aspect of our society, including those in the church. Our church has kept its eyes on the Word and promises of God through this, but there is an attitude with some members that perplexes me. Some people have been openly ribbed for not wanting to shake hands by those who don’t think the virus is very dangerous. Others seem to mock members’ caution and cooperation with civil authorities by staying home and wearing masks, even though we all agree that the Lord is in control. Where is the balance of following our civil authorities’ orders with faith in the Lord? It seems like some Christians think that, since we are people of faith, we should not fear the reality of the danger of the virus at all. 2. How should modern-day Christians respond to those events in the past where people were killed in God’s name, or leaders have used the Word of God to crimes or take advantage of others? Things like the slave trade, the crusades, the Spanish conquistadors in South and Central America. Is murder not the greatest sin? Is this a stain on the image of the church? 3. Why do I find myself constantly asking for the Lord to save me? It is very important to me. I do believe. I believe I’m a sinner, and that Jesus paid for my payment on the cross, a debt I couldn’t pay. I’m just wondering, why am I always looking for that assurance?
