Episode 183 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. On an episode you said that prayer is just talking to God, but I know that you also think written prayers are a good thing. Can you explain how you hold these together? 2. Is it okay for Christians to date non-Christians? What about a person who is open to coming to church? 3. In a few places Jesus teaches that Christians should expect to suffer persecution. In your understanding how does that make sense of most of us in America who hardly seem to suffer any real persecution for their faith? 4. Should we teach our children to pray to God when they haven’t yet professed faith? Or should we wait until we are confident that they are really Christians? 5. What does it mean to have a personal relationship with God? What am I supposed to experience?

Episode 218 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. How should we understand places where Jesus calls us to take up our cross? How does this relate to salvation being a free gift? 2. My father died and I don’t believe he repented of his sins and was “born again.” My father was a good man and believed in Jesus but I really don’t know if this was a belief in his heart or his head. Will he be subject to judgment? 3. How should we understand ongoing struggles with sin? No matter how hard I try I don’t achieve any noticeable victory? 4. In another episode you talked about doubts as not being sinful. This is completely different from what I heard growing up. Can you explain this more? 5. What does the Bible mean when it describes our life as hidden with Christ in God and raised up with Christ? 6. What does it mean that the wicked perish? I know it’s taught that the wicked burn in hell, but in John 3:16how can we translate that into ‘burn in hell forever,’ instead of being separated from God forever?
