2. If salvation is a gift, what role do works play in the Christian life?
3. My husband and I have a question about the worship music from Bethel, Elevation Church, & Hillsong, but mostly worship music that comes from churches that preach false teachings like health and wealth prosperity teachings. As we moved from the big church we were attending and are now looking for another church that is one thing we have been convicted on, should we be concerned if a church plays songs from these churches? What should we look for in worship?

Why Do the Ten Commandments Sound So Negative?
Episode 533 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. Why did God choose Jacob over Esau or David over Saul when they were all moral screw-ups? 2. I heard your answer to Jade about there not being any shame at the judgment seat of Christ for believers. I was wondering, what does that mean, then, for our works to be tested, and what we build on Christ will last, but what we build of hay will be burned and our souls will be saved but only as through fire? What does that mean that there is no pain at the judgment of believers before we reign with Christ? 3. What do Paul and Jesus mean when they say that the bread and wine are Christ’s body and blood? Is this metaphorical? 4. Why are the 10 commandments all about telling us what we shouldn’t do? Doesn’t this focus our attention on negative traits instead of what we should be doing for one another and for God?

What Should I do When Church and Sports Compete?
Episode 485 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I am a Christian who goes to church every Sunday, but I want to start gymnastics and most of the competitions are on Sunday morning. I’m wondering if it is okay if I miss a day of church (even though I don’t want to)? 2. I have a question about Genesis 6. I believe you would call them the Nephilim, or the sons of God, uniting with the daughters of men. That passage perplexes me. 3. Romans 8:16 says, “The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” I am now coming to understand that our ultimate grounds for assurance is in what Christ has objectively done for us. How are we to look at this verse in light of our present reality? 4. How can there not be apostles today if we still have pastors?
