Episode 576 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
1. Do you know of any helpful ways to bring up faith in a conversation that is not awkward or abrupt, or should we always try to evangelize even if it makes regular conversation awkward?
2. How do you pray “in the spirit”? I always thought prayer was good enough, but I am realizing praying “in the spirit” is something totally different.
3. Is the story of Jonah and the Whale historically true, or was it a myth that was handed down through the generations?
4. As Christians, how should we respond if the second amendment, the right to bear arms, were ever to be removed? From a biblical perspective of “live by the sword die by the sword,” is there still a biblical mandate that implies the right to protect yourself and your brothers in such a scenario?

Core Question – How Do I Live the Christian Life?

Is Faithfulness More Important than Faith?
Episode 527 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. How do I enter into a relationship with Christ? 2. In the book of Malachi, we read that God told the Israelites to test him in regard to offerings. However, in the books of the law, He told them not to test Him. I realize that these verses are not part of the same context, but how should we reconcile them? Is there a time when I should test God? 3. In the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, the master tells his two faithful servants, “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.” I’ve always heard our salvation is through faith, like trust, but when I read these words, it almost sounds like a reward for faithfulness. Is faith the same as faithfulness? Is our faithfulness more important than our faith? How should we understand this parable? 4. Why do Christians have an Old Testament in their Bibles if we’re supposed to live according to the New Testament? 5. Recently I have been thinking about forgiveness And when it should be implemented, should we as Christians forgive people before they ask or wait until they ask for it? Sometimes people never ask for forgiveness. Resources Devoted to God: Blueprints for Sanctification by Sinclair B.
