Episode 327 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. Jesus wants you to turn your cheek. Jesus was historically a zealot who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. How does that come in line with the words in Scripture to turn the other cheek?
2. Please discuss spiritual disciplines. Why are these not taught as much as say in the days of the Puritans?
3. How do you know if you are truly repenting of your sin? What about people who struggle with the same sins again and again?
4. Where one word is shown in two places, for instance, in one place it talks about the judgment day where God will say, “I never knew you.” Yet isn’t it in the Old Testament where God said to someone, “even before you were conceived, I knew you.” These seem to be contradictory but I’m curious as to what you have to say about that.

In Mark 12 when Jesus teaches that in heaven there won’t be marriage, that we will be like angles. This has always bothered me because I really like being married to my wife. How should I understand this? Does this mean that my wife won’t be my wife in heaven? 5. What is the difference between striving to live a holy life and works righteousness? When does morality become moralism? 6. In Isaiah 55 where it says, “Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food,” my question is this: How can we find more satisfaction in what God gives?
