Will the Future of the Church be Greater than its Current State?
Episode 314 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. There are so many challenges facing the church. How do you guys continue to have hope? Do you see the future of the church as better than its current state? 2. I have several friends who are homosexual. Leviticus 18.22 calls it an abomination. But does that mean the church should reject them? This is a common practice in the south to the point that they can’t serve on any church board or whole any office in the church. But Matthew 7 says “don’t judge others lest you be judged.” I know judgment is for the Lord, but I care deeply about my friends who are homosexuals. I’m not sure how we are supposed to handle that? 3. What does it mean for God to be one in essence and three in person? Does God’s covenant name, “Yahweh,” belong to the entirety of the Godhead or does it belong more to God the Father? 4. Should Christians live like Jesus could return in any minute even when the church has been waiting over 2000 years for him to return?

Is it Hypocritical to Doubt that God is Real, but Still Go to Church?
Episode 355 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. This seems like a little thing but in the Lord’s prayer it seems that some translations say, “they will be done in earth as it is in heaven,” but the most services use the word “on.” It seems like a big difference in meaning. 2. Is it hypocritical to doubt that God is real and still go to church? 3. How do Christians balance stepping in to be a peacemaker, but also not being overly involved in people’s private lives? 4. In the book of Romans when it says, “no one seeks God,” is the Bible speaking literally? I’ve known a lot of non-believers that have seemed to be seeking the Lord.
