Episode 335 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. I have heard you make the point that churches that are too concerned with being relevant to the culture can lose focus on what matters, salvation and heaven. But at the same time, you have said that this world matters to God and that loving our neighbors is also important. Can you speak to how to balance relevance and focusing on heaven?
2. I have gotten three different confirmations to move from Texas to Colorado. And I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt. I quit my job and moved, things are great now, but when I did move, my wife left me and went back to Texas. What am I supposed to do?
3. The church seems so confused by false teaching today. I have been listening to the show for a while and you guys often do a good job of being hopeful. I would love to know more about that and hear about what you see in the church that gives you hope.
4. How do you understand Revelation 7:13 and 14? What do the robes mean?

Did Jesus Go to Hell Before His Resurrection?
Episode 234 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. What does first John 2 mean when it says not to be attached by the things of this world? How does this fit with being appreciative and thankful for God’s creation? 2. I believe churches should format their liturgies to a regulative form and scripture-based worship. For this is Gods prerogative on how to approach him. Now, my question is, how can we reconcile this to the dancing of David? Others justify this saying that church worship must be like David’s, without limits. 3. When the creeds talk about Jesus descending into hell, what exactly does that mean? How should we understand this? 4. Isaiah 6:9 cannot be referring to Jesus when it says, ‘Everlasting Father.’ I’m confused why Isaiah is applying being the Father to Jesus? If Jesus and the Father are distinct persons how does this fit? 5. Is it fair to say that Israel was the Old Testament church? I have heard you say something like this before, but shouldn’t we keep Judaism and Christianity separate?

What you think about the state of our culture and how Christians should think about it? 3. Psalm 111.9 says, “he sent redemption unto his people. He hath commanded his covenant forever.

Is it possible to struggle with addiction and be a true Christian? 5. What does it mean to be saved? I’m confused by the past, present and future language of being saved in the Bible.
