Should Christians Practice Spiritual Disciplines?
Episode 93 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. I didn’t grow up Christian and through the help of some friends, I have come to believe that salvation is all of grace and not based on our works because of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. But I have this question: If the gospel is about what Jesus has done, and has nothing to do with us, then why should we bother doing good works? 2. Will there be a future mass salvation of the Jewish people? 3. Where do you see Satan most visibly active today? 4. In John 16:25, Jesus said, “I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father.” After saying this his disciples respond surprised because Jesus had finally spoken clearly to them. How should this influence the way we interpret Jesus in other places? 5. Is it a sin to doubt that God exists? 6. How can I get over the fear of death? This especially troubles me when I think about people who have given their life bearing witness to Jesus.

What Does the Bible Say About Justice?
Episode 210 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Should Christians evangelize even if they don’t fully understand the gospel or important doctrines or should they wait until they are taught first? 2. Why did the apostles say, “Jesus is Lord” and not “Jesus is God”? 3. Psalm 101 begins, “I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will make music.” It strikes me how often the Bible celebrates justice and yet when I think about justice it reminds me of prisons, judges and lawyers. What is the Bible’s view of justice? And how is it different or similar to ideas of justice in our cultural context? 4. I know that in the Bible God promises to have wonderful plans for our lives, but I don’t feel like I’m walking in God’s blessing. Maybe it’s because I have weak faith or that God is dealing with sin in my life. Can you help? 5. Does the office of deacon serve the church or the outside world or both?
