Episode 454 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Key questions answered in today’s show:
1. The San Diego Union Tribune reported that churches will now be allowed to hold drive in services. Now that congregations are able to physically gather in this limited way, how would you advice church leaderships to utilize this method of gathering effectively and should the church administer the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper during this time especially in the light of social distancing and the specific order of refraining from “direct or indirect physical touch with others?”
2. What sort of music should be played in church?
3. When praying, say for a healing from God, should a person thank God for that specific healing as if it has already happened? What if God chooses not to heal? Thank you.
4. Will my mom with dementia go to heaven?
