Episode 176 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Why are certain groups like Mormons better at evangelism than certain protestant groups? 2. I recently read an article from the BBC about a 14 year old girl who committed suicide because of her fear that her church wouldn’t accept her as a Gay Christian. Once that information came out, her former church has since changed their stance on Gay Marriage. They now profess to be an inclusive Church, “embracing everyone, regardless of gender, race, disability or sexuality”. Was this the right response of her church? 3. I am still struggling with some of the sins that I committed when I was a new Christian, and now after being a Christian for more than 15 years it feels like I haven’t made much progress at all. How can I get past some of these sins and continue to grow? 4. What does Paul mean in 1 Corinthians when he says that the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing? 5. Does being gospel-centered mean we shouldn’t care about non-essentials like the nature of the church or baptism?

Episode 291 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com Key questions answered in today’s show: 1. Is there wisdom in reading other theologians who are outside of the Biblical view just for the sake of learning from them or should we be really hesitant or cautions to read people who are outside of the biblical view of the faith in certain things? I’m not sure if we should read to learn or generally just study what we know to be true. 2. Psalm 101 says, “Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy.” Does this apply to gossip? What exactly is slander? 3. I have heard you talk about preaching through books of the Bible like Leviticus and Hebrews. What does it mean to preach through a book? I come from a tradition that emphasizes law-gospel preaching with set readings throughout the church year. How is preaching through a book different from what I have experienced? 4. What do you think makes for good worship music? What do you think worship leaders should think about when choosing songs? 5. Romans 3:11 says no one seeks God. Should this be taken literally? If so, how should I understand people who seem to be seeking God?

Episode 523 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions. Show Notes CoreChristianity.com 1. What did Jesus mean when he told Nicodemus that he had to be born again. Nicodemus even seemed confused, and I don’t understand Jesus’ answer about the wind and Spirit. Is this just a figurative of speech to describe some profound experience in your life? 2. Are there different levels of sin? Or is all sin equal in God’s eyes? 3. Is the Bible the only authority that Christians need to obey?  4. I am struggling with knowing how to share the gospel with my unsaved family and friends because I am also seeing that my heart is hard toward situations I have been through with some of them. I truly hate this, and I don’t want to have this hardness in my heart. How can I share the gospel with them when I have such a hard heart?
