2. What does it mean for Christians to be new creations? What exactly is new about us?

3. How can you tell if God is disciplining or judging a person? Does God judge us for our past sins even after we repent?

4. Where do I find a gospel-centered church? I think the church has gotten too seeker friendly and even in mainstream churches there is a lot of theological error. I look at statements of faith and this has been quite a while and I have given up. Most churches only have a Sunday service and I don't see much ongoing discipleship or fellowship.

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. I'm at a new church where they recite the Lord's prayer in the service. I have never been to a church that recited prayers. I would love to hear your thoughts about this.

2. Lately I've really been making the extra effort to control my lust issues. Even to the point of refusing to watch certain TV shows and deleting my Instagram. But all the girls in my youth group at church are super-hot. I'm really trying here but I feel like no matter how hard I try, there's no escaping it. What do I do?

3. I'm a devoted Christian but I don't attend church. My husband fell away and I attend church in secret. I'm really struggling with this and want to be faithful and go to church but some people have advised me that if church is going to cause problems in the home then I should be faithful at home and try to be a Christian without going to church. I know that we are not supposed to forsake the fellowship of believers, but I know that I'm also supposed to submit to my husband.

4. What is happening 1 Corinthians 5:5 when Paul tells the church to deliver a man to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved?
