Episode 127 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. Are there such things as guardian angels?

2. I really believe in striving to lead a holy life but the more I strive the more I realize that I can't do what I want to do. I have heard people say that we need to rely on the Holy Spirit. How do we do this? And how does our striving for holiness fit with our relying on the Holy Spirit?

3. Romans 8 says that God knows everything that will happen. How is this different or similar to predestination and how does that fit with free will?

4. Should Christian worship be evangelistic? In the great commission it says that we are supposed to make disciples by baptizing and teaching and it seems like this would happen in a church context. If this is so, how can we make our worship service work better for outreach?

5. What does Jesus mean in Luke 10 when Jesus says that he saw Satan fall like lighting from heaven. Is he talking about a time before Adam and Eve where in the garden? Can you explain the fall of Satan and what that means for us today?

6. How should I go about finding God's perfect will for my life? I know that I could do a lot of things in life, but I tend to worry that I am going to settle for something less than God's best. Thanks for any advice you have.

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. As a single mother I have a lot of stress in raising kids. At the church I attend there is a lot of pressure to send your kids to a Christian school or to home-school. I can't afford to do either. Is it a sin to send your kids to public school? Will I fail as a mom if I can't find another option?

2. In John 4 where Jesus tells the Samaritan woman that there will come a time where true worshipers will worship in Spirit and in truth does this mean that it doesn't matter where we worship? Does this mean that we don't have to go to an official church?

3. On another episode I have heard you say that the Bible is not about us and that we get too caught up with felt needs. I don't think I'm understanding you right. Are you saying that felt needs don't matter?

4. I have been taught about the Trinity. I don't understand it. It's not mentioned in the Bible. I believe in God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But why do people teach the Trinity?

Has Science Proven Christianity Wrong? Feb 14, 2019

Show notes

Episode 119 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.

Show Notes

CoreChristianity.com

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. What do you wished people understood about the Bible?

2. I grew up thinking that if I was faithful God would provide me with a good life. Yet, I know of so many Christians who are not blessed, and especially when I think of Christians in poor countries that are faithfully enduring persecution it seems like being faithful to God doesn't lead to a more blessed life. And as I read the Bible, especially the psalms it seems like even the wicked prosper. Can you explain this?

3. My question is Jesus says if you ask me anything in my name, I will do it and there are other similar quotes that come from him. But what's very difficult is even things that seem to be God's will: asking for people's salvation, asking for people will severe illnesses to be healed aren't answered. God does not answer those prayers on many occasions. So I'd love to hear your encouraging thoughts on how Christians can take hold of promises such as these without being discouraged when prayers aren't answered. Thank you and God bless you.

4. Why does the Bible call the church the bride of Christ?

5. Science teaches us that God doesn't exist. How should Christians respond to this? What evidence do we need to prove otherwise?
