Can We Stop Sinning Once and For All? Jan 10, 2019

Show notes

Episode 94 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.

Show Notes

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. Who is the abomination of desolation?

2. If God is sovereign and Satan is under God's control, then why does God allow Satan to tempt us? And why does God blame us for giving into temptation if we don't have a choice?

3. Where in the Bible does it teach that hell lasts forever?

4. Why did Jesus leave the earth after his resurrection? What does it mean for Jesus to "go and prepare a place for us"? Hasn't heaven always existed?

5. As I read Galatians 5:16 it seems to promise that if we walk by the Spirit then we will no longer sin. This seems to also be confirmed in 1 John 1:6. Of course, I don't think that we will immediately learn how to walk in the Spirit all the time, but shouldn't we expect to grow in maturity to the point where we stop sinning in this life?

Should Christians Practice Spiritual Disciplines? Jan 09, 2019

Episode 93 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer caller questions.

Show Notes

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.

1. I have a question about the resurrection of the saints in Matthew 27:51–54. What does the Bible mean here?

3. If God is not the author of sin, how do you understand Isaiah 45:7 which says, "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things"?

4. In Mark 12 when Jesus teaches that in heaven there won't be marriage, that we will be like angles. This has always bothered me because I really like being married to my wife. How should I understand this? Does this mean that my wife won't be my wife in heaven?

5. What is the difference between striving to live a holy life and works righteousness? When does morality become moralism?

6. In Isaiah 55 where it says, "Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food," my question is this: How can we find more satisfaction in what God gives?

Show Notes

Key questions answered in today's show:

1. So the Bible says Jesus is the Son of God, but I don't understand how God could become a human being. Did he just take over someone's body? How did it happen?

2. Do miracles still happen? I believe that miracles happened in the ancient world, but I wonder about today? Should we still see miracles like healing, prophecy, and signs from God? Is there a reason why we don't see them in our churches today?

3. I believe all the right things and go to church every Sunday and hear about Jesus, but I am addicted to my sin. What can I do?

4. Jesus seems to suggest that if we ask whatever we want we should get it. How should we understand Jesus' words?

5. In 1 Corinthians 12:21-26 Paul says that the weaker parts of the body are indispensable. Can you explain that?
