From the Show

We often think that our worship is just shaped by our theology, so what we believe determines how we are going to worship God. That’s true, but it’s also that case that the way you worship God begins to shape your beliefs.

–Adriel Sanchez

Questions in this Episode

1. Why does God say that it is an abomination to eat shellfish? I saw on Facebook that God hates shellfish. The person I’m talking about is an atheist and looks for opportunities to make the Bible look ridiculous.

2. What do we do when we find a book where the author claims to have a grasp of Christianity, but only seems to be confusing the truth? I really just want to be able to read without such an author trying to distract me. most important thing?

3. How do you really seek God with your whole heart and how do you trust him with all your understanding?

4. Has Jesus given each and every Christian authority in the sense of doing miracles? The context is a verse from a song my church sang this past week: “When I open up my mouth / miracles start breaking out / I have the authority / Jesus has given me.”
