From the Show

God hears your prayers too, and he sees everything you’re doing, even the little things. You have one of the most important jobs in the world—raising children in the Lord. I just want to say, God bless you, and God bless every mom who is seeking to faithfully love their families, raise their children in the Lord.

—Adriel Sanchez

Questions in this Episode

1. If salvation is by faith and our works have nothing to do with our salvation, won’t this make people lazy and indifferent to their spiritual progress?

2. In 2 Peter 3:8–9 it says that God is delaying judgment in the coming of Christ. I never noticed this before. Can you explain it?

3. How could Noah put all the animals of the world on the ark?

4. What advice do you have for being faithful to Jesus in the little things. I’m a stay at home mom and I love my children but a lot of my time it can feel hard being stuck in the house and watching kids and not having much adult conversation.

5. The Bible tells us that God is the same today, always, and forever? How do we say this when God came down and became a man? Doesn’t this contradict?

6. How am I supposed to know God’s will for me when everything in the Bible seems to be unrelated with my life?

Meditation as a Bridge to Prayer

Meditating upon the Law of the Lord leads us to prayer. The goal is that as you meditate, the Spirit brings conviction, thanks, praise, or some other reality up into your heart. It is with these realities in mind that you then approach God directly in prayer. In this sense, prayer is truly conversation with God, and there is much to discuss. We talk to God directly concerning the things upon which we have reflected.

Help! Saved but Still Sinning

Help! Saved but Still Sinning

Sanctification isn’t effortless. The act of dying to sin implies spiritual battle and life-long war against sin. Living unto righteousness implies costly, intensive labor that daily says “no” to sin and “yes” to Christlikeness. So what do we do when we fail yet again? How can we overcome feelings of failure, defeat, and self-loathing when we sin?

The Weight of Steadfastness

The Weight of Steadfastness

What if the discomfort we’ve avoided—the very trial we’ve begged God to remove—is the instrument our loving Father is using to bring us to completion, the place where lasting joy is found?

What Does a Protestant Vision of Spiritual Formation Look Like?

Kyle Strobel joins Michael Horton to discuss different views of spiritual formation, how pastors and theologians from church history have approached this topic, and why seasons of desolation (spiritual dryness) are meant for our good, not punishment.
