From the Show

As a minister of the gospel, I do not have the authority to bind your conscience on an issue that is not taught in the scriptures. I minister the Word of God and God’s word is ultimate, yes. But I don’t have the right to make up rules for other Christians. For example, if I said, “you have to vote for this candidate or you’re not a Christian,” I would be overstepping my ministerial bounds.

–Adriel Sanchez

Questions in this Episode

  1. 1. Can we take communion at home, and are we meant to do this once a week?

2. Is there a biblical mandate to be a single-issue voter? It seems that neither political party cares about all image bearers and we end up having to choose between one or the other.

3. I know I should forgive, but how do I forgive? What is that process like?

4. Based on Matthew 6:15, is the forgiveness of our sins conditional on whether we forgive others?
