From the Show

Satan wants to convince the people of God that they’ve done something that will keep God from loving them. And if he can convince us of that, we’ll never draw near to the Lord. We’ll never go to church. We’ll say, “what’s the point?” But even though there are ways in which we do defile our bodies, this doesn’t mean that we are cursed forever. Even with these broken bodies that we have, God still pours out his grace on us.

–Adriel Sanchez

I’ve Come to Christ After Getting a Sex-Change. What Should I Do?

Questions in this Episode

  1. Is it ok for Christians to model professionally?
  2. I can’t imagine singing worship songs for all eternity. Honestly, it seems boring. Is that wrong of me to think?
  3. I wrote to you a few months ago about having had a sex change and you gave me hope in Christ. But now I read in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 that our bodies are “the temple of God,” and to defile it is cause for destruction of the body. Does this mean that I will be destroyed, body and my soul? I have tried to live continuously for the Lord since being converted, but what does it matter if I live, pray, and obey the Lord if I’m going to hell?
  4. Does the Bible specify an age for adulthood?
  5. Is the COVID vaccine an issue of morality or Christian liberty?

Why Poor Stewardship of the Body Can Be an Act of Unfaithfulness

The beautiful thing about this [sixth commandment] requirement is that it highlights that God cares about you. He cares about your body. He knows you’re made of dust. He knows that we need a good night of rest. We don’t have to feel guilty for getting it. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead shows […]
