From the Show

It’s the creation that will be liberated from its bondage. I take this to mean every kind, just as God created animals according to various kinds.

—Michael Horton

Questions in this Episode

1. Can studying theology ever be bad for your spiritual well-being?

2. Can believers lose our salvation? Among my congregation I hear that people are saved and then lose their salvation and then are saved again. I don’t think God plays games with our salvation. How can it be that people are saved one moment and then not the next and then saved again?

3. How do you maintain hope in the face of all the confusion in the church today?

4. Is Romans 8 talking about the salvation of the natural world?

Christians today join the saints before them in searching the Bible to understand what exactly God promises us about the Last Days.
