Summary
Episode 949 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. What constitutes as a good prayer?
2. What is blasphemy, and if you blaspheme the Holy Spirit are you not also blaspheming the Father and the Son since they are one God?
3. I recently spoke to a man who actually said that he hits his wife to "chasten her." He seemed to be happy about it and he said, "well we are supposed to love our wives as Jesus loves the church and He chastens those He loves." That made me angry and so sad. I was shocked. I know he is misusing scripture for his purpose, maybe something is wrong with him. I simply said that if you beat your wife you are not a man or a Christian. What do you say to such a "man"?
4. My friend's husband is verbally and mentally abusive. I think the Bible speaks of adultery as being the only grounds for divorce so how can I help her? She has spoken with our pastor and he told her "remember your vows" and I do understand that, but I feel it's abuse even if it isn't physical and I'm worried for her.
5. How does the Bible define "election"?

| 0:59.9 | My question is, pastor, is what is a good prayer, which all prayers are good? |
| 1:06.8 | I know that, but I'm having company today to celebrate the Lord. My family and friends, |
| 1:13.1 | a lot of them don't read the Bible or really talk about the Lord. So I'm wondering if you |
| 1:19.1 | could help me. I know I'm sitting with the Holy Spirit and will find a prayer, but I'm just |
| 1:24.6 | wondering what your thoughts are. Thank you so much. God bless. |
| 1:29.3 | Yay, God bless you as well. You know, God uses the dinner table. When I first really started to |
| 1:36.4 | learn about the Christian faith and growing in my own understanding of scripture, a lot of the |
| 1:41.8 | growth came around dinner tables with other believers, with other |
