What's the appropriate way to engage my homosexual friends?

That's just one of the questions we'll be answering on today's edition of Core Christianity.

Hi, it's Bill Meyer, along with Pastor Adriel Sanchez, and this is the radio program where we answer your questions about the Bible and the Christian life every day.

Our phone lines are open, and we'll be taking your calls for the next 25 minutes or so.

Here's the phone number. It's 833 The Core. That's 1833-843-243-2673.

Also want to mention we have a YouTube channel. You can actually watch Adriel live in the

studio at 11.30 a.m. Pacific time every weekday and send him your question through the YouTube channel.

And of course, if you want to use the old-fashioned way, carry your pigeon. No, actually, we have an email

address, and that is Questions at Core Christianity.com.

I guess they could use carrier pigeon, huh? I would love to get a message that way. We would be sure to,

you know, do that one on the air. As long as the pigeon doesn't do something on your desk there,

that would not be good. Hey, let's get to a voicemail from one of our listeners.

This one came in earlier this week from Linda.

My question is, my dad was a devout Christian, and yet he suffered many, many losses,

the loss of a child.

He was struck with type 1 diabetes during World War II.

Then he was struck with Parkinson's disease.

And then he had a wife that left him, took the children.

And then my mother was very abusive to him and I just want to know he prayed

and prayed and he was a devout Christian his whole life and why did he have to suffer

so much and have so much suffering and evil happen to him. Okay, thank you.

Yeah, Linda, sounds like he, despite his faith in Jesus and his commitment to follow the Lord, had a lot of trials in his life.
