Key questions answered in today's show:

1. How is a person really saved? I hear preachers tell others to say a prayer, receive Christ into your heart, and then God will save you, and I don't find any of that in the Scriptures. Could you help me out and show me where they get that from? When God saved me I didn't do any of that. He just let me know I needed a savior and I surrendered to that tugging and pulling of the Holy Spirit on my heart. So, I don't know, help me with that so I won't lead people astray or be led astray myself.

2. In view of Black Lives Matter, what is the Biblical relationship between justice and justification?

3. Does how I vote matter, religiously? Does God care if I vote one way or the other? Does it matter what my reasons for voting are? Does the Bible say anything that can be applied to the topic of voting?

4. I appreciate how you distinguish between the law and the gospel on your show. I'm wondering if there are ways that we think and speak that support law rather than gospel. I blanch at taking on the mindset that within Christendom, everywhere I look there's duties, callings, and obligations. Am I being too sensitive here?
