It’s easy for Christians to misunderstand important parts of God’s revealed word or to skip over large sections of the Old Testament altogether. Here are three things to keep in mind when reading stories from the Old Testament.
Core Christianity was a broadcast that used a Q&A format to answer Bible and theology questions. Although they no longer have a daily broadcast, these past broadcast audio episodes from Pastor Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier, can give you valuable insight into Scriptural questions that can deepen your knowledge and understanding of God's Word.

Does God Hate Homosexuality? This is one of the most emotionally charged and culturally sensitive questions Christians face today. And for many, it feels like a dividing line between faith and compassion, truth and love. So how do we answer this question honestly, clearly, and graciously?
Rules lack the power to make people holy, but they do testify to God’s kindness, and they can be the guardrails that prevent us from falling off course as we press on to glory and to God, our exceeding joy.
These types, shadows, and ordinances in the Old Testament were about Jesus Christ and were ways that he was present with the people of God in that time.
Nature points us to praise God because it is evidence of the Lord’s power and creativity, as well as his constant care for all he has made. Surveying God’s creation humbles us and reminds us that everything in the universe ultimately belongs to him, as he is the maker and sustainer of all life. As we see proof of God’s majesty in nature, we join the psalmist in worshipping the Lord and extolling him for his goodness.
Satan wants congregations that downplay the significance of the election of church leaders, whose leaders fail to influence the church or lead it wrongly, and whose members grumble, quarrel, and fight against their leaders. For the sake of our prosperity and the honor of God, don’t give Satan what he wants. Instead, view God’s officers as gifts and revere his plan for the use of church leaders in cultivating healthy, growing, God-honoring churches.
