Posted in Book Reviews

Without a Doubt: How to Know for Certain That You’re Good with God. By Dean Inserra. Chicago, IL: Moody Publishers, 2020. 79 pp. Paper, $7.99. Great title. Great subtitle. But then I read the book.

The Unsaved Christian: Reaching Cultural Christianity with the Gospel. By Dean Inserra. Chicago, IL: Moody Publishers, 2019. 203 pp. Paper, $14.99.

Works Salvation Does Not Work

March 1, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles

By Bob Wilkin The Reformers argued that the message of Rome would not save. Most Protestants argued that way until the middle of the twentieth century. Billy Graham started putting Roman Catholics on the podium with him. The result was that around 1955 Fundamentalists rejected the message and ministry of Billy Graham. Even though Evangelicals

“El que en mí no permanece, será echado fuera como pámpano, y se secará; y los recogen, y los echan en el fuego, y arden” (Juan 15:6). En esta sección del Discurso del Aposento Alto (15:1-8), Jesús ilustra el discipulado metafóricamente comparándolo con el cultivo de las uvas. Jesús se presenta a sí mismo como

The Significance of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper

February 26, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 Cor 11:26, Baptism, the Lord’s Supper

For some people in Christianity, baptism and the Lord’s Supper have lost their meaning. When babies are baptized, as they are in many groups (Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Reformed, Lutheran), they are not confessing anything. The parents are promising to raise the child in the Christian faith; the one baptized has no say in the

Se você compartilhou sua fé com as pessoas, sabe que algumas pessoas pensam que Jesus era apenas um homem bom. Eles podem até pensar que Ele era o melhor dos homens. Mas eles não acreditam que Ele é o Messias, o Salvador do mundo há muito prometido, Deus na carne e o Rei de Israel.

El entendimiento de lo que significa seguir a Jesús según el Nuevo Testamento

February 22, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Un amigo me envió algunos comentarios y me preguntó mi opinión acerca de ellos. Me interesa tu opinión. Estoy tratando de elaborar una respuesta razonable al concepto de “seguir a Jesús para ser salvo.” He notado una cosa: Las únicas ocasiones cuando se les dice a las personas que sigan a Cristo son cuando Él

La Fe y los Sentimientos

February 19, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

En nuestra cultura postmoderna se ha vuelto cada vez más popular hablar de la fe en Cristo como un encuentro personal con Él. Muchos pastores y teólogos dicen que la fe es personal, no proposicional. ¿Cómo uno se siente durante un encuentro personal con Jesús? Es allí dónde ponen su confianza muchos de los llamados
