Lessons from My New Year’s Day Marathon

January 8, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 2 Timothy 2:12, 2 Timothy 4:6-8, finishing the race, The Christian race

I thought it would be a good way to begin 2021 by race-walking a marathon (26.2 miles). I trained for it for about 6 months. I had finished seven marathons previously, from 1998 to 2019. This marathon was different in several major ways. First, because of Covid-19, I was not sure that we would actually

O que se segue é uma adaptação de uma seção do capítulo 1 do meu livro A Gospel of Doubt, uma resposta ao livro O Evangelho Segundo Jesus, do Dr. John MacArthur. O primeiro capítulo da terceira edição de O Evangelho Segundo Jesus, de John MacArthur, é intitulado “Siga-me”. É um novo capítulo que não

Tribulation Believers and the Mark of the Beast

January 5, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Perseverance of the Saints, Revelation 13:17, Revelation 14:9-12, the mark of the beast

P. N. raises a very challenging issue: So…I think it’s wrong to tell people that if they’re saved, they won’t do this or that (such as commit sin). I think that is works based salvation and I publicly tell people that’s wrong. But there is one area where things become inconsistent. Because I think believers

The Link Between Believing in Jesus for Everlasting Life and Believing that We Are Sinners

January 4, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - John 16:7-11, John 3:1-18, Sin and salvation

Dick read my recent blog entitled “How to Share Our Faith Clearly and Comfortably by Evangelizing the Way Jesus Evangelized” (see here). That led him to ask this question: Thank you for your ministry, which I have found helpful and encouraging. I do have a question for you, however, centering around the word believe in

Begging Jesus for the Right Reasons (Mark 5:1-20)

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

By Bob Wilkin The Scriptures invite both believers and unbelievers to petition God. Matthew 7:7-12 and the Lord’s calls to ask, seek, and knock are prime examples. In Scripture, we often find that people do not ask for the right reasons or ask for the wrong things. The account of the Lord casting out thousands

Confiando na morte e ressurreição de Cristo, mas sem garantia

December 31, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Graça sem limites - Efésios 2:8-9, João 3:16, João 6:28-29, João 6:47

A pergunta que estou compartilhando hoje é uma que muitas pessoas têm. O que faz uma pessoa que confia na morte e ressurreição de Cristo, mas não tem segurança? Lauri escreve: Fui criado em um lar cristão por dois lindos pais cristãos. Fui “salvo” com 6 anos de idade, mas comecei a duvidar da minha

Some Sins Are Worse Than Others

December 28, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - consequences for our sins, Hierarchy of sins

Bob G. commented on a recent blog by me: Interesting. A similar reasoning might be helpful in the consideration of Jephthah and his daughter.  It is plainly wrong to vow to the LORD and not pay—but it is arguably more wrong (is that a thing?) to offer a child as a burnt offering for the

Um leopardo pode mudar suas manchas? Segurança Eterna e os Limites do Livre Arbítrio

December 24, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Graça sem limites

Um amigo me enviou esta pergunta de segunda mão: “Se Deus deseja que sempre tenhamos livre arbítrio, por que Ele não permitiria que devolvêssemos o dom gratuito da vida eterna se assim o desejássemos?” Esta é uma objeção comum. Também me disseram que embora ninguém possa nos arrebatar das mãos de Jesus (João 10:28) ou

Jesus Is Not Just a Good Man (Mark 6:14-29)

December 24, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Herod Antipas, Mark 6:14-29, peer pressure, the death of John the Baptist

If you have shared your faith with people, you know that some people think that Jesus was just a good man. They may even think that He was the best of men. But they do not believe that He is the Messiah, the long-promised Savior of the world, God in the flesh, and the King
