The Love of Christ Compels Us (2 Corinthians 5:14)

November 12, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 2 Corinthians 5:14, the love of Christ

Pastor Allen asks, “In 2 Cor. 5:14, is the ‘love of Christ’ that compels us the love that we have for Christ or the love that Christ has for us?” Super question. Both the options he mentions are possible grammatically. But Paul explains what he means when he adds, “because we judge thus: that if

Por qué la mayoría de los calvinistas carecen de la seguridad de la salvación

November 11, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Recientemente recibí una pregunta sobre un libro escrito por un autor calvinista, Dean Inserra. Eso me llevó a buscarlo en la web, y descubrí un libro que él escribió en 2020, publicado por Moody Publishers, titulado Without a Doubt: How to Know for Certain That You’re Good with God [Sin duda: Como saber con certeza

Si es Gratuito, ¿Por Qué uno Tendría que Esforzarse por Entrar?–Lucas 13:24

November 9, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Esforzaos a entrar por la puerta angosta; porque os digo que muchos procurarán entrar, y no podrán. Este versículo nos puede resultar incómodo para los que creemos en la gratuidad del Evangelio, o al menos deberíamos estarlo a no ser que hayamos considerado cuidadosamente su significado. Después de todo, si la salvación es un regalo

The Difference between God’s Acceptance and His Approval

November 9, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 Corinthians 9:27, 2 Timothy 2:15

I grew up in a home where I knew I was loved. I was a surprise, but a good surprise. My mom turned 40 a few months after I was born. My dad was nearly 40 as well. I was the long-awaited son. Both Mom and Dad hugged and kissed me a lot. They showed

Our conference was originally scheduled for May 18-21. We moved it back five months due to Covid-19. The attendance was down. Normally we have around 200.

The Rapture in Matthew 24? Nine Proofs

November 1, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles

By Bob Wilkin Introduction Somewhere around 2000, I became convinced that in Matt 24:40-44 the Lord is teaching the pre-trib Rapture. I was influenced by conversations with Zane Hodges. Around 2005, I then heard a message defending the pre-trib Rapture in the Olivet Discourse by Dr. John Hart. In 2007-2008, we published three articles by

Recompensas Eternas y Negación de Cristo

October 30, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita

Un pastor me preguntó sobre una entrada de blog que publicamos en octubre: Hoy he leído tu blog y estoy de acuerdo con casi todo, pero me gustaría ver una referencia de las Escrituras para demostrar que, si mueres negando a Cristo, pierdes la oportunidad de comer del árbol de la vida y vestirte con

Why Most Calvinists Lack Assurance of Salvation

October 30, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - a gospel of doubt, Assurance of Salvation, John’s Gospel and assurance

I recently received a question about a book by a Calvinist author named Dean Inserra. That led to an internet search, and I came across a 2020 book by him, published by Moody Publishers, entitled Without a Doubt: How to Know for Certain That You’re Good with God. GES bought the book. Great title. Great

The Purpose of Humanity

October 28, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Creation, Genesis 1-3, purpose in life, Revelation 21-22

I received this excellent question: I loved the post about Adam and Eve. Perfect timing. I do have a question about that. Was man created to resolve the angelic conflict? We are discussing the purpose of man’s creation in our Bible class with some awesome GES members about this. I have looked up some info
