He Who Does Good Is of God (3 John 11)

September 1, 1990 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles

In his third epistle John wrote to one man, Gaius–and through him to all believers of all time. Gaius was clearly a believer (v. 2-4).

“For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” (Gal 6:8-9) A radio announcer somewhere,

Clear Gospel Tracts

July 1, 1990 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles

I have received quite a number of requests from GES News readers for clear gospel tracts. GES has not yet produced any tracts of our own. Nor do we officially endorse any. However, there are quite a few which I personally like and which I think most of our readers would as well. The following

April 1, 1990 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of
