Why I Like, “I Believe”, the Amazon Prime Movie 

May 1, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Wilford Brimley preaches Jesus Christ
Sharon told me about the movie and suggested we watch it. Amazon Prime members can watch the movie at no added cost. The trailer for the movie sounds like a Focused Free Grace presentation: The pastor asks the boy, “Do you believe in Jesus?” The boy responds, “Yes, I believe.” You can see the trailer

Are Eternal Rewards Secure? Part 1

May 1, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles
By Bob Wilkin Jeff raises a great question: Do you think a believer earns a reward each time he does a good deed in Jesus’ name (or to honor God). In other words, as he lives each day, does he lay up gold, silver, and precious stones in heaven for the good he does? But

Strive to Enter the Kingdom? Matthew 7:13-14

May 1, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles
By Bob Wilkin A reader sent in this question: Hello. Thanks for your articles. I genuinely believe in salvation by faith alone, by trusting in Jesus Christ as God and His atoning death/blood for the forgiveness of sins. However, one Scripture that has always confused me is Matthew 7:13-14. What does Jesus mean when He

What Is the Difference Between Trusting God and Believing Him?  

April 29, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Trust versus believe
Yesterday at church, we sang the song “Trust and Obey.” That led to this blog. Is trust and obey the same as believe and obey? When we believe God, we are persuaded or convinced that what He said is true. Joshua and Caleb believed God when He promised to give Israel the land of Canaan

Which World Do We Love? 

April 26, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - loving His appearing, Loving this present world
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give

What Three Words Are Essential in Evangelism?

April 24, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Simplified evangelism
I remember reading an article entitled “One Verse Evangelism.” The author suggested sticking to one verse, as reading many verses can be overwhelming and confusing. I took a course on salvation from Dr. Charles Ryrie. At the start of one class, he said, “You’ve come to the scene of a car accident. You get out,

“I Hate GES” 

April 22, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - suffering for the Lord
I recently received a four-page handwritten letter from a friend and GES partner. After greeting me, he wrote, “I hate GES.” I thought, “What does he mean? Have I offended him? Did I do something wrong?” He explained that his grandson had said that to him. He was shocked since he loves GES, and his

The Dora Lake Story 

April 19, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - evangelism
I spoke at a church pastored by Dan Adams in Dora Lake, MN, about twenty years ago. In 2012, I received a book from Ralph “Yankee” Arnold entitled The Dora Lake Story. In that book, he talks about how many people in that small town came to faith in Christ when he was preaching there

《圣经》里有人问过上帝永生的事吗?

April 17, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 完全的堕落, 寻求上帝
有些基督教传统认为,上帝不听不信者的祷告。但《圣经》中不是有人向上帝祈求永生,并因此信了基督获得重生吗? 对《圣经》的简单考察表明,上帝确实垂听了不信之人的祷告,而且有许多不信之人向上帝祈求永生。让我们来看五个例子。 腓立比的狱警(《徒》16:30-31)。他可能是最有名的例子。他问道:“我必须做什么才可以得救?”虽然他没有直接问上帝,但他问了上帝的使者,使徒保罗。他得到了回答:“当信主耶稣基督,你就必得救。”他明白并相信了。虽然这与某些基督教传统相悖,但不可否认,这正是《圣经》的教导。 撒玛利亚的妇人(《约》4:1-26)。她与主耶稣基督进行了反复的对话。有一次,主耶稣邀请她向祂要活水,也就是救恩的信息(《约》4:10)。最终,她照做了(《约》4:25),主也回应了她的请求(《约》4:26)。她不仅信了主,还走到村子里向人们传福音(《约》4:29-30,42)。 埃塞俄比亚的太监(《徒》8:26-38)。圣灵差遣传道人腓利去接近一位有权柄的人,他在耶路撒冷做礼拜后正返回非洲。他正在读《以赛亚书》当中的一卷。腓利问道:“你明白你所念的吗?”他说:“没人指教我,怎么能明白呢?”于是“他请腓力上车,与他同坐。”他给腓力看他读的经文,《赛》53:7-8。然后他问腓力,先知说的是 “指他自己,还是别人?”这个有权柄的人信了基督,并接受了腓利的洗礼。 哥尼流(《徒》10:1-48)。哥尼流是一个敬畏上帝的外邦人。他在凯撒利亚当地的会堂敬拜上帝。他“慷慨地施舍给百姓(犹太人),常常向上帝祷告”。大约第九时辰(原文为下午3点左右),上帝的一位天使向他显现,让他派人去约帕找西门彼得(《徒》10:5)。他告诉哥尼流,彼得会“将你和你全家都要得救的话告诉你”(《徒》11:14)。彼得来了,带领哥尼流和他的全家信了基督。神回应了他积极的祷告生活。 马其顿人(《徒》16:9)。使徒保罗在夜间看到了异象。他看到一个马其顿人“恳求他说:ʻ请你过来,到马其顿来帮助我们ʼ”。结果,包括吕底亚和腓立比狱警在内的许多欧洲人都信了基督,并获得了重生。如果这是一个真实的人——这似乎很有可能——那么他也听到、相信并得救了。 使徒保罗说,神赐给外邦人“摸索祂,寻找祂(《徒》17:27)”i。主耶稣邀请人们去寻问、去寻求、去叩门(《马》7:7-11)。《希伯来书》的作者说,上帝赏赐殷勤寻求祂的人。 是的,《圣经》中的一些人物确实曾向上帝寻求永生。我们应该鼓励那些我们所见证的人去寻问上帝,单靠信心的简单信息是否真实。邀请他们阅读《约翰福音》,求神引导他们明白永生的应许。   i 许多人误解了《罗马书》3:11,该节暗指《诗篇》14:1-13 和《传道书》7:20。没有人可以脱离神的吸引而寻求神。如果神没有吸引每一个人(《约》16:7-11),那么就不会有人寻求神。但《圣经》中也有信徒和非信徒寻求神的例子。《罗马书》3:11 并不是一个绝对的陈述。莫斯在对《罗马书》的注释中写道:“《圣经》教导说,是上帝采取主动。是祂寻找我们,而不是我们寻找祂”(第 109 页)。 ___ 鲍勃·威尔金(Bob Wilkin)(达拉斯神学院神学硕士,博士)恩典福音派协会(Grace Evangelical Society)创始人及执行主任,聚焦恩典电台(Grace in Focus Radio)联合主持人。他同妻子莎伦(Sharon)住在德州高地村(Highland Village, TX)。鲍勃最新的书有《在一百节经文中的“单凭信心”(暂译)》(Faith Alone in One Hundred Verses)和《回转来活:悔改的力量(暂译)》(Turn and Live: The Power of Repentance)。

Why Did Paul Compare the Christian Life to a Fight? 

April 15, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Fighting in the Christian life
Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air (1 Cor 9:26, emphasis added). Fight the good fight of faith… (1 Tim 6:12, emphasis added). I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for
