Kiedy sprawiedliwy zawodzi (2 Tymoteusza 4:10)

August 4, 2025 by Ken Yates in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi - 2 Piotra 2:20-22, 2 Tymoteusza 4:10, Demas, Przypowieści, Przypowieści 25:25-26

Wiele osób w dzisiejszych kościołach wierzy, że prawdziwy wierzący nie może upaść moralnie, a przynajmniej nie zbyt poważnie. Jeśli taka osoba „odpada” na dłuższy czas, według ich teologii oznacza to, że jest fałszywym wyznawcą i nigdy wcześniej nie była zbawiona i nigdy nie miała życia wiecznego. Ci, którzy rozumieją łaskę Bożą, wiedzą, że taka teologia

We Are Pessimistic Optimists

I saw a funny cartoon recently. I am not familiar with the author’s religious beliefs, but the work conveys some theological truths. A man is walking down the sidewalk with a sign that says, “The End Is Near.” Another man with another sign follows him. It reads, “This Will Never End.” The second man says

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) is the strongest college football conference in the United States. The national champion often comes from the SEC. Teams like Alabama and Georgia are repeat champions. Vanderbilt University is a part of the SEC. It is not known for its football prowess. Its fame is in academics. As you might guess,

Looking Stupid as You Learn

When I first joined the Army, I was, without a doubt, the dumbest guy in the unit when it came to the Army. I had spent some time in the Air Force, but this was a totally different animal. I was the butt of many jokes. I asked a lot of questions that elicited laughter

Cztery bardzo skuteczne kobiety-rolniczki (Łukasza 8:8)

W Ewangelii Łukasza 8:4-15 jest przedstawiona wersja przypowieści o czterech rodzajach gleby. Większość czytelników tego bloga zna tę przypowieść nauczaną przez Pana Jezusa Chrystusa. Jedna z różnic między wersją z Łukasza a wersją z Marka znajduje się w Łukasza 8:8. Marek mówi, że dobra gleba wydaje plon trzydziestokrotny, sześćdziesięciokrotny lub stukrotny (Marka 4:8). Łukasz mówi

Reaching Out to Pagan Soldiers

The movie Risen is about a Roman tribune under Pontius Pilate. It presents a fictional account of a Roman soldier who comes to faith after witnessing the death and resurrection of Christ. I like the movie. It is generally faithful to the Gospel accounts of Christ’s death and resurrection. All the movie’s main characters are

The Danger of Peer Groups (Galatians 2:12)

July 22, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - Acts 10, Gal 2:12

There is no sweeter group of people than elderly women. This is especially true of believers. When you think of a nice person in your church, you probably picture an older Christian woman. That’s my experience. But there’s an exception to this general rule: When elderly women get together in a swimming pool, they become

A Great Bookmark

The Gospel of John is the only book written specifically for unbelievers, instructing them on how to receive eternal life. That is the purpose of the book (John 20:30-31). Eternal life is given to the one who believes in Jesus for it. It is a life they can never lose. This teaching is not common

For eight months during World War II, Nazi Germany bombed London, England in an attempt to conquer the nation. There are many photos of the devastation. The people of London had to spend long periods in the subways beneath the city for protection. Food and water were scarce. Many people lost their lives. Most of

Teaching Sunday School

July 14, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - John, Sunday school, teaching

Most of our churches could use more teachers. Often, the members of a church consider teaching to be the responsibility of the pastor, deacons, and elders. But in at least some cases, we need to be training others to serve as teachers. Unfortunately, potential teachers often look at this prospect with fear and trembling. That
