The Video Camera Adds Ten Pounds 

June 30, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - “Implanted Word”, 2 Cor 3:12-18, spiritual growth
In 2 Cor 3:12-18, Paul gives a key to spiritual growth. Such growth can occur only if the believer looks at Christ and is transformed into His image by the Holy Spirit. We see Christ in the words of Scripture. These inspired writings reveal Him to us and show us how we should live. But

Continually: A Sad but Funny Word 

June 26, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1 John 3:9, hypocrisy, Lust, Matt 5:28, pride
We have all heard people misinterpret 1 John 3:9a. The verse says, “Whoever has been born of God does not sin…” Many Bible teachers add the word continually. A believer, they maintain, can sin, but not continually. You can sin a little, but not too much. A person who is genuinely a Christian does not

Hawking the Scriptures in the Marketplace 

June 24, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - 2 Cor 2:17, Isa 1:22, Missions, sincerity, teaching
Many foreign countries have marketplaces. Shoppers in these marketplaces need to stay on their toes because many of the merchants use all kinds of tricks to sell their wares. Buyers make offers and merchants make counteroffers. The sellers will tell the buyers what they want to hear, but the truth is that the merchandise often

Wieczne nagrody w Starym Testamencie

June 23, 2025 by Ken Yates in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi - 1 Koryntian 4:5, 2 Koryntian 5:10, Kaznodziei 12:13-14, Łukasza 8:17, Objawienie 22:12, Salomon
Jednym z akcentów teologii wolnej łaski jest doktryna wiecznych nagród. Pismo Święte wyraźnie i jasno naucza, że każdy kto uwierzy w Pana Jezusa Chrystusa będzie żył z Chrystusem na zawsze, niektórzy wierzący będą mieli większy zaszczyt i przywileje w królestwie, na podstawie tego, co zrobili po uwierzeniu w Pana Jezusa Chrystusa dla życia wiecznego. Większość

Our Freedom Is Easy 

June 19, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - John 8:36, Rom 6:10-13, Sanctification, Sin, Slavery
An iconic photo taken during the Civil War shows a black man who has come to be known as “Whipped Peter” (his name was originally Gordon). The photo shows his back, heavily scarred from the whippings he received as a slave. The abolitionist movement used the photo to raise public sympathy and support for their

More Than Just Showing Up (2 Cor 5:10)

June 17, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - Bema, John 5:22, rewards
One of the verses most commonly quoted by grace people is 2 Cor 5:10, in which Paul says that all believers must appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ. There, each believer will either be rewarded for good works or have those rewards withheld because of bad works. It is understandable that this verse is

Plaća grijeha

June 11, 2025 by Ken Yates in Milost u Fokusu - Ivan 3:16; 5:24, Izreke, Izreke 28:1, Jakovljeva 1:13-15, Rimljanima 6:23
Pažljivi učitelji Božje riječi su mi ukazali na pogubne posljedice grijeha. Većina evanđeoskih kršćana kaže da grijesi šalju osobu u ognjeno jezero. To nije istina. Osoba koja završi u ognjenom jezeru je tamo zato što nije vjerovala u Isusa za vječni život (Ivan 3:16; 5:24). Ipak, grijeh je vrlo ozbiljna stvar. Naši grijesi mogu uzrokovati

Attacked by a Bear 

June 10, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1 Sam 16:11-13, 1 Sam 17:1-51, David, Goliath, Sanctification
My brother-in-law lives out in the country in Kentucky. One night, he heard a noise on his porch. Armed with a gun, he went out and confronted a bear. The bear charged him. As my brother-in-law ran back toward the front door, he fired behind him before running into his house. The bullet struck the

Plata păcatului

June 9, 2025 by Ken Yates in Har Gratuit: Păstrează harul în centrul atenției
Studenți atenți la Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu mi-au atras atenția asupra consecințelor mortale ale păcatului. Majoritatea evanghelicilor afirmă că păcatele trimit o persoană în iazul de foc. Dar acest lucru nu este adevărat. O persoană este trimisă în iazul de foc pentru că nu a crezut în Isus pentru viața veșnică (Ioan 3:16; 5:24). Totuși, păcatul

罪的工价

June 9, 2025 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 5:24, 箴28:1, 箴言, 约3:16, 罗6:23, 雅1:13-15
细心研读上帝话语的学者们曾向我指出罪的致命后果。大多数福音派人士认为,罪会使人坠入火湖。这种说法并不准确。一个人被投入火湖,根本原因在于他们不信耶稣能赐永生(约3:16;5:24)。然而,罪的严重性不容忽视——它足以招致死亡(罗6:23;雅1:13-15)。 这里的“死亡”可指肉体的消亡,但其影响远不止于此。我们的罪会引发疾病,总会带来混乱、属灵生命的枯竭、上帝的管教以及永恒奖赏的丧失。罪所触及的一切,皆遭毁灭。鲍勃·威尔金(Bob Wilkin)曾用二十一点赌局的发牌手作比喻:当我们犯罪时,就像对发牌人说“再给我一张牌”,而对方回应:“当然!这张是死亡之牌。” 恩典福音协会(GES)的同道们对此类圣经教导应当并不陌生。最近,我注意到罪还会以另一种方式向我们发放“死亡之牌”——这再次印证了罪在今生带来的负面连锁反应。我们或许潜意识里有所察觉,却少有直言。 《箴言》28:1写道:“恶人虽无人追赶也逃跑,义人却胆壮如狮子。”此处的“恶人”与“义人”并非分别指不信者与信徒,而是指不同的生活方式——信徒既可能活出恶,也可能活出义。 经文指出,行恶之人即便无人追捕也会逃窜。为何如此?因为良心有愧。他惧怕恶行败露,终日疑神疑鬼,活在恐惧中,夜不能寐,时刻提防有人窥破其隐秘勾当。 试想一位深陷奸淫的基督徒领袖,会时常怀疑:妻子会发觉吗?手机里会留下证据被家人看到吗?情妇的丈夫会察觉吗?这事将如何摧毁他的声誉、职业?离婚的代价有多大? 这种状态对健康的摧残堪称致命。若涉及他人丈夫,甚至可能招致杀身之祸!奸淫绝非唯一带来恶果的罪,世间遍布着各类“致命”陷阱。 而活出义的信徒则全无此类困扰。他们可以如狮子般昂首而行,无所畏惧。狮子不会因真实或假想的敌人退缩,这个比喻正是描述清白良心带来的坦然——不必回头张望,不必担心愤怒的配偶揭穿自己的罪行。 电视里的狮子总在安睡,这恰是义人生命安宁的写照。狮子毫无惧怕,信徒的永生也永不失落。但罪却能在当下引发无数祸患,其中就包括良心的谴责。即便罪行今生未被揭穿,仅这份愧疚感已远超过犯罪所得的“报酬”。 我宁愿作一头随处安卧、安然入眠的狮子。
