May 20, 2025 by Ken Yates in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya

Ipinakita ng Lukas 8:4-15 ang bersiyon ni Lukas ng talinhaga ng apat na lupa. Karamihan sa mga mambabasa ng blog na ito ang pamilyar sa talinhagang tinuro ng Panginoon. Isa sa pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng bersiyon ni Lukas at ng bersiyon ni Marcos ay makikita sa Lukas 8:8. Sinabi ni Marcos na ang lupa ay

Luca 8:4-15 presenta la versione di Luca della parabola del seminatore e i diversi terreni. La maggior parte dei lettori di questo blog conosce questa parabola insegnata dal Signore. Una delle differenze tra la versione di Luca e quella di Marco si trova in Luca 8:8. Marco dichiara che un buon terreno produce un raccolto

Many argue that Muhammad Ali was the greatest heavyweight boxing champion ever. I remember as a young man watching him train for his bouts. It was brutal. He needed to go through such ordeals because of the beatings he took in the ring. But I still wondered how he endured such suffering. Once, in speaking

One of the most popular movies of 1999 was The Sixth Sense. It was not a theologically correct movie, as it told a story about a nine-year-old boy who could see and talk with the dead. The boy’s statement to a psychiatrist trying to help him is the key to understanding what happens. He says

If you’ve ever watched a Little League baseball game, there’s always a guy on the bench waiting to play. He wants to hear the coach say, “Billy, get in the game.” No doubt he is nervous, but he’s thrilled when he hears those words. Babe Ruth was one of the greatest baseball players ever. For

Learning More about Christ (Luke 9:10-17)

The disciples knew that Jesus was the Christ. They believed in Him for eternal life. They proclaimed these truths throughout Galilee after Jesus sent them out to preach and gave them the power to perform miracles. The miracles they did showed that the message they preached was the truth (Luke 9:1-6). But the disciples still

He Has Forgiven All Our Trespasses (Colossians 2:13)

May 1, 2025 by Ken Yates in Grace in Focus Articles

By Ken Yates INTRODUCTION It is common to hear believers say that Jesus has forgiven them of all their sins. They will often explain that this means their past, present, and future sins were washed away when they believed in Christ for eternal life. Those well-read in Christian literature will describe this as “positional” forgiveness.

By Ken Yates INTRODUCTION Almost all of us have heard a story or two about “Johnny in Sunday school.” Such stories usually involve the teacher’s asking little Johnny a Bible question, which he answers innocently and incorrectly. His answer is the punchline of a joke. One such story relates the teacher’s asking Johnny, “What is

Ben Shapiro and Assurance

Ben Shapiro is a conservative political commentator. He is an orthodox Jew and takes his religious faith seriously. As a result, many on the left wing of the political spectrum have made him a target. They defame him regularly. He has often been in physical danger. Shapiro is impressive. He has a brilliant mind and

Simon the Magician’s Repentance (Acts 8:24)

April 24, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - Acts 8: 24, Acts 8:13, Samaria, Simon

Simon, a sorcerer in Samaria, is a fascinating character in Acts. I don’t think anybody in church history has been maligned as badly as this man. Even though the text says he was a believer, theologians of many stripes have been determined to see him cast into the lake of fire. Even some believing theologians
