恩典的力量

November 5, 2024 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 《提摩太后书》2:13, 恩典, 杰克·迪尔(Jack Deere), 确信
我不确定我是否见过他,但我就读的神学院的这位教授让我着迷。他叫杰克·迪尔。他在《旧约》系任教。我知道这是一种刻板印象,但在我看来,《旧约》学者是所有《圣经》教师中最坚韧克己的人。在我看来,他们总是比其他人更学术化,更不容易感情用事。他们让我想起很久以前一个节目中的警探,他有一句著名的台词: “只说事实,先生。” 当我得知迪尔要离开神学院是因为他开始相信 “神迹奇事 ”时,我感到非常惊讶。据我所知,他加入的这场运动异常情绪化。这场运动采用了灵恩派运动的许多过激行为。相信赶鬼、说方言、接受预言和神奇的医治。几乎所有人都在这场运动中宣扬行为的福音。信徒必须行善,才能保住他们永恒的救恩。我怎么也想不通,达拉斯神学院一位性格坚韧、勤奋好学的《旧约》系教授会是这样一个团体的成员。达拉斯神学院拒绝接受所有这些东西。他显然是掉进了错误教导的巢穴。 我没有关注迪尔在离开神学院之后的职业生涯。我偶尔会听到他以前的学生谈起他的所作所为。我听说他已经陷入了他所信奉的运动中的一些极端和非正统的教义之中。他相信一些事情,比如上帝正用可以听见的声音对不同的人说话。每次听到这样的报道,我都只是摇摇头就走开了,我无法理解迪尔是如何走到这一步的。 最近,我读到了迪尔为宣传他的新书而进行的一次采访。这本书描述了他的一生。在书中,他谈到了他所经历的困难。这些困难是我所不知道的。他讲述了多年前他父亲自杀给他带来的痛苦和创伤。这对他的影响从幼年就开始了。 但他的生活中还发生过其他毁灭性事件。他的妻子酗酒数十年。妻子的疾病对他们的家庭造成了严重破坏,几乎要了她的命。他有一个儿子是个瘾君子,吸毒后结束了自己的生命。迪尔对自己的挣扎非常坦诚。 在谈到他的父亲时,迪尔曾写道,他期待着在国里见到他的父亲。很显然,在他父亲去世几十年后,他仍然想念父亲。在采访中,他说有人写信给他告诉他,他的父亲不会在天国里。迪尔不会在那里见到他,因为任何自杀的人都会被关进火湖。这意味着他的儿子也会在火湖当中。 这样的评论并不让我感到惊讶。绝大多数参与“神迹奇事”运动的人都持这种观点。他们认为,救恩是可以失去的,自杀的人犯了很大的罪,无法悔改。 迪尔对这些评论的回应让我感到惊喜。虽然他已经花了数年时间参与那场运动,甚至还写了书来支持该运动。但他说他父亲是个信徒。我不知道他的父亲相信什么,但迪尔说,每个信徒都有永远不会失去的永生。他父亲自杀的事实并不能改变这一点。迪尔说,主的恩典确保他确实会在天国里见到他的父亲。 我不得不说:”哇!” 我不知道迪尔怎么能持有这样一个《圣经》信仰,同时又在一个否认这一信仰的运动中担任领导者。这也让我看到了基督的恩典。尽管迪尔接受了这么多奇怪的信仰内容和做法,但他知道自己拥有永生。 他让我着迷。我不理解他。但是,即使我们拒绝了合理的教导,但如果我们相信耶稣会赐予我们永生,那么这份礼物就是我们的。没有什么能改变这一点。这就是主对我们的恩典(《提摩太后书》 2:13)。

They Won’t Be Remembered (Isaiah 65:17) 

November 4, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Isa 65:17, Kingdom, rewards, Rom 8:18, Suffering
The book of Isaiah begins on a bleak note. In Isaiah 1–6, the prophet speaks of Jerusalem as a bloody city with corrupt leaders. The poor and defenseless are oppressed. Isaiah is commissioned to go and tell them to repent of their sins. But Isaiah is told that even though he will appeal to them

What’s in a Word? Jesus and the Holocaust

November 1, 2024 by Ken Yates in Grace in Focus Articles
By Ken Yates INTRODUCTION It is fascinating to study how the meanings of words develop and how different languages use a word. Recently, I heard a Spanish speaker use a word over and over again in a sermon. It was a word with which I was unfamiliar. At first, I thought he was saying causto.

Mirrors Can Be Deceptive

November 1, 2024 by Ken Yates in Grace in Focus Articles
By Ken Yates INTRODUCTION When I was a boy, I was really thin. In fact, some called me “Skinny Kenny.” The nickname didn’t bother me because it was never said in a mean way. It was simply stating a fact. There were times, however, when I did not like being skinny. Back then, some advertisements

Сила благодати

October 31, 2024 by Ken Yates in Бесплатный дар благодати - 2 Тим 2:13, Благодать, Джек Дир, Уверенность во спасении
Не уверен, что я когда-либо встречался с ним лично, но меня поразил один преподаватель в моей семинарии. Его звали Джек Дир (англ. Jack Deere). Он преподавал на кафедре Ветхого Завета. Я понимаю, что это стереотип, однако в моем понимании учёные, изучающие Ветхий Завет, наиболее стойкие из всех преподавателей Библии. Они всегда казались мне более менее

What Is the Kingdom of God? 

October 31, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Kingdom, Mark 4, Parable
In Mark 4, the Lord gives a series of parables that revolve around the kingdom of God. I think there are many believers who don’t realize how important a correct understanding of the kingdom of God is when it comes to interpreting the Scriptures. In a short parable, the Lord says the kingdom of God

Ang Kapangyarihan Ng Biyaya

October 30, 2024 by Ken Yates in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Hindi ako tiyak kung nagkita kami, ngunit isang propesor sa seminaryong aking pinag-aralan ang bumibighani sa akin. Ang kaniyang pangalan ay Jack Deere. Nagtuturo siya sa departamento ng Lumang Tipan. Nauunawaan kong ito ay esteryotipo, pero sa aking isipan, ang mga iskolar ng Lumang Tipan ay ang pinakaistoiko sa lahat ng mga guro ng Biblia.

El poder de la Gracia

October 29, 2024 by Ken Yates in Su Gracia Gratuita - 2 Tim 2:13, Gracia, Jack Deere, Seguridad Eterna
No estoy seguro de haberlo llegado a conocer en persona, pero un profesor del seminario al que asistí me fascinaba. Su nombre era Jack Deere. Enseñaba en el departamento del Antiguo Testamento. Sé que es un estereotipo, pero en mi cabeza, los eruditos del Antiguo Testamento son los más estoicos de todos los enseñantes bíblicos.

Il potere della grazia

October 29, 2024 by Ken Yates in Grazia Gratuita - 2Ti 2:13, Grazia, Jack Deere, Sicurezza
Non sono sicuro di averlo mai incontrato, ma al seminario che frequentavo c’era un professore che mi intrigava. Si chiamava Jack Deere e insegnava al dipartimento dell’Antico Testamento. Mi rendo conto che si tratta di uno stereotipo, ma nella mia mente gli studiosi dell’AT sono i più stoici tra tutti gli insegnanti della Bibbia. Mi

Zwróć swój wzrok na nagrodę (Ewangelia Mateusza 6:22-23)

October 28, 2024 by Ken Yates in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi - Kazanie na górze, Mateusza 7:19-24, Nagrody
W języku angielskim jest idiom: „Keep your eye on the ball” (dosł. trzymaj oko na piłce). Jako rodzimi użytkownicy języka angielskiego wiemy, co to znaczy. „Piłka” jest tym, co jest ważne. Zwrot ten ostrzega nas, aby nie odwracać uwagi od głównego celu. Na przykład, jeśli polityk ubiega się o urząd, jego sztab przypomni mu, aby
