La portata della nostra salvezza (Tito 3:4-7)

August 8, 2024 by Ken Yates in Grazia Gratuita - Eredità, Ricompense, Ro 12:1-2, Ro 8:17, Salvezza
Per la maggior parte della mia vita, ho frequentato diverse chiese evangeliche. In tutte veniva posto l’accento sulla salvezza dall’inferno, ovvero dallo stagno di fuoco. Possiamo dire che la maggior parte dei messaggi predicati in quelle chiese ruotava intorno a questo tema. La salvezza eterna rappresenta sicuramente un tema importante. Tuttavia, l’enfasi è tale per

Putting on a Show 

August 5, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1 John 3:18, hypocrisy, love, truth
It was a photo that exuded love and devotion. It is easy to see why it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1973. Bob Stirm, an Air Force pilot, had returned to the US after five-and-a-half years as a POW in North Vietnam. Those years had been filled with torture and deprivation. The thought of being

Nieprzerwana społeczność z Bogiem mimo grzeszenia

July 31, 2024 by Ken Yates in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi
Kiedy byłem kapelanem w wojsku, uczęszczałem do silnie kalwińskiego seminarium. Wszyscy moi profesorowie twierdzili, że jeśli ktoś jest prawdziwym chrześcijaninem, to nie może nieustannie grzeszyć. Powszechnym przykładem tego poglądu było to, że „prawdziwy” chrześcijanin nie może być praktykującym homoseksualistą. Kiedy miałem okazję, wskazywałem, że chrześcijanin może popełnić (i „praktykować”!) każdy grzech. Nasza grzeszna aktywność nie

Strange Bedfellows 

July 31, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - compromise, doctrine, Ecumenicalism
During WWII, Hollywood did its part in helping the war effort. They produced movies that promoted patriotism and mocked the Japanese and Nazis. They also made pictures that extolled the greatness of our allies. One of the allies was the Soviet Union. Films that praised that communist country included Mission to Moscow, The North Star,

Are Free Grace People Divisive? (Titus 3:10) 

July 29, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Gal 1:6-9, legalism, Titus 1:10, Titus 1:14
If you have ever publicly taught Free Grace theology, at any level, you have almost certainly been accused of being a divisive person. The accusation can come in different ways. Some will point out that you hold to a minority view. The majority cannot be wrong. Others will say that good people differ with you.

Tradycja i presja otoczenia (2. Mojżeszowa 32:1-7)

July 27, 2024 by Ken Yates in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi
Wiele z biblijnych relacji nas zaskakuje. Przykładem jednej z nich jest 2. Księga Mojżeszowa 32:1-7. Jest to powszechnie znany fragment. Mojżesz udał się na górę Synaj, aby otrzymać Prawo od Pana Boga. Pozostał na górze przez czterdzieści dni. Naród izraelski znajdował się u podnóża góry, pod przywództwem brata Mojżesza, Aarona, który był drugim zwierzchnikiem Izraela.

Keep Your Eye on the Reward (Matthew 6:22-23) 

July 25, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Matt 7:19-24, rewards, Sermon on the Mount;
In English, we have the phrase, “Keep your eye on the ball.” As native speakers, we know what it means. The “ball” is what is important. The phrase warns us not to be distracted from the main goal. For example, if a politician is running for office, his staff will remind him to keep his

Pełne mocy Słowo (Łukasza 4:31-36)

July 24, 2024 by Ken Yates in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi - Jana 5:24, Marka 1:15, Życie wieczne
Ewangelia wg Łukasza 4:31-36 opisuje wydarzenie, które miało miejsce na początku służby Chrystusa. Pan Jezus nauczał w synagodze w Kafarnaum. Na pewno nauczał o nadchodzącym Królestwie Bożym. Niezależnie od tego, czy większość ludzi wierzyła, że jest On Chrystusem, Łukasz zapisał, co myśleli o Jego nauczaniu. Byli zdumieni tym, co mówił, ponieważ „przemawiał z mocą” (Łukasza

设立障碍

July 24, 2024 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 教师, 文士, 法利赛人, 路11:52, 路5:12-16, 路5:17-26
《路加福音》5:17-26讲述了一个瘫子被主医治的故事,当时他的朋友把他从屋顶上缒了下来。尽管这个故事我已经听过很多次,但最近我注意到了一些以前忽略的东西。 路加记述说,房子里有文士和法利赛人。我以前以为他们是房子里人群的一小部分。但路加指出,他们是从加利利“各乡村(every town)”、犹太甚至耶路撒冷来的。那可是很多城镇啊!我意识到,有许多宗教领袖是来观看和聆听主的。我的理解是,第一世纪的房屋都很小。路加说的是耶稣当时在一个满是法利赛人和文士的家里。 由于这些人都在那里,瘫子无法进入家中(第 19 节)。这些宗教人士不让病人从门口进入。这个瘫子的朋友们被迫把他带到屋顶,并把他缒下来。只有这样,瘫子才能与主同在。 这个病人和他的朋友都是信徒。他们想要亲近主。他们想要他们的朋友被医治。我们可以确信,他们想听听耶稣在屋子里的教导。耶稣称赞了他们的信心,并宣布瘫子的罪已经得到了赦免。 与这个人和他的朋友们不同,宗教领袖们在那里批评主。他们指责祂亵渎上帝。 这段记载与前几节经文有关,在前几节经文中,主洁净了一个麻风病人(5:12-16)。主把这个痊愈的麻风病人差到耶路撒冷的宗教领袖那里,以显示祂为这个人所做的。这就是为什么路加提到耶路撒冷的领袖们也在这所房子里。他们听说了关于基督的教导和能力,所以他们要去看看。 只有上帝才能洁净麻风病人。当耶稣医治瘫子并赦免他的罪时,祂再次做了只有上帝才能做的事情。这些领袖有无可辩驳的证据表明做这些事的“那位”是上帝差来的。当祂宣称自己是基督时,他们的责任是显而易见的。他们应该告诉人们拿撒勒人耶稣就是弥赛亚。 当然,事情并非如此。这预示着领袖们将轻视摆在他们眼前的证据。他们挤满了屋子,用挑剔的耳朵聆听主。他们急于拒绝祂,他们指责祂亵渎上帝。亵渎的人不可能是基督。这就是他们要向人们传达的信息。 这很可悲,不是吗?宗教领袖本应带领人们认识真理。在这种情况下,他们的工作很简单。真理是显而易见的。但他们的骄傲和对权力的热爱阻止了他们去做本该做的事。 但还有更糟的。这里有一个人和他的朋友他们是相信真理的。他们想要靠近他们认出是基督的“那位”。然而,宗教领袖们成为这些想要亲近主的人的障碍。他们没有把人们指向“那位”显然是基督的人,而是把他们推开!后来,主直接指责他们的这一罪行(《路》11:52)。因为房子里挤满了宗教领袖,这个人和他的朋友不得不大费周章才能来到基督的面前! 同样的事情也发生在今天。在不同的宗教团体中,有许多受人尊敬的领袖。这些受人尊敬的领袖接触到了恩典和救恩的确信以及奖赏的教义的信息。但出于种种原因,他们拒绝了这些教义的声音。然而,他们并不满足于此,而是还积极地鼓励其他人拒绝这些真理。如果那些仰望他们的人寻求真理,这些领袖就会想尽一切办法阻止他们接近真理。他们会说些类似这些圣经教义是亵渎的话。他们就像这段经文中的宗教领袖一样。这就好像他们在主的教导周围筑起一道墙,不让人听见祂。 那恶者想要阻止人们了解真理。许多宗教领袖也是如此。幸运的是,寻求真理的人会找到真理。瘫子和他的朋友们就是这样一幅图画。对我们大多数人来说,我们不需要破坏屋顶就能接近君王。

The Cabinet of the King (Daniel 12:12) 

July 23, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Dan 12:3-13, Judgments, rewards, Tribulation
In the US, we are approaching a presidential election. It will take place in November. But the president will not take office until January. There will be around seventy-five days from the time he or she is declared president until the new government takes effect. What will happen during those seventy-five days? One of the

What Is Eschatological Salvation, and Do You Have It? 

I don’t remember hearing the expression eschatological salvation when I was studying at Dallas Theological Seminary. But over the past thirty years or so I’ve noticed that expression occurring increasingly in the commentary literature. Some pastors are...
