Never Mind, Lord

May 1, 2023 by Ken Yates in Grace in Focus Articles
By Ken Yates INTRODUCTION We have all heard the phrase, “there are no atheists in foxholes.” What that means is that when a man is facing death, he often finds religion. He will promise God all kinds of things if God gets him through the danger he finds himself in. A soldier, for example, might

A Review of Voddie Baucham Jr.’s Book, Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism’s Looming Catastrophe

May 1, 2023 by Ken Yates in Grace in Focus Articles
By Ken Yates1 Baucham addresses the problem of critical race theory, intersectionality, and critical social justice, and their impact on our society and Evangelicalism. These ideas view racism as being engrained in the very fabric of America. They see white privilege and white supremacy at the root of all our problems. Taken together, these ideas

罪的饶恕

April 28, 2023 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 相交, 福音, 认罪, 饶恕
我的女儿们现在都成年了,但她们小的时候喜欢看电影《公主新娘(The Princess Bride)》。关于这部电影,我所记得的只是一些反复重复的短语。不可思议这个词就是一个例子。其中一个角色在不同场合误用了这个词。有一次,在他说完这个词之后,另一个角色说:“你一直在用这个词。我不认为这是你想的那个意思。”这句话既令人难忘又有趣。 我想我们所有人都会时不时地误用单词和短语,这就是为什么这句话很幽默。我相信每一个学习《圣经》的人都能证明自己犯过这样的错误。 近年来,我总结出一个这样的例子,就是基督徒使用“罪得赦免”这个短语的方式。我们当然用过,也听别人用过。但我们是否正确地使用了它?我们知道《圣经》说它是什么意思吗?或者,就像电影中的角色一样,我们是否只以一种我们认为适合的方式使用它? 例如,我们经常听到(我们自己也说过)信徒的罪得赦免,我们理解这意味着我们所有的罪——过去的、现在的和将来的——都被赦免了。然后我们不得不回头说,我们仍然需要承认我们的罪,以便在持续的得到饶恕。当一个信徒犯了罪,他需要承认,才能得到罪的赦免。当我们被要求澄清表面上的矛盾时,我们说,一个处理地位上的饶恕,另一个处理日常饶恕。也许这是对的。但也许,另一方面,我们会在内心深处听到一个声音说:“你一直在用那个词。我不认为这是你想的那个意思。” 另一个我们经常听到这个短语的时候是当人们传福音的时候。他们告诉人们相信耶稣的“赦罪”,如果他们相信,他们就会得救。这里的问题是,当耶稣在约翰福音中向人们传福音时,他从来没有提到罪得赦免。此外,每一个异端的成员都会告诉你,他们的罪得赦免是因为基督所做的。他们要告诉你,他们不信自己有永生,但他们的罪得赦免。例如,摩门教徒和耶和华见证会声称他们相信耶稣能赦罪。他们的福音信息是拯救吗?我又一次听到一个声音:“你一直在用那个短语……” 根据对新约的仔细研究,以及与比我更了解圣经的人的交谈,我认为我们没有正确地使用这个短语。一个正确的理解是,罪的赦免与拥有永生和从火湖里被救出来是不一样的。罪的赦免是指与主相交。当我们相信他的永生时,我们也得到了罪的赦免。这意味着我们可以与神相交。但是这种宽恕并不能掩盖未来的罪。当我们成为信徒后犯了罪,我们需要承认这些罪。当我们这样做的时候,我们得到了罪的赦免,我们可以继续与主相交。 当一个信徒意识到他的罪而不承认他的罪时,除非他这样做,否则他的罪不会得到赦免(约一1:9)。当然,他永远不会失去永生。但是赦罪和得永生是不一样的。 如果我是对的,我们应该更仔细地考虑如何使用这个短语。将来我们可能会听到有人说:“如果你相信耶稣,你的罪就会得到赦免:过去的、现在的和将来的。”或者,我们可能会听到这样的福音陈述:“相信耶稣,罪得赦免。”当我们这样做的时候,我们可以像《公主新娘》中的角色一样。我们可以说出我们的台词:“你知道吗,你一直在用那个短语。但我不认为这是你想的那个意思。”

Прощение грехов

April 27, 2023 by Ken Yates in Бесплатный дар благодати - Евангелие, Исповедь, Общение, Прощение
Мои дочки уже выросли, но, когда они были помладше, они обожали фильм “Принцесса-невеста”. Единственное, что я помню из этого фильма, это то, что определенные фразы там повторялись снова и снова. Например, один из главных героев неправильно использовал слово «немыслимый» в нескольких ситуациях. Однажды, после того как он сказал его, другой главный герой произнес фразу, ставшую

Ang Kapatawaran Ng Mga Kasalanan

April 27, 2023 by Ken Yates in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Ang mga anak kong babae ay matatanda na ngayon ngunit nang sila ay bata pa, paborito nila ang pelikulang The Princess Bride. Ang tangi ko lang naaalala sa pelikula ay ang ilang mga pariralang paulit ulit na binabanggit. Ang salitang hindi lubos maisip ay isang halimbawa. Isa sa mga tauhan ay lagi itong ginagamit sa

It Will Be Better Next Year (1 John 2:17)

April 27, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1 John 2:17, Heb 6:12, Hope, Rom 8:22-25, world passing away
I went to college at the US Air Force Academy. I don’t want to make it sound too terrible, but life at a civilian college would have been a lot more fun than attending a military academy. There are some unpleasant aspects about spending four years of your life at such a regimented institution. But

L’amore tenace di una madre (Isa 49:15)

April 26, 2023 by Ken Yates in Grazia Gratuita - 1 John 3:1, Disciplina, Isa 49:15, Madre
Recentemente, ho visto un video che sono sicuro anche molti di voi hanno visto. Una giovane madre stava spingendo il suo bambino in carrozzina lungo la strada di una grande città degli Stati Uniti. Il conducente di un’auto ha sterzato di proposito per colpire la donna e il suo bambino. Non si poteva vedere il

El perdón de los pecados

April 25, 2023 by Ken Yates in Su Gracia Gratuita - Comunión, Confesión, Evangelio, Perdón
Mis hijas ya son adultas, pero cuando eran pequeñas les encantaba la película La Princesa Prometida. Lo único que recuerdo de la película son ciertas frases que se repetían una y otra vez. La palabra inconcebible es un ejemplo. En varias ocasiones uno de los personajes la utilizó incorrectamente. Una vez, después de que la
