Il ravvedimento di Simone il mago (Atti 8:24)

September 9, 2025 by Ken Yates in Grazia Gratuita - Atti 8: 24, Atti 8:13, Samaria, Simone

Simone, uno stregone della Samaria, è un personaggio affascinante degli Atti degli Apostoli. Non credo che nessuno nella storia della Chiesa sia stato diffamato tanto quanto quest’uomo. Anche se il testo dichiara che era un credente, teologi di ogni dove sono determinati a vederlo confinato nello stagno di fuoco. Anche alcuni teologi credenti fanno parte

Teologiczne więzienie

Większość z nas spotkała ludzi, którzy są więźniami teologicznego więzienia. Kalwiniści wierzą, że Bóg wybrał tych, którzy będą w Jego królestwie, zanim się urodzili. Według tej nauki, jeśli zostałeś wybrany, wszystko jest w porządku. Jeśli nie, spędzać będziesz wieczność w jeziorze ognia. Kalwiniści i zwolennicy lordship salvation wierzą, że jeśli jesteś jednym z wybranych szczęśliwców,

I Will Follow You, Lord!

September 8, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - Discipleship, Luke 9:51-58, Suffering

In Luke 9:57, the Lord is on His way to Jerusalem to suffer and die. While He is “on the road” to that destination, a man comes up to Him and tells the Lord that he will follow Him, wherever He goes. We can confidently conclude that this man is a believer. He believes that

Different Motives for Serving the Lord

I spent a lot of years in the military. I met a lot of soldiers. If you asked them why they signed up to serve, you would get many different answers. Some did it for love of country. Others for the steady paycheck. Some craved the challenge, the camaraderie, or the chance to travel. Many

On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy, in an address to Congress, said the United States should commit itself to landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth. This should be done before the end of the decade. On July 20, 1969, NASA accomplished that goal. A couple of years

Arthur Ashe was one of the greatest tennis players who ever lived. He won five Grand Slam tennis titles, including Wimbledon. He reached this level of success even though he was a black man who had to overcome racism in the South. As a young boy, he was not allowed to use certain athletic facilities

On July 4, a devastating flood hit the Texas Hill Country. At least 130 people lost their lives. Many of them were children and teenage counselors who were at a Christian summer camp for girls. Many heartbreaking stories have come from this event. They have been related in numerous sermons and shared in the national

All three Synoptic Gospels include the Parable of the Four Soils and Jesus’ explanation of what the parable means (Matt 13:3–9; 18–23; Mark 4:3–9; 13–20; Luke 8:4–8; 11–15). The second soil—the stony soil—represents a believer who does not endure. He gives up when things get tough. He will be in the kingdom but will not

In the opening verses of Hebrews, the unnamed author emphasizes the enemies of Christ and His people. He does this by quoting and alluding to various OT passages, focusing mainly on passages from several psalms. In Heb 1:5, the author quotes from Ps 2, which speaks of the coming King’s laughing at His enemies (Ps

Nedavno sam vidio plakat s Apple Watchom. Nije bio oglas. Bio je prikaz raznih sitnih dijelova sata, uz citat osnivača Applea, Stevea Jobsa koji je rekao:„Ovdje smo da napravimo udubljenje u svemiru. Inače, zašto bismo uopće bili ovdje?“ Ne znam je li Jobs to rekao kad je započela proizvodnja njegova novog sata, ali poruka plakata
