Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength” (Neh 8:10). I have spoken with hundreds of people who were

¿Puede el pensamiento legalista explicar todo el sufrimiento? (Job 3-14)

Kūmāré es un documental de 2011 sobre un hombre de Nueva Jersey que finge ser un gurú de la India (con acento falso) para ver si puede ganar seguidores. El documental es bastante difícil de ver porque gana seguidores, y la gente se convence totalmente de que Kūmāré es un hombre espiritual con poderes espirituales

“Isang Munting Gawa Ng Pananampalataya”?

July 21, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya

Q: Sa iyong blog na Five Differences Between Perseverance of the Saints and Eternal Security binanggit mo na ang kaligtasan ay nangangailangan ng “isang gawa ng pananampalataya.” Maaari mo bang linawin ang “isang gawa ng pananampalataya”? Gusto kong tulungan ang mga tao na ang pananampalataya ay hindi isang desisyon, at marahil napakaselan ko pagdating sa

¿Has visto alguna vez la obra Romeo y Julieta? Hacia el final de la actuación, Julieta toma una droga que induce un sueño temporal y la hace parecer muerta para evitar casarse con un hombre que ella no ama. Para agregar al drama, su cuerpo se coloca en una tumba. Tal y como parece, Julieta

What Can Eternally Secure Believers Lose? Your Local Church

Not every local church is spiritually healthy. Some prosper, while others languish. Some are united in loving purpose, while other churches are divided, divisive, and declining. When someone believes in Jesus for eternal salvation, from that moment on, nothing can separate him from the love of Christ (cf. Rom 8:35). The believer is guaranteed to

Confía en que Dios es sabio (Job 38-42)

Escuché decir que todas las personas en cada momento están pasando por una tormenta, entrando en una tormenta, o saliendo de una tormenta. La vida está llena de tormentas. Y la gente está llena de opiniones sobre cómo atravesarlas, como los amigos de Job. El libro de Job está lleno de tales opiniones, y todas

Amem uns aos outros como Jesus amou (João 13:34-35; 15:12)

É verdade que “Todo amor é amor”? Não é verdade. Nem tudo que se chama de amor é amoroso. E mais, nem todos os amores são iguais. Você sabia que os não-cristãos podem ser exemplos do que significa amar os outros? Como Jesus disse, “Mas se você ama aqueles que o amam, que crédito isso

What Can Eternally Secure Believers Lose? Kingdom Privileges

July 14, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - discipline, Eternal Rewards, Eternal Security, Kingdom, spirituality

When eternally secure believers sin, they cannot lose eternal life, but they can lose their eternal rewards. Not many critics of eternal security have a doctrine of eternal rewards and therefore have trouble interpreting Biblical warnings about losing those rewards. Instead, they misinterpret those passages as references to losing salvation. For example, in Jesus’ letters

Tres maneras de consolar a un amigo que sufre (Job 2:11-13)

July 12, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Su Gracia Gratuita

Recientemente estaba leyendo un artículo escrito por una mujer que perdió a su hermano, su hermana, y los hijos de su hermana en un accidente automovilístico. ¡Horrible! Ella estaba en estado de shock. Andaba como en la niebla, incapaz de pensar claramente. Por supuesto, sus amigos ofrecieron ayudarle. Varios dijeron “Déjame saber si hay algo

What Can Eternally Secure Believers Lose? Their Rewards

Eternal life is free. In other words, it’s a gift. As Paul says: For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast (Eph 2:8-9). Do not misunderstand the nature of God’s grace and what it excludes. The
