Quatro razões de senso comum pelas quais sua vida de oração é fraca

April 27, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Graça sem limites

Poder orar ao Deus vivo é um privilégio fantástico. Mas pode ser difícil desenvolver, manter e manter uma vida de oração saudável com o tempo. A oração requer disciplina. Também requer sabedoria. E se você deseja sabedoria para viver a vida cristã, leia o livro de Tiago. É como o Livro de Provérbios do Novo

El sufrimiento abrió los ojos de Job

April 26, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Su Gracia Gratuita

Los tres amigos de Job tenían una visión muy legalista de Dios y del mundo. Ellos pensaban que todo funcionaba según una ley clara y sencilla de causa y efecto moral—de recompensa y castigo—en la que las buenas personas son bendecidas, y las malas personas sufren. Así que cuando vieron a Job sufrir, la única

La fe de Job creció a través del sufrimiento

April 23, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Su Gracia Gratuita

Job era bastante religioso, bastante piadoso, y bastante bueno. Incluso Dios dijo, “¿No has considerado a mi siervo, Job, que no hay otro como él en la tierra, varón perfecto y recto, temeroso de Dios y apartado del mal?” (Job 1:8). Pero ser perfecto y recto no quiere decir que sabes todo lo que hay

George Harrison once passed a church billboard that read, “Gossip: The Devil’s Radio… Don’t Be a Broadcaster.” That message hit home. Because he was a Beatle, the press gossiped about him constantly, and it hurt. It inspired Harrison to write the song “Devil’s Radio.” Isn’t it interesting that even a non-Christian can understand and be

Ecos del Edén en el Padrenuestro (Mateo 6:9-13)

April 21, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Su Gracia Gratuita

He estado predicando sobre la oración Padrenuestro en mi iglesia, y en mi propio estudio, sigo escuchando ecos del Edén en las siguientes peticiones: Padre nuestro que estás en los cielos, Nos dirigimos a nuestro Padre porque en Gn 1:1, Dios creó todas las cosas, incluso a nosotros. Él no es parte de la creación,

Lenient Lordship Salvation is the Real “Cheap Grace”

April 20, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Cheap Grace, Lordship Salvation

The Free Grace position is often mischaracterized as “cheap grace.” That’s totally false. To say something is “cheap” implies it costs something, no matter how little. But eternal life does not cost you anything. The only condition to have everlasting life is to simply believe in Jesus for that free gift (cf. John 3:16; Eph

Is Salvation by Faith + Desire?

April 16, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - belief, believing, Desire, Faith, Salvation

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of ways to deny or to confuse the message of faith alone in Christ alone for everlasting life that cannot be lost. I recently heard a new one. Someone who identifies as Free Grace recently told me this (I am paraphrasing): You can believe that John 3:16 is true

“Os professores da graça não devem negar a realidade da ira (Romanos 1:18)

April 15, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Graça sem limites

Percebo que a graça de Deus está sendo enfatizada cada vez mais por um amplo espectro de cristãos – desde anglicanos até carismáticos da Palavra da Fé. Mas também noto que a mensagem da graça pode ser distorcida ao ignorar ou mesmo negar todas as referências à ira, ira, julgamento, castigo e disciplina de Deus.

¿Cómo puede sentir remordimiento una persona perfeccionada?

April 14, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Su Gracia Gratuita

El mismo concepto de obtener recompensas eternas en el futuro reino de Jesús es ajeno a muchos cristianos, pero ciertamente no es ajeno a la Biblia, donde se enseña repetidamente sobre la importancia de las recompensas. En Mateo 6:20, Jesús instó a sus discípulos, “…haceos tesoros en el cielo.” Y el libro de Hebreos dice

Should Christians Kiss One Another? (1 Corinthians 16:20; 2 Corinthians 13:12; Romans 16:16; 1 Peter 5:14)

I grew up in a French city where it was customary to greet people with a double-cheeked kiss. At least, that was normal among my French relatives. Meanwhile, my British/English circles preferred a firm handshake or nod of the head—or, if they felt especially informal, a quick hug. I have been studying the many “one
