Saved Through Childbearing? A Second Option (1 Timothy 2:15)

February 5, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - 1 Timothy, Artemis, childbearing, Ephesus

In 1 Timothy, Paul wrote: Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control (1 Tim 2:15). Was Paul denying justification by faith apart from works? Do women have two conditions to be eternally saved, i.e., faith plus having children? That can’t be. Scripture is too clear

Comece com o queijo (1 Samuel 17: 17-20)

February 4, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Graça sem limites - Graça Livre, Ministério, Serviço

As pessoas costumam me perguntar: “Como posso começar no ministério?” A resposta é bastante simples. Você começa com o queijo. Eu vou explicar. Você se lembra quando Deus levantou Davi para derrotar Golias? Esse foi certamente um dos exemplos mais impressionantes da história de ser usado por Deus no ministério, certo? Mas você sabe o

Jesus is the Event (John 11:23-26)

February 3, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Resurrection

God hates death. Even so, in Christ, God transformed death to make it part of His ministry. This quote from Andy Root struck me: “The movement through death to life is the very shape of God’s ministry” (Root, Christopraxis, p. 105). How has the movement from death to life become the shape of God’s ministry?

How Do You Know If You Are Spiritually Mature?

February 1, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - community, Discipleship, spiritual maturity

How do you know if you are spiritually mature? Assurance of eternal salvation comes from believing Jesus’ promise of everlasting life (John 3:16). But knowing if you are spiritual mature is a different issue. It is not something you can easily decide for yourself, and maybe you shouldn’t decide for yourself. Instead, that seems to

Saved by Grace, Devoted to Good Works (Titus 3:1-8)

January 28, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Discipleship, good works, Grace, Titus

If the new birth depends on believing, not working, then where do good works fit into the Christian life? I think Paul’s letter to Titus summarizes the “grace” attitude to good works. Consider this passage: Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak

¿Será Dios Misericordioso?

January 27, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Su Gracia Gratuita

Muchos cristianos dicen que creen en la misericordia de Dios, pero la verdad es que no creen en ella. De hecho, la misericordia que esperan de Dios es completamente contraria a la misericordia que Dios ofrece. ¿Por qué digo esto? La mayoría de los cristianos no creen en la misericordia de Dios porque creen en

É a Ceia do Senhor…uma Ceia? (1 Cor 11: 18-25)

January 26, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Graça sem limites

The Meaning of the “Supper”

January 25, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - communion, deipnon, Fellowship, Lord’s Supper, table

For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of

Atrapando y limpiando el pez

January 22, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Su Gracia Gratuita

Siempre estoy atento en capturar ilustraciones simples de las verdades bíblicas fácilmente entendibles para la mayoría de las personas. Aquí está una: Escuché a un evangelista contando la historia de cómo se perturbaron las personas en su iglesia cuando él empezó a llevar a las personas a Cristo, y, como consecuencia, la iglesia empezó a

Recompensado com uma boa reputação (Mateus 5:19)

January 21, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Graça sem limites

“Portanto, todo aquele que quebrar um dos menores destes mandamentos e assim ensinar aos homens, será chamado o menor no reino dos céus; mas o que as fizer e ensinar será chamado grande no reino dos céus ”(Mt 5:19). Henry Ford disse uma vez: “Você não pode construir uma reputação com base no que vai
