Perché non potete comprarvi un regalo?

May 8, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - Il dono di Dio
Non so se sia tecnicamente corretto chiamare regalo qualcosa che si acquista per se stessi, ma ho sentito dire che è così. Quindi, ho deciso di fare una ricerca su Google. Ho digitato la frase “comprarsi un regalo“. Sono rimasto sorpreso nel veder comparire 566 milioni di risultati. Il primo diceva: “Una ricerca ha dimostrato

I Believe, Therefore I Am 

May 8, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - I think, therefore I am
Rene Descartes wrote in 1637, “Cognito, ergo sum.” That means, “I think, therefore I am.” We know we exist because we are sentient beings. During a dream last night, I thought, “I believe, therefore I am born again.” That is essentially a spiritual rearrangement of what Descartes wrote nearly four hundred years ago. How do

Bakit Hindi Mo Pwedeng Bilhan Ang Iyong Sarili Ng Regalo?

May 7, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Hindi ko alam kung tama bang tawagin ang binili mo para sa iyong sarili na isang regalo. Ngunit naririnig ko ang mga taong nagsasabi nito. Kaya nagdesisyon akong magsiyasat sa Google. Tinipa ko ang “bilihan ang iyong sarili ng regalo.” Angular ako na mayroong 566 milyong resulta. Ang unang resulta ay nagsabi, “Ang pagsasaliksik ay

A Very Visible Enemy 

May 7, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - 2 Cor 11:13-14, Eph 6:12-13, Satan, Spiritual Warfare., wrath
A good soldier is always focused on the enemy. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy addressed the graduating students at West Point. They were about to become leaders in our nation’s army. World War II was a distant memory, and the Korean War was almost ten years in the past. But Kennedy knew that our

传统和同辈压力 (出32:1-7)

May 7, 2024 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 世界的爱, 传统, 林前10:12, 骄傲
《圣经》中的许多记载都让我们大吃一惊。《出埃及记》32:1-7 就是一个例子。这是一段著名的经文。摩西上去西奈山,从耶和华那里接受律法。他在山上停留了四十天。以色列人在山脚下,由摩西的兄弟亚伦带领,他是以色列的二把手。 在那四十天里,这个民族得到了最好的照顾。当摩西面对法老时,上帝亲自挑选了亚伦作为摩西在埃及的发言人。亚伦忠实地履行了自己的职责。他在上帝向埃及降下十灾的过程中发挥了重要作用。他处在最前线,目睹了上帝所做的一切,包括分开红海。摩西信任他的兄弟,《出埃及记》中的一切都表明这种信任是正确的。亚伦是上帝的先知。 当摩西在西奈山时,人们变得焦躁不安。显然,他们认为摩西不会再回来了,他们需要一些神明来完成带领他们前往应许之地的任务。他们在埃及见过无数的假神,所以习惯了多神。如果摩西到山上去见的神抛弃了他们,他们就会再造一个来代替祂。 他们去找他们的领袖亚伦来实现这个目标。第一次读这个故事的人可能会对他们的尝试嗤之以鼻。摩西的得力助手肯定不会同意这样一个亵渎神明的计划。 这就是为什么《出埃及记》第 32 章让我们感到惊讶。亚伦同意了他们的请求,甚至做得比他们要求的还要多。他指示他们把金首饰交给他。他把珠宝熔化,用金属做了一个金牛犊。他筑起一座祭坛,在上面献祭。最后,他宣布第二天将是庆祝他们的新神的节日。据我所知,庆祝活动可能包括性犯罪。 亚伦为什么要做这些事呢?看来,他和人们一样,受到了传统的影响。在埃及,他也见过各种金子做的神。在那里,人们崇拜牛犊。他对多神的观念很适应。当然,山上的神曾做过伟大的事情,但在他看来,鉴于摩西的耽搁,也许另一个神可以向人们伸出援手,完成那个让埃及屈服的神已经开始的事情。 很明显,亚伦的行为取悦了人们。当时有很多人,可能有两百万左右。当你孤身一人时,很难拒绝这么多人的愿望。这段经文描绘了亚伦成为全国受欢迎的人的情景。他甚至把这次违背上帝命令的行为变成了一次全国性的聚会!同辈的压力是一种强大的力量!被人赏识和接受世人的掌声总是让人感觉良好。想象一下,被两百万人称赞是什么感觉? 在《哥林多前书》第 10 章中,保罗告诉哥林多的信徒们,他们可以从《出埃及记》以色列人的遭遇中吸取教训。信徒们应该小心,以免像他们那样跌倒(林前 10:12) 其中也包括亚伦。作为基督徒,我们的传统和背景会让我们忘记神所说的话。对我们来说,世界的认可可能比讨主的喜悦更重要。我们需要注意。如果这发生在亚伦身上,我们就不应该认为它不会发生在我们身上。

Why Am I a Zero-Point Calvinist?

May 6, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Calvinism
Today, I recorded a seven-minute YouTube video with this same title. It should go up on the Grace Evangelical Society YouTube channel around the time this blog posts. When I graduated from DTS in 1982, I called myself a Calvinist. I considered myself a three-pointer. I’ve come to realize that all five points are a

Pecando, pero en comunión con el Señor

May 4, 2024 by Ken Yates in Su Gracia Gratuita - 1 Juan 1:9, Confesión, Perseverancia
Durante mi tiempo como capellán en el Ejército, asistí a un seminario fuertemente calvinista. Todos mis profesores insistían en que, si una persona era realmente cristiana, no podría pecar de forma continua. Un ejemplo común de esta visión era que un cristiano “verdadero” no podía ser un homosexual practicante. Cuando tenía la oportunidad, señalaba que

Греша, но всё же пребывая в общении с Богом

May 4, 2024 by Ken Yates in Бесплатный дар благодати - 1 Ин 1:9, Исповедание, Стойкость
Когда я работал капелланом в армии, я посещал строго кальвинистскую семинарию. Все мои преподаватели настаивали, что если человек действительно был христианином, он не мог грешить в течение продолжительного времени. Ярким примером такого взгляда явлется мнение о том, что “настоящий” христианин не может практиковать гомосексуализм. При каждой удобной возможности я старался показать, что христианин может совершать

Religion Won’t Cut It (Luke 5:12-15) 

May 3, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Baptism, Forgiveness, leprosy, Leviticus 14, Luke 5:12-15, Mark 2:5
Throughout church history, people have been duped into believing that they could receive wonderful spiritual benefits from religious rituals. Churches have promised the forgiveness of sins and eternal salvation if people submit to baptism, take communion, or join their ranks. Of course, to keep those blessings, the folks must continue in the teachings of the
