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

Nagkakasala Ngunit May Pakikisama Sa Panginoon

May 2, 2024 by Ken Yates in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Nang ako ay kapelyan sa Hukbo, pumasok ako sa isang napaka-Calvinistang seminary. Lahat ng aking mga propesor ay tinuturong kung ang isang tao ay tunay na Cristiano, hindi siya magpapatuloy sa kasalanan. Ang madalas na halimbawa ng pananaw na ito ay ang “tunay” na Cristiano ay hindi maaaring maging aktibong homosekswal. Kapag nabibigyan ng pagkakataon,

Public or Private Rebuke? 

May 2, 2024 by Kathryn Wright in Blog - church discipline, Gal 2:11-14, Matt 18:15
At a recent men’s conference in Springfield, Missouri, Mark Driscoll, the well-known former pastor of Mars Hill, was booted off stage during his guest speaking appearance. The “Stronger Men’s Conference” was hosted by the James River Church, which is pastored by John Lindell. The conference’s stated purpose was to equip men to “live out God’s

Традиции и социальное давление (Исход 32:1-7)

May 1, 2024 by Ken Yates in Бесплатный дар благодати - 1 Кор 10:12, Гордыня, Любовь к миру, Традиции
У многих библейских рассказов неожиданная развязка. Одним из таких примеров является повествование в Книге Исход 32:1-7. Это очень известный отрывок. Моисей подымается на гору Синай, чтобы получить Закон от Господа. Пока он находится на горе в течение 40 дней, народ Израиля остаётся у основания горы под руководством Аарона, брата Моисея, второй по значимости личности в

Legatelo e gettatelo nelle tenebre di fuori (Matteo 22:13)

May 1, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - Giudizio escatologico, Matteo 22:13, Tenebre di fuori
Ecco la domanda scottante del giorno dalla mia casella di posta: Innanzitutto, vorrei dire che apprezzo GES (Grace Evangelical Society) e mi trovo d’accordo con gran parte di quello che ho letto e sentito finora. Una cosa che al momento non riesco a capire bene è la frase “legatelo mani e piedi” in relazione agli

Why I Like, “I Believe”, the Amazon Prime Movie 

May 1, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Wilford Brimley preaches Jesus Christ
Sharon told me about the movie and suggested we watch it. Amazon Prime members can watch the movie at no added cost. The trailer for the movie sounds like a Focused Free Grace presentation: The pastor asks the boy, “Do you believe in Jesus?” The boy responds, “Yes, I believe.” You can see the trailer

大能的话语(路 4:31-36)

May 1, 2024 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 可1:15, 永生, 神迹, 约5:24
《路加福音》4:31-36 记载了基督传道初期发生的一件事。主在迦百农的会堂里教导人。毫无疑问,祂是在讲授即将到来的神的国度。无论大多数人是否相信祂是基督,路加记录了他们对祂的教导的看法。他们对祂所说的话感到惊讶,因为 “祂的话是有权柄的“(第 32 节)。他们被深深打动了。 造成这种反应的原因是,祂没有教导别人教导的东西,也没有用别人教导的方式来教导人。当时的拉比引用了过去的拉比的话。即使是几个世纪前的先知们,他们也只是说了一些自称来自上帝的话。他们预言了将要发生的事情。 但基督并没有向以前的拉比求助。祂以自己的权威说话。他自称是预言的应验。所有这些先知都在把这个民族指向他。在祂身上,神的国度被献给了这个民族。事实上,既然祂在那里,就可以说神的国临近了(可 1:15)。祂可以将神的国度带给神的选民。 谁能说出如此独特的话?如果他说的是真的,那他的话语中一定蕴含着怎样的力量? 在这几节经文中,路加讲述了耶稣在会堂里不只是教导人。就在祂讲道的时候,一个被鬼附着的人喊叫起来。耶稣只说了一句话,那鬼就被赶了出去,场面十分壮观。 无论犹太会堂里的人听说过什么驱魔仪式,这一次都与众不同。没有神奇的咒语。没有仪式。主只是说了一句话,它就发生了。他只是告诉魔鬼 “从他身上出来”。在会堂里所有人的注视下,那个一直在哭喊的魔鬼按照主的吩咐做了。 人们对这一神迹的反应与他们对耶稣教导的反应几乎完全相同。他们从未目睹过这样的事情。他们对祂的讲道感到惊讶。魔鬼被赶出去之后,他们也感到惊讶。他们把这个奇迹归功于祂的话语,因为祂的话语是带着权柄和能力的(第 36 节)。祂通过这个神迹表明,祂大有能力的话语宣扬了神的国度,能够战胜撒旦的权势,使神国成为现实。 很明显,路加说的是,基督的传道和他赶鬼的能力都表明,他的话语因其固有的权威而具有言出必行的能力。 祂也将这强大而权威的话语传达给我们,这难道不是很棒吗?我最喜欢的例子之一是 “我实实在在地告诉你们,那听我话,又信差我来者的,就有永生“。祂应许说,凡听见祂的话就信祂得永生的人,将永远与祂同住在祂的国度里。这是一个强有力的话语!它战胜了死亡本身。 无论我们信主多久,祂的话就是这么奇妙!我们相信祂的人可以像迦百农的人一样,对他们所听到和看到的作出反应。事实上,我们可以在更大程度上这样做,因为我们已经相信祂是基督。我们对祂大能的话语为我们所做的一切感到惊奇和惊讶。

To Delight a King

May 1, 2024 by Kathryn Wright in Grace in Focus Articles
By Kathryn Wright Princess Problems The Book of Esther is a bit of a conundrum for many Bible students. It reads almost like a fairytale. A Jewish Cinderella is crowned queen and saves the Jewish people from the evil villain Haman. Add a goofy sidekick and an epic music number, and we’d have a Disney

Voice From the Past: Short-Sighted Believers (2 Peter 1:9)?

May 1, 2024 by Zane Hodges in Grace in Focus Articles
By Zane Hodges1 For he who lacks these things is short-sighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. The writer of this article has been nearsighted since grade school. My 7th-grade teacher noticed me squinting as I tried to read the blackboard. She shared this observation with my

Walking on Water: A Lesson in Pleasing God, Matthew 14:22-33

May 1, 2024 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles
By Bill Lee One of Jesus Christ’s best-known miracles was walking on water. It occurred during the night following the day that He fed the five thousand on the northeast coast of the Sea of Galilee. What is less known is why He did it. He had a reason. The Lord Jesus Christ had a
