Where Did We Get the Name Christmas? 

December 25, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - The origin of the name Christmas
Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:10-11).” The word Christmas is not found in

毁掉神的话(王上22:1-8)

December 25, 2023 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 《圣经》, 学习, 约西亚
在关于以色列和犹大国王的记载中,很少有虔诚的国王。其中有许多事件在现代读者看来有些奇怪。《列王记下》第 22 章就是其中之一。约西亚是少数敬虔的国王之一。当他还是一个年轻人时,他想修复年久失修的耶和华圣殿。在修缮时,人们发现了藏在殿中的 《律法书(Book of the Law)》。关于 《律法书 》指的是什么,众说纷纭,但都认为至少涉及摩西律法的一部分。也许是全部五本书,也许只是《申命记》。 无论它是什么,约西亚都不知道它的存在。在记载中,就连祭司们也不知道。他们很快就发现自己在遵守它的规定方面还差得很远。怎么会这样呢?作为耶和华圣殿所在的国家,作为上帝赐予律法的国家,怎么会不知道律法的内容呢? 也许打个比方就能说明这个说法有多奇怪。想象一下,在美国生活的人都不知道美国宪法。在史密森尼博物馆工作时,有人发现了一本副本。当人们读到这本宪法时,政府很快就认定我们没有遵守它。我们甚至无法想象这样的事情会发生。 这在犹大是如何发生的呢?首先,我们必须牢记,当时的《圣经》抄本很少。圣经必须手工抄写,只有一小部分人会读或写。只有国家的领导层才能确保人民知道上帝所说的话。在这一点上,领导层失败得一塌糊涂。在约西亚登基之前的五十七年里,有两个邪恶的国王统治着这个国家。上帝的话语被忽视了。神的话语没有读给百姓听。相反,这两个邪恶的国王却把人们引向对虚假偶像的崇拜。事实上,如果我们完全诚实的话,我们可以肯定,在许多情况下,《圣经》的抄本被故意销毁了。 这当然是撒旦的愿望。他希望上帝的选民远离上帝和祂的话语。在历史上,撒旦确实这样做过。例如,在过去,天主教会改变了用人们使用的语言来书写经文,代之以拉丁语。马丁·路德与这一趋势进行了斗争,他将《圣经》翻译成德文,以便本国的普通人能够理解。 在约西亚的记载中,这个国家发生的事情令人悲哀。对神的话语忽视导致犹大陷入混乱。几年后,犹大人被掳到巴比伦。 你对今天的情况有什么看法?参加我们教会活动的人对《圣经》的了解程度如何?上帝的话语似乎被忽视了吗?显然,我们的领袖并没有公然毁坏《圣经》,但可悲的现实是,很多很多基督徒自愿选择不读《圣经》。我们都听过这样一句话:拒绝阅读的人与不会阅读的人没有什么不同。这句话也适用于上帝的话语。上帝的话语就像被关进了壁橱,人们甚至不知道它的存在。 好消息是,上帝的话语总能存留。约西亚之前的国王们曾试图根除它。他们失败了。天主教会也是如此。主说,他的话语永不逝去。让我们阅读它,不要像约西亚时代的人们一样。

Не позволяйте ничему другому, кроме Писания, руководить Вашими убеждениями и практиками

December 22, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Бесплатный дар благодати - sola scriptura
Нам как христианам следует основывать свои убеждения и практики на Слове Бога. И все же существует как минимум четыре различных влияния, кроме Библии, которые могут встать на пути принятия учения Божьего Слова: 1) слово или ощущение, предположительно исходящее от Бога; 2) история церкви (соборы, вероисповедания, пасторы, авторы); 3) личный опыт; и 4) логика. Слово или

What Is the Role of God’s Word in Regeneration? 

December 22, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - The Bible and salvation
God’s Word is the key to everything. It is certainly the key to being born again. You can only be born again by believing God’s Word. Many people mistakenly think the conditions for everlasting life include turning from sins, submission, commitment, obedience, and perseverance. That makes sense to them. That is what their tradition teaches.

No permitas que nada más que las Escrituras guíen tus creencias y prácticas

December 21, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Su Gracia Gratuita - sola scriptura
Los cristianos debemos basar nuestras creencias y nuestras prácticas en la Palabra de Dios. Sin embargo, hay por lo menos cuatro influencias, aparte de la Biblia, que pueden interponerse en nuestra aceptación de la Palabra de Dios: 1) una palabra o impresión supuestamente de Dios; 2) la historia de la iglesia (concilios, credos, pastores, autores);

Związek pomiędzy wiarą w Jezusa w celu otrzymania życia wiecznego a wiarą w to, że jesteśmy grzesznikami

December 21, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi
Dick przeczytał mój ostatni blog zatytułowany „Jak w jasny sposób i z łatwością dzielić się naszą wiarą, ewangelizując tak, jak ewangelizował Pan Jezus?”. To skłoniło go do zadania następującego pytania: Dziękuję za waszą służbę, którą uważam za pomocną i zachęcającą. Mam jednak do Ciebie pytanie, które koncentruje się wokół słowa „(u)wierzyć” w Ewangelii Jana. Piszesz

Huwag ninyong hayaang may iba pa maliban sa kasulatan na gumabay sa inyong mga paniniwala at gawi

December 21, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Dapat ibase ng mga Cristiano ang ating mga paniniwala at gawi sa Salita ng Diyos. Ngunit mayroong apat na impluwensiya, bukod sa Biblia, na makahahadlang sa ating tanggapin ang mga aral ng Salita ng Diyos: 1) isang salita o impresyong umano’y mula sa Diyos; 2) kasaysayan ng iglesia (mga konseho, mga kredo, mga pastor, mga

Christmas Memories

December 21, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1 Thess 4:13, Death, Grief, Second Coming
In my younger days I often heard stories about how Christmas was a sad time for many people in our churches. The season brought back memories of loved ones who were no longer alive. Those left behind felt lonely, and Christmas was no longer the joyous time it used to be. I have heard of

Разрушить Слово Бога (4 Царств 22:1-8)

December 20, 2023 by Ken Yates in Бесплатный дар благодати - Изучение, Иосия, Писание
Ветхий Завет описывает много событий, связанных с царями Израиля и Иудеи (мало кто из которых был благочестивым), которые покажутся странными для современного читателя. Одно из таких мест Писания находится в 22 главе 4 Книги Царств. Иосия был одним из немногочисленных благочестивых царей. Когда он был молод, он захотел восстановить храм Господа, который пришел в запустение.

Non lasciate che qualcosa di diverso dalle Scritture governi le vostre idee e i vostri comportamenti.

December 20, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - sola scriptura
Il Cristiano deve basare le proprie idee e i propri comportamenti sulla Parola di Dio. Tuttavia, ci sono almeno quattro fattori, oltre alla Bibbia, che possono ostacolare la nostra accettazione dell’insegnamento della Parola di Dio: 1) una parola o un segno che si suppone provenga da Dio; 2) la storia della Chiesa (concilii, credi, pastori,
