Why Doesn’t the Bible Say That Justification/Regeneration Is by Faith ALONE? 

February 22, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - by faith alone, James 2:24, sola fide
O. O. (not 7) writes: “You continue to see individual passages saying one is saved by faith. But nowhere do they say by faith alone.” In January of 1996, I debated a Church of Christ evangelist on justification by faith alone. One of his points was that the only place in the Bible that speaks

用我们已被给予的(罗8:11)

February 22, 2023 by Ken Yates in 聚焦恩典 - 圣灵, 奖赏, 成圣, 罗8:11
我们所有人在处理一项工作时可能都没有意识到,我们身边有一个工具,可以让这项工作更容易。事实上,因为我们没有使用那个工具,我们可能根本无法完成这项工作。直到后来我们才意识到,如果我们利用了工具箱里的东西,我们就可以完成需要做的事情。 在军队里,我们有时不得不接受一门自信课程。作为一个团队,我们必须跨越沟渠、攀登塔或一些类似的挑战。我们被分配了一些物品来完成这项任务,比如一些绳子、几块木板和一条毯子。起初,这个挑战似乎是不可能的。然而,每一次都有一个解决办法。给我们的东西是关键。 在美国内战中有一个幽默又悲伤的例子,就是没有使用现成的东西。联邦军队的领导人是乔治·麦克莱伦将军(General George McClellan)。他的部队爱戴他,但他是个过于谨慎的人。他没有冒任何风险。安提特姆之战是美国历史上单日死亡人数最多的战斗。麦克莱伦本可以为北方赢得一场伟大的胜利。有人说,从长远来看,他本可以在那天赢得战争,拯救许多人的生命。然而,麦克莱伦没有利用这一形势,撤回了自己的军队。他认为他的士兵需要并且应该休息。 亚伯拉罕·林肯总统非常沮丧。他给将军写了一封信,上面写着: “如果你不想用军队,我应该把他们都借过来一段时间。”(“If you don’t want to use the Army, I should like to borrow it for a while.”) 我相信麦克莱伦不喜欢总司令的讽刺。但重点是。总统想让他的将军利用他能得到的一切。这就是为什么林肯让他负责并把北方军队交给他的原因。在林肯的眼里,麦克莱伦好像不知道他有什么可以支配的东西,一些非常强大的东西,可以让他取得胜利。(麦克莱伦后来被尤利西斯·s·格兰特(Ulysses S. Grant)取代,格兰特是一位更加大胆的领导人,领导北方取得了胜利。) 在属灵的生活中,每一个信徒都被赋予一种工具——如果你愿意的话,就是力量——来取得属灵的胜利。保罗在《罗马书》8章11节讨论过。他说,那使耶稣从死里复活的圣灵,也活在每个信徒的心里。这种能力可以使我们从罪的奴役中解放出来,并在我们的生命中结出圣灵的果实。这样的生命将在来世得到极大的奖赏(罗8:17) 这是难以置信的力量。但是有多少信徒不知道他们可以使用这个“工具”呢?有多少人像麦克莱伦一样不使用它?许多信徒认为,通往灵性健康的途径是通过律法的规则。其他人可能认为这是通过情感或宗教体验。还有一些人可能认为敬虔根本不重要,因为信徒知道无论如何他都会在神的国里。为什么要使用这样的工具呢? 我们有一支强大的“军队”。我们应该透过《圣经》中所见,求神的灵使我们更像基督。我们应该求主借着他的灵藉着我们活着。我们甚至应该要求圣灵改变我们的思想(罗12:1-2)。 如果我们不这样做,我可以想象,在基督的审判台上,主会对我们说一些类似于林肯对麦克莱伦说的话。我相信那不会是讽刺。然而,它会给我们带来痛苦。也许主会说一个低调版本的林肯的话。像这样:“我已将我的灵赐给你们。你为什么不用祂呢?”

La recompensa de un mendigo

February 21, 2023 by Kathryn Wright in Su Gracia Gratuita - Bienaventuranzas, Lucas 16, Recompensas, Sufrimiento
En Lucas 16:19-31, el Señor cuenta una historia fascinante sobre un hombre rico y un mendigo llamado Lázaro. Comienza la historia pintando una imagen gráfica de los dos. El hombre rico viste de púrpura, come opíparamente y vive con suntuosidad. En marcado contraste, el mendigo enfermo está sentado frente a la puerta del rico, hambriento,

Ufaj, że Bóg jest mądry (Hiob 38-42)

February 21, 2023 by Shawn Lazar in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi
Słyszałem o takim powiedzeniu, że każdy albo znajduje się w trakcie burzy, albo wkracza w burzę czy też z niej wychodzi. Życie jest pełne burz. A ludzie mają różne zdania na temat tego, jak przez nie przejść – tak jak na przykład przyjaciele Hioba. Księga Hioba prezentuje wiele odmiennych zdań na temat danej sytuacji i

Ang Mga Gantimpala Ng Isang Pulubi

February 21, 2023 by Kathryn Wright in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Sa Lukas 16:19-31, ang Panginoon ay may kinuwentong isang nakahahalinang kwento tungkol sa isang mayamang lalaki at isang pulubing nagngangalang Lazaro. Sinimulan Niya ang kwento sa grapikong paglalarawan sa dalawa. Ang mayaman ay nakasuot ng lilang lino, kumakain nang masagana at namumuhay sa karangyaan. Samantala ang sakiting pulubi ay nakaupo sa labas ng pintuan ng

A Mother’s Fierce Love (Isa 49:15) 

February 21, 2023 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1 John 3:1, discipline, Isa 49:15, mother
Recently, I saw a video that I am sure many of you saw as well. A young mother was pushing her baby in a carriage down a street in a large US city. The driver of a car purposely swerved to hit the woman and her baby. You could not see the baby, but you

Neun aktuelle Themen der Freien Gnade

February 20, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Freie Gnade im Brennpunkt
Ein Freund schickte mir ein Exemplar einer Broschüre von Fred Chay aus dem Jahr 2009 mit dem Titel „The Glorious Grace of God: Understanding Free Grace Theology“(„Die wunderbare Gnade Gottes: Die Theologie der freien Gnade verstehen“) Ich stimmte mit vielem, was er schrieb, überein. Aber ich fand auch einige Punkte, mit denen ich nicht einverstanden

Ci saranno abbienti e non abbienti nel Regno di Gesù?

February 20, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Grazia Gratuita - Luca 19:16-26, Matteo 6:19-21, Ricompense Eterne
Un amico pastore mi ha fatto questa domanda: “Ho una domanda con cui ho difficoltà da un po’ di tempo – ci saranno poveri in cielo? Forse non tanta povertà, ma abbienti e non abbienti? Vedremo quelli che hanno di più e desidereremo di aver vissuto delle vite migliori, oppure vedremo quelli che hanno di

Does Matthew 18:15-17 Forbid Going Directly to the Elders About a Doctrinal Matter? 

February 20, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Matthew 18:15-17, Titus 3:10
LT writes, Dear Bob, When I have encountered serious doctrinal differences with someone’s Biblical teaching, I have raised this issue with others and not always directly with the teacher himself.  I have been informed that not trying to resolve doctrinal differences with the teacher first is a violation of Matthew 18:15-17. Is that a correct

Послание к Римлянам было написано в целях евангелизма? (Рим 5:16)

February 19, 2023 by Ken Yates in Бесплатный дар благодати - Оправдание, Осуждение, Праведность, Римлянам 5:16, Суд
Послание к Римлянам часто напоминает книгу, говорящую о том, как спастись от озера огненного. Многие евангелистические брошюры используют разные стихи из этого послания, чтобы рассказать неверующему, как ему спастись от ада. И если совместить это с тенденцией многих людей видеть весь Новый Завет как книгу, написанную для этой цели, неудивительно, что многие христиане трактуют большое
