A Mathematical Equation 

October 4, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - 1 Peter 1:5-11, rewards, Sanctification
It has been a very long time, but when I was in college, I took a lot of math courses. I have forgotten 90 percent of what I was taught, but I vaguely remember one thing. You can add something to one side of a mathematical equation as long as you add the same thing

Detrás de la sonrisa

October 3, 2024 by Ken Yates in Su Gracia Gratuita - 1 Juan 3:18, Amor, Hiposcresía, Verdad
Era una foto que desprendía amor y devoción. No es difícil entender por qué ganó el Premio Pulitzer en 1973. Bob Stirm, un piloto de la Fuerza Aérea, había regresado a los Estados Unidos después de cinco años y medio como prisionero de guerra en Vietnam del Norte. Esos años estuvieron llenos de tortura y

Erezia șoimului cu coadă roșie

October 3, 2024 by Kathryn Wright in Har Gratuit: Păstrează harul în centrul atenției
Nu demult, mă plimbam cu soțul meu printr-un parc natural din apropiere când am auzit strigătul unui vultur venind din pădure. Soțul meu și unchiul său, care este zoolog, împărtășesc o dragoste pentru animale. Acest lucru înseamnă că de multe ori primesc mici lecții despre natură în timpul drumețiilor noastre și, așa cum era de

Palabas lamang

October 3, 2024 by Ken Yates in Ang Tinig ng Biyaya
Ito ay isang larawang nag-uumapaw ng pag-ibig at debosyon. Madaling makita kung bakit ang larawang ito ay nanalo ng Gantimpalang Pulitzer noong 1973. Bumalik si Bob Stirm, isang piloto ng Hukbong Himpapawid, sa Estados Unidos matapos ang lima’t may kalahating taong bilanggo ng digmaan sa Hilagang Vietnam. Ang mga taong ito ay puno ng tortyur

How Do We Know Everlasting Life Is Everlasting? 

October 3, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eternal Security, OSAS
One of my seminary professors and the person who ordained me, Dr. Charles Ryrie, famously quipped that if everlasting life could be lost, then it has the wrong name. There are various ways in which people who do not believe in eternal security get around Dr. Ryrie’s objection. Here are two common ways: 1) Everlasting

Краснохвостая ересь

October 2, 2024 by Kathryn Wright in Бесплатный дар благодати - 1 Кор 2:1-5, Бесплатный дар против дел, Спасение, Удобная вера
Недавно мы с мужем гуляли в местном общественном парке, когда вдруг услышали, как раздался орлиный крик из леса. Так как мой муж и его дядя-зоолог оба любят животных, во время прогулок мне часто дают уроки естествознания, и, разумеется, мой муж принялся рассказывать мне о малоизвестном факте касательно предполагаемого крика орла. Я была в шоке, узнав,

Odkupienie Hioba

October 2, 2024 by Kathryn Wright in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi - Hioba 19:25-27, Odkupienie, Psalm 72:14
W jednym z donioślejszych fragmentów Starego Testamentu dotyczących zmartwychwstania, Hiob głosi: Lecz ja wiem, że Odkupiciel mój żyje i że jako ostatni nad prochem stanie! Że potem, chociaż moja skóra jest tak poszarpana, uwolniony od swego ciała będę oglądał Boga. Tak! Ja sam ujrzę go i moje oczy zobaczą go, nie kto inny. Moje nerki

L’eresia “dalla coda rossa”

October 2, 2024 by Kathryn Wright in Grazia Gratuita - 1Co 2:1-5, Dono gratuito vs Opere, Fede comoda, Salvezza
Di recente, stavo passeggiando con mio marito nel locale parco statale quando abbiamo sentito lo strido di un’aquila provenire dal bosco. Mio marito e suo zio, zoologo, condividono l’amore per gli animali. Questo significa che spesso mi ritrovo a ricevere piccole lezioni sulla natura durante le nostre passeggiate e, infatti, mio marito ha proseguito col

Success in Fishing Doesn’t Come Free 

October 2, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - belief, Disciple, Grace, John 1:37-42, Mark 1:16-20, Works
One of the characteristics of Free Grace Theology is that it makes a distinction between a believer and a disciple. A believer is somebody who has believed in Jesus for eternal life. They receive it as a gift. Works play no part in it whatsoever. A disciple is a believer who follows Christ in obedience.

红尾异端

October 2, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in 聚焦恩典 - 《哥林多前书》2:1-5, 救恩, 易信主义, 白白的恩典VS行为
最近,我和丈夫在当地的州立公园散步时,听到树林里传来一声鹰鸣。我丈夫和他的叔叔是动物学家,他们都喜欢动物。这意味着我经常在散步时得到一些自然知识,果然,我丈夫接着告诉了我一个鲜为人知的关于老鹰叫声的事实。 我震惊地发现,我们听到的并不是鹰的叫声,而是红尾鵟(red-tailed hawk)的叫声。他说,由于好莱坞的影响,我们通常会把鵟的叫声误认为是鹰的叫声。鹰的叫声其实很轻,更接近海鸥的叫声。相比之下,鵟的叫声更有力量。 因为鹰是美国的象征,所以人们认为鹰应该有强有力的叫声,因此鹰的真实声音被电影和娱乐业认为是不可接受的。为了提升美国的形象,大多数关于鹰的电影和音频描述都用红尾鵟的豪迈叫声取代了鹰的柔和叫声。其结果是,一代又一代的美国人在野外听到老鹰的叫声时,却无法辨别其真实的叫声。谎言的重复让真相变得面目全非。 当我听到关于红尾鵟的这个事实时,我想起了使徒保罗的话: 弟兄们,从前我到你们那里去,并没有用高言大智对你们宣讲上帝的奥秘。 2 因为我曾定了主意,在你们中间不知道别的,只知道耶稣基督并他钉十字架。 3 我在你们那里时,又软弱,又惧怕,又战战兢兢。 4 我说的话、讲的道不是用委婉智慧的言语,而是以圣灵的大能来证明, 5 为要使你们的信不靠着人的智慧,而是靠着上帝的大能。(《林前》2:1-5)。 当保罗对哥林多人说话时,他提醒他们自己第一次来到他们中间时的行为。保罗不是带着敬拜乐队和烟雾机来的。他也不是一个好的演讲者。他没有像当时的希腊哲学家一样,带着人类的智慧来到他们中间。相反,他带着软弱而来,传讲基督的质朴和祂的死。亨特在谈到这段话时说: 使徒(保罗)指出,当他来到他们中间传耶稣基督的福音时,他并没有以卓越的言语或智慧来向[他们]宣告上帝的见证。保罗描述的是他的日常习惯,这对沉浸在希腊哲学中的哥林多人来说可能更引人注目。祂的信息是清晰而简单的……因为基督受难,祂可以向任何相信祂的人保证永生。(德怀特·亨特,“《哥林多前书》”,《恩典新约注释》,353页,强调内容作者标出)。 遗憾的是,保罗的态度并不总是反映在当今的教会中。许多人并不满足于简单的救恩信息。他们用他们认为更令人印象深刻、更有力量的信息取代了唯有信心才能获得永生的信息。但悔改代替了信心,这不是礼物,而是付出一切。这不是恩典,而是行为。人们往往推崇被高举的圣坛和大规模的复兴运动,而像儿童一般的信心却被忽视或被视为低人一等。就像好莱坞一样,许多教会和牧师认为永生是白白赐予的信息过于软弱无力,于是用异端邪说的浮华和魅力来取而代之。当白白恩典的人谈论永生的礼物时,他们会被嘲笑为教导 “易信主义”。 换句话说,就像真正的老鹰的呼唤一样,对于那些只听过合成版本的人来说,恩典的信息显得过于简单和无力。因此,救世主温柔的呼召——“凡信祂的,不至灭亡,反得永生”——被认为是不够的,取而代之的是基于行为救恩的红尾巴异端邪说。 即使是信徒,在宣讲救恩的信息时也会膨胀起来。因此,使徒保罗提供了一个重要的学习榜样。我们不需要夸大恩典的信息,让主看起来很好。我们也不需要大的舞台,也不需要在 YouTube 上有一百万个赞。我们不需要成为最伟大的演说家,当然也不需要为福音添枝加叶来让人们注意到祂。主不需要世人的智慧来强化救恩的信息。在它的质朴中,祂被放大了。我最喜欢的一位白白恩典教师曾经说过: 西奈山上所有的电闪雷鸣所带来的激励力量,都无法与髑髅地山上那微弱却有力的上帝恩典之声相提并论。
