Is My Testimony Common or Uncommon?

March 27, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Christian testimony
I’ve been teaching a Sunday school class entitled “Answering Your Bible Questions.” Each week I answer four or five questions. One of them was this question about testimonies. Based on my experience of 49 years in the ministry (1974 to presenti), I have found these are three major elements found in most testimonies: Before I

The Impact of One Person 

March 24, 2023 by Kathryn Wright in Blog - apostasy, family, rewards, Suffering
In Hebrews 11, we are met with list of Biblical figures who exemplify what it means to walk by faith and not by sight (11:1). Ultimately, we see in these people believers willing to pay the price of following the Lord, and who did so in order to receive a better resurrection and reward (11:6,

Was Zane Hodges’s View of the Saving Message Misguided, Anemic, Inconsistent, and Evasive? Part 2 

March 23, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Perseverance, Ruling with Christ, Zane Hodges
A 2019 doctoral paper by Nicholas James Claxton (available online—see here) is entitled “Faith Without Works: The Gospel According to Zane Hodges.” In part 1, we considered Claxton’s first three objections to Hodges. Now we will discuss his other four objections: 4. “To limit the content of faith to Christ’s guarantee of eternal life seems

Was Zane Hodges’s View of the Saving Message Misguided, Anemic, Inconsistent, and Evasive? Part 1

March 22, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Repentance, saving faith, Zane Hodges
A 2019 doctoral paper by Nicholas James Claxton (available online—see here) is entitled “Faith Without Works: The Gospel According to Zane Hodges.” Claxton’s paper is irenic in tone. In his conclusion, he raises seven objections to the views and exegetical method of Hodges. I’ll briefly answer three objections in part one and the other four

The Mercy of the Lord (Psalm 106) 

March 21, 2023 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - discipline, Forgiveness, Mercy, Psalm 106
Psalm 106 is, in one sense at least, like the speech of Stephen right before he is stoned to death by the Jews in Acts 7. The psalmist reviews the history of the Jewish people. It is not a pretty picture. He speaks of their many sins. These sins included complaining against God, idolatry, sacrificing

Is Everlasting Life Everlasting?

March 20, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Eternal Security, Everlasting Life
Chris from West Virginia asks an important question: I found myself Googling, “What is eternal life in Greek,” and stumbled upon a Quora forum where someone had asked the same question. The first answer…I found [was] not only concerning, but confusing. Does Eternal Life NOT mean eternal life? Chris gave a lengthy quote that can

Believing What You Hear (Mark 7:25)

March 17, 2023 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Faith, Sanctification
To believe something is to be convinced that it is true. To believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life is to be convinced that He gives it to you by faith in Him alone. But there are many other things that the believer is called to believe in after he has received eternal life. When

Have You Seen the Movie Jesus Revolution? 

March 16, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Chuck Smith, Jesus People, Jesus Revolution
I like to get my news from a variety of platforms. Online I prefer Yahoo and Breitbart News Network. An article by John Nolte on Breitbart caught my attention: Jesus Revolution Grosses More Than 4 Oscar Nominees Combined. See here. Nolte cites these movie profits from U.S. theaters: The Banshees of Inisherin– $5 million The

Looking at the Hands of the Lord (Mark 7:5)

March 15, 2023 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Grace, legalism
Many times, I have seen paintings of Jesus that emphasize His hands. Usually, they are reaching out, as if He is inviting people to come to Him. When you think about the hands of the Lord, what do you see? In Mark 6:30-39, Jesus feeds a large multitude of people with a few pieces of

Does Easy Believism Really Teach Works Salvation? 

March 14, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Faith as a gift, John 5:39-40
L. A. writes: Hi Bob, I have heard James White say non-Calvinists or people who don’t believe in election to eternal life, are really saying it is not all of God saving, because their faith is contributing to their salvation. I was a little surprised to hear John MacArthur agrees. He gave a sermon on
