Second Corinthians 5:21 Reconsidered 

June 5, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - 2 Cor 5:9-21, righteous living, righteousness, Rom 6:10-12
Most Evangelicals are familiar with 2 Cor 5:21. The verse says that Christ was made sin so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. The most common way of understanding this verse is that when a person believes in Jesus, all his sins are placed on Christ, and Christ’s righteousness is given

The Problem of Pain and Suffering 

June 4, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 2 Cor 5:2-4, Pain, Suffering, suffering for the Lord
Why do godly believers suffer? I want to talk about what the Bible says about pain and suffering in the Christian life. I will not be defending the goodness of God. That is a given. The Scriptures are clear that God is good, and we believe God’s Word. Nor will I be defending the idea

Pray or Sleep? 

June 3, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - 2 Cor 3:18, Gethsemane, glory, Heb 4:16, Luke 9:28-32, Mount of Transfiguration
All three Synoptic Gospels discuss the Mount of Transfiguration, but only Luke mentions that the disciples went to sleep on the mountain. He is also the only one who reports that Christ prayed while the disciples slept (Luke 9:28-29, 32). Why was Jesus praying? He was setting an example for the disciples. He had just

What Does Hope Mean in the New Testament?

June 2, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Expectation, imminency, Trust
The English word hope means something that we desire to happen, but that is uncertain. I hope to complete one marathon per year until I am ninety. I hope I do not get cancer. I hope Djokovic wins a twenty-fifth major. In the Greek NT, the noun elpis and verb elpizō are typically translated as

Better Watch Out—He’s Coming Soon! First Thessalonians 5:1-11 

May 30, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 1 Thess 5-11, Gregory, Rapture, watch, Watchful
Do you remember when you realized that Santa Claus was not coming anymore? Did you ever consider that Santa Claus might be a Christ figure? I think the Santa Claus song is good theology if you substitute the Lord’s name for Santa’s: Better watch out, for the Lord Jesus Christ is coming to town. He

A Minister of Justice 

May 29, 2025 by Kathryn Wright in Blog - Forgiveness, Isa 1:17, justice
On April 2, 2025, seventeen-year-old Austin Metcalf, a student at Memorial High School in Frisco, Texas, attended a school track meet. He would not leave the event alive. While at the meet, Austin had an exchange with Karmelo Anthony, a student at one of the rival schools, Centennial High. Anthony was sitting under the wrong

Did You Know That Date-Setting for Christ’s Return Has a Long History? 

May 28, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Date-Setting, Eschatology, Millennium, Prophecy, Rapture
In preparation for a breakout session at our 2025 annual conference, I read a book called Dispensationalism Before Darby. The author, Watson, showed that the components of dispensationalism had been taught by British theologians for at least two hundred years before Darby. Something that jumped out at me in Watson’s book was a chart listing

Promised Glory (Luke 9:26-35) 

May 27, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - 2 Pet 1:16-18, glory, Heb 11:26, Luke 9:26-35, rewards, Suffering
Before Jesus took three of His disciples up the Mount of Transfiguration, He told them things they did not want to hear. He said that He would be rejected by the nation and killed (Luke 9:22). Then He told them that if they wanted to follow Him, they would need to deny what they wanted

Were Old Testament Believers Motivated by Eternal Rewards? 

May 26, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Daniel 12:2-3, Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, Hebrews 11, Old Testament Believers
Did Adam and Eve know about the doctrine of eternal rewards? What about subsequent generations? Enoch (generation seven)? Abraham (generation twenty)? Moses (generation twenty-six)? King David (generation thirty-four)? Various words are used in the OT to refer to the idea of rewards: reward, recompense, reap, and judgment are four of the most prominent. While it
