When Were the Eleven Disciples Born Again? 

May 16, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - John 1:41, John 1:45, John 1:49, John 2:11
Tom asked this question. He said he has asked many people this question, and the answers have been quite varied. Some said they were born again before the ministry of John the Baptist. Some said they came to faith through John’s ministry. Others said that they came to faith when Jesus called them to be

Confessing Sin Vs. Excusing Sin 

May 13, 2022 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Confession, Sin
Family life—at least our family life—involves a lot of confession. Certainly, my wife and I confess our sins to each other (and I seem to have to do that more frequently than her). I also regularly confess when I’ve done something wrong to the kids—usually blowing my top and yelling. I ask them to forgive

Reviewing Books: A Powerful But Neglected Ministry 

May 12, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - The value of book reviews
Paul emailed me with a suggestion. He thought we should make an audiobook of Absolutely Free by Zane Hodges. I like the idea, and we are considering doing that book, as well as books by Ken, Shawn, and me, read by ourselves. More about that in a future blog. I looked at one audiobook by

Paul Zahl on Listening

May 11, 2022 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - gracious discipleship, listening, one-way love
Knowing that God hears me is one of my most comforting thoughts. He hears me when I cry out to Him in whatever situation I am in, especially in my distress. As the Psalmist said: In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His

Beware of Confusing Explanations of John 3:16 

May 10, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Commitment salvation, John 3:16, saving faith
C.S. points out a major issue in study Bibles and commentaries:  So, I just received a new study Bible, and I am curious about the thoughts being presented in it regarding John 3:16. It states that in the New Testament, belief denotes more than intellectual assent to a fact. I don’t necessarily agree with that;

Results Will Vary (Ephesians 5:10,18)

May 9, 2022 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Discipleship, Ephesians, will of God
I often say one of the hardest things about Christian living is not choosing between right and wrong but between good, better, and best. How do you know what is the best course of action? Paul recognized there were no easy answers: for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord;

What Did Jesus Purchase by His Death on the Cross? 

May 6, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Christ’s death for our sins, Penal substitutionary atonement
A podcast/radio listener named Charles asks a great question: I have a question that I’d like to get your opinion on. I’ve been taught that Jesus paid my penalty of death. Jesus died bodily. So, by my reasoning, the penalty of sins is physical death. But if Jesus paid the penalty, then we shouldn’t still die physically. If his bodily

Does God Literally Forget Our Sins?

May 5, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - God forgets our sins, Hebrews 8:12
R. S. asks, evidently in response to a blog I wrote in the past, this question: So then when Scriptures say that He will remember our sin no more, that wasn’t true? Heb. 8:12 says, “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” Or

Are There Saving Promises That Are Not Clearly Irrevocable? 

May 4, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Acts 10:43, Object of Saving Faith, works salvation
A friend, A. D., sent me a quote from a seminary professor who argues that there are saving promises in the NT that are not clearly irrevocable. Or, stated differently, that professor argues that one can believe in Jesus for the forgiveness of his past sins only and be saved. Here is a portion of

Why Does God Allow Believers Who Stray to Have Prosperous Lives? 

May 2, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Galatians 6:7-9, James 5:19-20
MS wonders: How is someone like John MacArthur able to have such a prosperous ministry in light of the fact that he seemed to believe the faith-alone message in the past but no longer does?  Where do God’s chastening, discipline, and temporal judgement come in for a believer who moves from teaching the truth to
