Dear Mr. Wilkin, Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I must say first of all thank you for your continued support of my Christian walk and for the excellent materials that you have sent. I failed in not sending you a thank you letter and I must apologize for my

“Easy Believism.” That is one of the more common pejorative labels given to the Grace Gospel these days. The implication is that anything that’s as easy as simply believing can’t be that valuable. If we don’t put a high price on salvation, then people won’t appreciate it enough. Rather than simply invite people to believe

by Rob Caines The Council of Trent, in response to the Reformers’ doctrine of justification by faith alone, states the following: If anyone says that justifying faith is nothing else but confidence in the divine mercy which remits sin for Christ’s sake alone; or, that this confidence alone is that whereby we are justified, let

Recently in my daily Bible reading I came upon Luke 5:36-39. This text involves two parables which I had never studied before: the parables of the new garment and of the new wine.

by Charlie Bing Two thousand years ago a very frightened man asked a very simple question: “What must I do to be saved?” The original answer was as short and simple as the question: “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.” Leave it to us theologians to twist this into a

Recently I have had discussions with three different friends who are pastors about a verse in the shortest book in the New Testament (in terms of verses—3 John is slightly shorter in terms of words used). Many Christians have never heard a sermon or a lesson on Second John. Thus very few believers have heard

I have made a couple of attempts to write out my testimony, but it is still very painful for me to “relive” the 25 year period in which I was in bondage to false teaching concerning the Gospel and “estranged” from my dear Savior. During this time I made many attempts to be totally and

A few years ago, a popular recording artist was crooning it: “Love is in the air…” Today, this seems to be the refrain in theological circles. Rather than focusing on distinctives, the emphasis is on loving reconciliation at any cost. Some evangelicals are now pushing for unity with Roman Catholics. The concern of these leaders
