A Real Mountaintop Experience

January 1, 2023 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles
By Gene Greeson INTRODUCTION Twenty-eight years ago, when I was 46 years old, I had set my sights on climbing Mount Everest. My plan was to accomplish that feat in the following years with a group of other climbers. While it was a lofty goal, there were reasons why I thought it was an attainable

Can a Christian Quit?

January 1, 2023 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles
By Lucas Kitchen A reader recently claimed that it would be wrong for God to force a Christian-turned-atheist into heaven because it would violate his or her free will. This raises an interesting question. This is my response to that claim. If someone has believed in Jesus for salvation, then these verses apply to him

January 1, 2023 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles
By Philippe R. Sterling BEWARE OF DOCTRINAL AND MORAL COMPROMISE There are similarities between the New Testament world and ours.

Irene

January 1, 2023 by Kenneth Yates in Grace in Focus Articles

Why Can’t We All Just Get Along?

January 1, 2023 by Kathryn Wright in Grace in Focus Articles
By Kathryn Wright Introduction The NT constantly warns disciples that the world will hate them (Matt 5:11-12; John 15:18-19). Any believer who seeks to follow the Lord in discipleship, obeying His Word, can expect opposition. We see this principle not only in the teachings of the NT, but also in the OT. An example of

Biblical Ha-Ha Moments: Part 1

January 1, 2023 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles
By Marcia Hornok At a Bible study early in our ministry, my husband, Ken, asked our group what Bible person we would most like to be. I said, “Eve, when Adam woke up.” We like to think about Scripture’s real-life events, where people expressed the emotions we know—from despair to ecstasy, from weeping1 to belly-laughing.

Why Is Christ’s Impeccability Essential?

January 1, 2023 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles
By Anneka Muller im·pec·ca·bi·li·ty (im-pe-kə-bi-lə-tē) n. 1. being free from fault or blameless: flawless; 2. not capable of sinning or liable to sin. The fact that Jesus never sinned is indisputable. But was it even possible for Him to sin? In His human nature, He was subject to temptation, and some say temptation implies the

That Is One Ugly Picture (Jeremiah 19)

January 1, 2023 by Kenneth Yates in Grace in Focus Articles
By Ken Yates INTRODUCTION There is a board game called Telestrations that my family and I love to play. A major part of the game is that the players draw a picture of a word, and the other players must guess what you drew. There is absolutely no doubt that I am the worst Telestrations

January 1, 2023 by Zane Hodges in Grace in Focus Articles
By Zane Hodges* * This article originally appeared in what was then called The Grace Evangelical Society News in the November 1989 issue. (The four-page newsletter came out monthly back then.)
