Will Every Believer Be Praised? (1 Corinthians 4:5)

July 1, 2016 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles
I attended a conference where a main session speaker said that the statement by Paul, “then each one’s praise will come from God” (1 Cor 4:5), shows that every believer will have some good works and will receive at least some praise at the Judgment Seat of Christ (Bema). I’ve heard that claim on many

Boldness and Unity (Acts 4:23-37)

July 1, 2016 by Zane Hodges in Grace in Focus Articles
The Believers Pray for Boldness After Peter and John exhibit boldness before the Sanhedrin (vv 19-20), they are found in prayer (vv 24-30). There is no bragging about how they stood up to the Sanhedrin, for they realize it is God who grants boldness (v 29; cf. Elijah in 1 Kgs 17:1). Peter had once

Shine Your Light, Not Your Religion

July 1, 2016 by Bill Fiess in Grace in Focus Articles
There is a sense in which everything we do as human beings takes place in the sight of men. But, surprisingly, the simple Greek phrase emprothen tōn anthrōpōn, that is, before men, occurs just six times in the entire New Testament. What is most surprising, however, is that each occurrence comes from Jesus Himself. Let’s

Edifying Examples (Nehemiah 3)

July 1, 2016 by Kenneth Yates in Grace in Focus Articles
Profitable In a famous verse in 2 Timothy, Paul writes that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Tim 3:16). Paul says here that all Scripture is useful for us. This would certainly include the OT. In referring to the

The Younger Generation Cares!

July 1, 2016 by GES Webmaster in Grace in Focus Articles
By Kayla Pesce Hey all. I was reading “The Mailbag” from the first 2016 issue and decided to share some encouraging news with you and maybe a prayer request within that. I heard that you have a new “younger” member of the GES team and might possibly be trying to target a younger generation. Be

Deacons: Servants of Mercy (Acts 6:1-7)

July 1, 2016 by Shawn Lazar in Grace in Focus Articles
In his book, Ministers of Mercy: The New Testament Deacon, Alexander Strauch writes, “During the last three decades, a major revival of interest in deacons has taken place. In nearly every denomination and branch of Christianity, efforts are underway to discover God’s design for deacons” (p. 8). However, he suggests that much of that interest

The Building Block of Godliness

July 1, 2016 by Joe Lombardi in Grace in Focus Articles
Introduction In the United States physical fitness has become, according to the heading of one magazine article, “a national obsession.” That particular piece, which was published in the June 16, 1986 edition of Time was subtitled, “The U.S. Turns On to Exercise.” It began with these words: At the dawning there were isolated stragglers, determinedly
