Clearing up Confusion about Heaven and Hell — Revelation 20:11–21:4

March 1, 2017 by Bob Wilkin in Grace in Focus Articles
By Bob Wilkin Most people think that they know a lot about heaven and hell. But most popular ideas about heaven and hell do not actually come from the Bible, but from Greek philosophy, especially Plato, and from medieval writings like Dante’s Inferno. Part 1: Heaven Isn’t What Most People Suppose We sing many songs

Scattered Seed (Acts 8:1-8)

March 1, 2017 by Zane Hodges in Grace in Focus Articles
By Zane C. Hodges A Time of Persecution This passage is pertinent at a time when Christians may anticipate approaching stress or persecution from an ultimate “super-church,” for it is misguided religion which most usually is hostile to the faith (cf. John 16:2). Such is represented here by Saul. 8:1. Saul is seen as sympathizing

Three Tragic Consequences of a Two-Party System

March 1, 2017 by Brad Bell in Grace in Focus Articles
By Brad Bell Protestant Theology has long been plagued by one of the same problems as American politics. Ironically, this problem has been around much longer in theology than our current government. What is it? A two-party system. Long before our modern government took form, Protestant theological discussion became gridlocked by two polarized parties—the Calvinists

Not Willing to Believe (John 5:40)

March 1, 2017 by Kenneth Yates in Grace in Focus Articles
By Ken Yates I have a confession to make. It is a confession that marks me off in many circles today as both an ignorant and an evil man. But it is: I am simply unwilling to believe the preachers of global warming. I have heard their sermons many times. Man has caused the world

Interpreting the Bible and the Sciences

March 1, 2017 by Brad Doskocil in Grace in Focus Articles
By Brad Doskocil When we study the Bible there can be a propensity to interpret it, and to judge it, in light of our understanding of the sciences. Often our understanding of physics, biology, history, or archaeology, is given greater weight as evidence than what the Bible reports. This diminishes the divine authorship and inspiration

John’s Gospel: Evangelistic or Not?

March 1, 2017 by John Niemelä in Grace in Focus Articles
By John H. Niemelä1 Believe it or not, there are rumblings against the idea that John’s Gospel is evangelistic. What does John 20:30-31 say? Thus Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book. But these signs have been written so you may believe that Jesus

Islam and Calvinism: An Uncomfortable Comparison

March 1, 2017 by Phil Congdon in Grace in Focus Articles
By Phil Congdon In a packed baseball stadium a few days after 9/11, a Christian minister stood to pray. The minister began: “We pray in the name of our God—the God of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam…” Ever since the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, politicians and celebrities had been presenting Islam

Superheroes, Easter Eggs and Biblical Literacy

March 1, 2017 by Shawn Lazar in Grace in Focus Articles
By Shawn Lazar Who’s that?” “Black Widow,” I explained to my wife. “What can she do?” “Martial arts.” “And?” “And she’s good with weapons.” “That’s it?” “Yeah, pretty much.” “But she’s fighting hundreds of robots,” my wife noted. “I know.” “So Hulk is super strong, Iron Man has his suit, Thor has all kinds of

Q&A

March 1, 2017 by Kenneth Yates in Grace in Focus Articles
Who Is the Elder Brother? Q: After reading Luke 15 over and over, I’m still sure the prodigal son is a believer returning to fellowship with Christ. But the identity of the elder son honestly confuses me. First, Jesus is telling the parable to the Pharisees who looked to their own self-righteousness. Could the elder
