By Kathryn Wright INTRODUCTION Many years ago, I lived in a small town in Texas. Once a fairly affluent area, the city had fallen on hard times. Certain businesses had moved away, as had many of the wealthy citizens. Many of the town’s buildings, especially its houses, stood vacant. Beautiful Victorian-style homes lined the streets. […]

November 1, 2024   in Grace in Focus Articles

By Mike Lii In my family, I’m notorious for being a bargain hunter. I get a thrill when I can purchase a high-value item at a heavily discounted price. For example, my wife and son get hot during parts of the day during the summer months here in Texas. Why? I selected a nights-free electricity […]

By Bob Wilkin Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:42-43). Casey sent me an actual handwritten letter. He asked a series of super questions about this exchange: Did […]

By Art Farstadi Many have heard the story of the man whose devotional reading consisted of cracking his Bible at random and reading the first verse his finger touched. One morning this was his verse for the day: “And Judas went out and hanged himself.” That can’t be it, he thought. So he tried again. […]

Сила благодати

Не уверен, что я когда-либо встречался с ним лично, но меня поразил один преподаватель в моей семинарии. Его звали Джек Дир (англ. Jack Deere). Он преподавал на кафедре Ветхого Завета. Я понимаю, что это стереотип, однако в моем понимании учёные, изучающие Ветхий Завет, наиболее стойкие из всех преподавателей Библии. Они всегда казались мне более менее […]

October 31, 2024 by Ken Yates in Blog - Kingdom, Mark 4, Parable
Is the kingdom of God here now

In Mark 4, the Lord gives a series of parables that revolve around the kingdom of God. I think there are many believers who don’t realize how important a correct understanding of the kingdom of God is when it comes to interpreting the Scriptures. In a short parable, the Lord says the kingdom of God […]

ang kapangyarihan ng biyaya

Hindi ako tiyak kung nagkita kami, ngunit isang propesor sa seminaryong aking pinag-aralan ang bumibighani sa akin. Ang kaniyang pangalan ay Jack Deere. Nagtuturo siya sa departamento ng Lumang Tipan. Nauunawaan kong ito ay esteryotipo, pero sa aking isipan, ang mga iskolar ng Lumang Tipan ay ang pinakaistoiko sa lahat ng mga guro ng Biblia. […]

Spašeni bogohulnik

U nedavnom razgovoru s prijateljem saznala sam da sotonisti prakticiraju ritual u kojem javno psuju Boga kao dio svojih ceremonija štovanja. To čine i na društvenim mrežama, ne samo da bi se rugali Gospodinu i kršćanstvu, nego i zato što žele postati “nespasivi”. Rečeno im je da, ako pohule na Gospodina, nikada više neće moći […]

Among the many atrocities the Nazis committed during WW2 was the plundering of priceless Jewish heirlooms. They raided the homes of affluent Jewish families, deported them to camps, then looted their jewelry and fine art. They stole works by artists such as Van Gogh, Manet, and Rembrandt, to name just a few. This is considered […]

El poder de la Gracia22

No estoy seguro de haberlo llegado a conocer en persona, pero un profesor del seminario al que asistí me fascinaba. Su nombre era Jack Deere. Enseñaba en el departamento del Antiguo Testamento. Sé que es un estereotipo, pero en mi cabeza, los eruditos del Antiguo Testamento son los más estoicos de todos los enseñantes bíblicos. […]
