By Ken Pierce Matthew 11:1-15 and Luke 7:18-23 record parallel accounts of a fascinating exchange between Messiah and two disciples of Yochannan ben Zecharyah (John, the son of Zechariah, better known as John the Baptist or, more accurately, John the Baptizer), in which Jesus relayed a covert message to his incarcerated cousin. Herod Antipas had […]

By Mike Lii and Bob Wilkin Introduction Have you heard it charged that those of us who accept the Focused Free Grace position teach “easy believism”? Those who level such a charge usually mean that we make salvation too easy by not requiring that people turn from their sins, commit their lives to Christ, and […]

By Ken Yates Introduction The 1995 Chicago Bulls were quite a team. They were a historically successful team. Not only did they win the NBA championship, but they did something no other team had done during the regular season.

By Art Farstadi “What a beautiful service!” is a comment you often hear after a fine public worship gathering. But we shouldn’t be dependent solely for our spiritual nourishment on weekly or bi-weekly services at church. We need “Christian” vitamins every day! It is appalling how many believers don’t follow the advice of the (true) […]

By Mike Lii Introduction At the 1997 Grace Evangelical Society National Conference, Zane Hodges gave a message titled, “Assurance Is of the Essence of Saving Faith.”1 His title differs from “Assurance Is the Essence of Saving Faith” only by the addition of the word of. This has led many to confuse the two statements. GES, […]

Нужно ли верить в Иисуса

Между тем, продолжая путь, они приехали к воде; и евнух сказал: вот вода; что препятствует мне креститься? Филипп же сказал ему: если веруешь от всего сердца, можно. Он сказал в ответ: верую, что Иисус Христос есть Сын Божий. (Деян 8:36-37) Сегодня я читал буклет, в котором автор использовал стих в Деяниях 8:37 для подкрепления своих […]

Trebaš li vjerovati u Isusa “svim svojim srcem“ da bi bio spašen?

Idući svojim putem stigoše do neke vode; i reče eunuh: “Gle, evo vode; što me priječi da se krstim?” I reče Filip: “Ako vjeruješ svim svojim srcem, možeš.” I odgovori on, rekavši: “Vjerujem da je Isus Krist Sin Božji.” (Djela apostolska 8:36-37). Danas sam čitao knjižicu koja je koristila Djela 8:37 kao dokazni tekst. Nakon […]

Il riscatto di Giobbe

In uno dei grandi passi dell’AT riguardanti la risurrezione, Giobbe proclama: Ma io so che il mio Redentore vive e che alla fine si leverà sulla terra. Dopo che questa mia pelle sarà distrutta, nella mia carne vedrò Dio. Lo vedrò io stesso; i miei occhi lo contempleranno, e non un altro. Il mio cuore […]

How hard is it to find wisdom

In the book of Proverbs, wisdom is sometimes pictured as a person. She calls out for people to listen to what she says. The book is full of teachings that, if followed, will result in peace and life. We might say that wisdom cries out to us to live in such a way that we […]

La redención de Job (3)

En uno de los grandes pasajes del Antiguo Testamento relativos a la Resurrección, Job proclama: Yo sé que mi Redentor vive, Y al fin se levantará sobre el polvo; Y después de deshecha esta mi piel, En mi carne he de ver a Dios; Al cual veré por mí mismo, Y mis ojos lo verán, […]
