Nang ako ay sampung taong gulang, dumalo ako sa isang reunion ng pamilya sa Kentucky. Dalawang malayong pinsan ang dumating sa reunion. Magkapatid sila at halos kaedad ko sila. Hindi ko pa sila nakita ngunit masaya kaming naglaro sa parke. Napakabait nila ngunit kakaiba sila. Pareho silang ngumunguya ng tabako at dura ng dura ng […]
I like Garry Friesen’s book, Decision Making and the Will of God. He suggests that God’s moral will for us is found in Scripture. Anything not discussed in Scripture is a matter of freedom. For example, a believer can choose any job except those forbidden by Scripture (e.g., hit man, thief, prostitute, pimp, drug dealer). […]
By Ken Yates In Matt 7:15, the Lord warns us about false prophets. They can come to us in sheep’s clothing but are wolves. In other words, sometimes people can look good when, in fact, they are evil. People who teach evil things can appear to be godly. Wolves can look like sheep. It is […]
By Art Farstad1 Many well-meaning Christians are not well taught on this supremely important and practical subject. A common phrase heard in Christendom (and sadly even by supposedly evangelical Christians) is, “I’m a Christian, but I’m no saint.” The idea is that while we can expect a person to go to church, give money, and […]
By Bob Vacendak Is assurance of salvation “of the essence of saving faith” in the Gospel of John? Of course, when we say of the essence we mean: “Is assurance of salvation a necessary part of saving faith?” Since the Reformation, scholars have debated the assurance of salvation. The crux of the issue is: Can […]
By Kathryn Wright Recently, I have read some writings by Bible teachers who say we can determine true believers by what they say. These teachers propose that Isaiah does that by describing the language a believer uses and what a believer does with his lips. It is then maintained that the NT Book of James […]
By Mike Lii1 Introduction Free Grace theology is unified around the concepts that (a) salvation is by faith in some truth about Jesus and (b) this salvation, when received, can never be lost (eternal security). However, Free Grace theologians do not all agree upon (1) the truth about Jesus that must be believed in order […]
By Vince Deegan When Free Grace folks tell unbelievers what they must believe to have eternal life—that is, to be saved from the lake of fire and live in the kingdom of God forever—we tell them they must believe in the gift and the Giver. The gift is eternal life. The Giver is Jesus Christ. […]
By Zane Hodges1 On one occasion, described in John 1:19-27, John the Baptist was visited by an important official delegation from the religious leadership of Jerusalem. Speculation had mounted that this Elijah-like prophet might be the Messiah Himself (cf. Luke 3:15). If ever there was a golden opportunity for John to “blow his own horn,” […]
By Bob Wilkin O. O. (not 7) writes: “You continue to see individual passages saying one is saved by faith. But nowhere do they say by faith alone.” In January of 1996, I debated a Church of Christ evangelist on justification by faith alone. One of his points was that the only place in the […]
Over the last few blogs, I have been discussing each of the crowns mentioned in the NT. The reason I have done so is that...
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out (John 6:37). The...
