For most people in the US, the southern border is an area of grave concern. There is a sharp increase in human trafficking in our country. A flood of deadly drugs is pouring across the border, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans each year. With eight million people coming into the […]
Ravi Zacharias, noto teologo americano, è morto nel Maggio del 2020. Il suo ministero mondiale era incentrato sull’apologetica, che consiste nel difendere la fede cristiana. Era un autore e un oratore molto apprezzato nel mondo evangelico. Milioni di evangelici lo consideravano un collega di valore. Tutto cambiò poco dopo la sua morte. Si scoprì che […]
This question came up in my Sunday School class yesterday. It is an excellent question. A man came to Jesus and said, “Lord, I will follow You, but first let me go and bid them farewell who are at my house” (Luke 9:61). The Lord replied, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, […]
一位读者给我发了一段格里尔(J. D. Greear)牧师讲雅各书2章的视频。在这段信息中,格里尔评论雅 2:13,他说:”你不可能得到神赦免你的罪时所给你的怜悯,却不怜悯别人”(见此处 25:45)。他接着举了一个例子:一个人被一辆 18 轮汽车碾过,却毫发无损。他说这是不可能的。他说:”你不可能被那种力量撞到还毫发无损”(27:45)。他的意思是,一个人不可能被上帝的拯救之力击中而保持不变。重生的人与未得救的人在外表和行为上都是不同的。 他说得对吗? 重生的人看起来不一样吗? 你能通过观察一个人几个小时来判断他是否重生了吗? 你能通过观察自己几个小时来判断自己是否重生了吗? 所有这些问题的答案都是 “不能”。不能保证重生的人与未信者看起来有什么不同。 我们怎么知道呢? 《圣经》告诉了我们。 保罗斥责哥林多的信徒,因为他们中的许多人仍然过着与哥林多的非信徒一样的生活: “因为你们仍是属肉体的。你们中间有嫉妒、纷争、分裂的事,岂不是属肉体的,行为像凡人吗?(林前 3:3)。希腊文中没有 “凡人 “一词。他们的行为像属血气的人(林前 2:14)。他们的行为像不信的人。 圣经中没有任何应许说信徒看起来与众不同。 如果你把自己的行为作为得救的依据,你就永远不会有得救的保证。你将终生追求。这将是一个不可能实现的梦想。为什么?因为信徒有罪(罗 3:23;约一 1:8、10)。我们都亏缺了神的荣耀。 J.D. Greear 是一位出色的演讲者。他热情洋溢,吸引听众。然而,他坚持 “主权救恩”(Lordship Salvation),这在他的讲道中体现得淋漓尽致。他说,要重生,你必须把生命交托给基督,离弃你的罪,跟随基督。i 如果你的生活不能证明你已经彻底改变,那就说明你没有被神的大能击中。 仅有良好的愿望是不够的。如果我们歪曲上帝的话语,我们所传的就不是好消息。 __________ i 见 J.

Один из наших читателей прислал мне видео с проповедью на тему второй главы Послания Иакова, которую читал Дж. Д. Гриар (англ. J. D. Greear). В ней пастор прокомментировал Иак 2:13, говоря “Не может быть такого, что человек получил Божью милость в виде прощения грехов и затем отказывается дать милость другим” (см. здесь на 25мин45сек). Далее […]
Un lector me envió un vídeo de un mensaje sobre Santiago 2 del pastor J. D. Greear. En ese mensaje, Greear comentó sobre Santiago 2:13, diciendo: “No hay manera de que puedas recibir el tipo de misericordia que Dios te dio al perdonar tus pecados y luego negar misericordia a los demás” (ver aquí en […]
– Vers 4 – Wer an Ihn glaubt, wird nicht zugrunde gehen, sondern hat das ewige Leben (Johannes 3,14-15) Und wie Mose die Schlange in der Wüste erhöht hat, so muss auch der Menschensohn erhöht werden, *damit jeder, der an ihn glaubt, nicht verloren geht, sondern ewiges Leben hat. Schlangen auf einem Stab Haben Sie […]
In April 1980, my wife and I had just moved to Wichita Falls, TX. I had to go downtown to get my telephone service turned on. I was in a room of around 100 people who were there for the same reason. Just as my name was called, a siren went off in the streets. […]
Ale bojaźliwi, niewierzący, obrzydliwi, mordercy, rozpustnicy, czarownicy, bałwochwalcy i wszyscy kłamcy będą mieli udział w jeziorze płonącym ogniem i siarką. To jest druga śmierć. (Obj 21:8) Ostatnio otrzymałem list od pastora, który zastanawiał się nad znaczeniem tego wersetu. Poniżej przedstawiam moją rozszerzoną odpowiedź na jego pytanie. Pogląd, że to dotyczy obecnego zachowania niezbawionych Wielu pastorów […]
