De joven, estaba terriblemente confundido acerca de lo que tenía que hacer para ser salvo. Esto empezó a los 6 años, cuando mis padres me inscribieron en un club religioso de chicos. Continuó hasta el comienzo de mi último año en la universidad. Me confundían el club de chicos, la iglesia metodista a la que […]

Dlaczego nie jesteś w stanie pomóc każdemu i wręcz nie powinieneś tego nawet próbować

Nie jesteś w stanie pomóc wszystkim. Możesz chcieć pomóc. Może Ci się wydawać, że musisz pomóc. Ale twoja rzeczywista niezdolność do zaspokojenia każdej autentycznej potrzeby wokół ciebie może cię rozczarować. Przecież ludzie wokół nas cierpią, mają problemy, wyzwania i pytania, którymi trzeba się zająć. Ale czy wszystkie one muszą być rozwiązywane przez Ciebie? Bardzo chciałbyś […]

Paano Lituhin Ang Mga Taong Binabahagian Mo Ng Ebanghelyo?

Sa aking kabataan, litong lito ako kung ano ang dapat kung gawin upang maligtas. Nagsimula ito sa edad na anim nang ako ay i-enrol ng aking mga magulang sa isang club ng mga relihiyosong batang lalaki. Nagpatuloy ito hanggan sa simula ng aking pagiging senyor sa kolehiyo. Nalito ako ng pagiging miyembro ng club ng […]

La mia testimonianza è comune o insolita?22

Kathryn Wright ed io abbiamo recentemente tenuto una serie di podcast sulle testimonianze. Un ascoltatore, Mark, ha inviato un’e-mail sulla propria testimonianza. Pensi che la sua testimonianza sia insolita o comune? Mark scrive: Ho ascoltato lo spettacolo sulle tre parti di una testimonianza. L’ho trovato interessante. Ero un caso disperato cresciuto con tossicodipendenti e abusi […]

Have you considered the beauty of Christ’s hands

Many times, I have seen paintings of Jesus that emphasize His hands. Usually, they are reaching out, as if He is inviting people to come to Him. When you think about the hands of the Lord, what do you see? In Mark 6:30-39, Jesus feeds a large multitude of people with a few pieces of […]

如何把你传福音的对象弄糊涂?

当我作为一个年轻人的时候,我非常困惑我必须做什么才能得救。那是从6岁开始的,当时我父母让我参加了一个宗教男孩俱乐部。这种情况一直持续到我大四开始。 我对男孩俱乐部、我和爸爸一起去的卫理公会教堂、我偶尔和妈妈一起去的塞尔维亚东正教教堂、路德教、浸信会和我在大学里去过的社区教堂感到困惑。 在Cru工作的四年里,我遇到了数百名大学生,他们也不知道自己需要做些什么才能得救。 我想和你分享五种肯定会让你传福音的对象困惑的方法。 首先,提出一个模糊的福音说法。这包括接受基督;邀请基督进入你的生命;祈祷认罪祷告;接受他为主;接受他为救主;接受他为主和救主。如果人们对他们需要做什么感到困惑,而你给出了一个模糊的条件,他们的困惑就会继续下去。 其次,给出一个模糊的结果。谈论与耶稣基督的个人关系;有基督作你们的救主。抱着死后能进天堂的希望;如果你继续在基督徒的赛跑中奔跑,就开始走上一条通往最终救赎的道路;现在正在被拯救。这个人不会知道耶稣应许的救恩是不可挽回的,永远不会失去。 第三——这是特别有效的——给人们多个模糊的条件。我曾经听一位著名的福音传教士给出了九种得救的条件,包括接受基督为你的救主;接受他为你的主和救主;邀请他进入你的生命;把你的生命献给基督;离开你们的罪;跟从他。如果一个模糊的条件令人困惑,那么多个模糊的、有时相互冲突的条件就更令人困惑。 第四,让你的听众听大量的经文,尤其是关于成圣而不是重生的经文。 第五,另一种迷惑人的方法是错误地解释信、相信和永生等关键词。错误地解释《圣经》经文也会让人困惑。 如果你遵循了这五个简单的步骤,你就会让人们猜测他们是否得救了。 然而,一旦你知道你需要做什么来迷惑人们,你就知道了如何清楚地传福音给人们。只要做与这五步让人困惑事情相反就行。清楚地提出唯一的条件和保证的结果,就是在基督里得永生的信心,永不会丧失。找一个像《约翰福音》3:16那样的稳固经文(anchor verse),并坚持下去。如果你觉得有必要分享更多的《圣经》,让它简单一些。当你解释这一段(或几段)时,一定要准确。 主耶稣保证所有相信他的人永远不会失去永生。没有附加条件。 ___ 鲍勃·威尔金(Bob Wilkin)(达拉斯神学院神学硕士,博士)恩典福音派协会(Grace Evangelical Society)创始人及执行主任,聚焦恩典电台(Grace in Focus Radio)联合主持人。他同妻子莎伦(Sharon)住在德州高地村(Highland Village, TX)。鲍勃最新的书有《在一百节经文中的“单凭信心”(暂译)》(Faith Alone in One Hundred Verses)和《回转来活:悔改的力量(暂译)》(Turn and Live: The Power of Repentance)。

Why do Calvinists think that faith in Christ is a work

L. A. writes: Hi Bob, I have heard James White say non-Calvinists or people who don’t believe in election to eternal life, are really saying it is not all of God saving, because their faith is contributing to their salvation. I was a little surprised to hear John MacArthur agrees. He gave a sermon on […]

MAYROON KA BANG MATIGAS NA PUSO?

Isa sa kakaibang katangian ng aklat ni Marcos ay ito ang tanging Ebanghelyo na nagkomentong ang mga alagad ng Panginoon ay may matigas na mga puso. Si Marcos mismo ang nagsabi nito (6:52) at kinatigan ito ng Panginoon (8:17). Maraming nagkomento na nilarawan ng Ebanghelyo ni Marcos ang mga alagad sa mas negatibong liwanag kumpara […]

Romani fu scritto con un intento evangelistico?

Il libro dei Romani viene visto spesso come un libro che dice alle persone come essere salvate dallo stagno di fuoco. Molti volantini evangelisti usano vari versi da questo libro per dire al non credente come essere salvati. Quando si combina questo con la tendenza della maggior parte delle persone di vedere l’insieme del NT […]

What is the context of the word “Hallelujah”

Psalm 104 is a song that praises God for His creation. Every living creature benefits from what He has done. He has given us life, water, food, and places to live. He even provides us things that are not necessary for survival, such as wine and oil, in order to make our lives merrier. In […]
