Wzbudzony z martwych aby biec – List do Filipian

10Żeby poznać jego i moc jego zmartwychwstania [ἀνάστασις, anastasis] oraz swój udział w jego cierpieniach, upodabniając się do jego śmierci; 11Abym jakimkolwiek sposobem dostąpił powstania z martwych [ἐξανάστασις, exanastasis].12 Nie żebym to już osiągnął albo już był doskonały, ale dążę, aby pochwycić to, do czego też zostałem pochwycony przez Chrystusa Jezusa. 13 Bracia, ja o […]

Существуют разные благие вести для людей из разных культур?

Название интервью, которое также является названием и этого блога, было взято из ответа Бэйли на вопрос “Как глубокое понимание культуры может содействовать возвещению Евангелия и ученичеству?” Что имел […]

Das ewige Heil und Abraham

Was hat Abraham geglaubt? Was war der Inhalt seines Glaubens an Gott? Glaubte er Gott, dass er viele Enkel und Urenkel haben würde, oder hatte er auch das ewige Heil im Sinn? Als Abraham glaubte, könnte er an Gott wegen etwas Ewigem geglaubt haben? Ich wünschte, es gäbe einen eindeutigen Vers, der diese Fragen beantwortet. […]

October 28, 2022 by Ken Yates in Blog - Ishmael, Jeremiah 41, Obedience
Do you ever think you can improve on what the Lord has said

In Jeremiah 41 there’s an interesting account of a man named Ishmael. This man is obviously evil. He is invited to a meal at the home of Gedaliah, the newly installed governor of Judah. Ishmael brings some men with him and during the meal they kill their host and all the other dinner guests. But […]

对这群人来说好消息是什么

在2022年9月出版的《今日基督教(Christianity Today)》中有篇对贾斯汀•贝利(Justin Ariel Bailey) 的采访,他写了一本有关神学和文化的书。 这篇采访的题目就是本博客的题目,出自贝利对一个问题的回答,这个问题是“对文化的深度理解如何有助于我们传福音和作门徒?” 贝利是什么意思?他认为不同文化的人要用不同的福音信息吗? “对这群人来说好消息是什么?”这个问题的答案并没有在采访中解释。贝利的确在书的接下来的内容中说,“还有一个更敏感的事实是,文化不能被简化为思想,文化上的作门徒过程必须超越简单地给人们正确的信息”(74页) 贝利对福音也是这么想的吗?文化福音需要“超越简单地给人们正确的信息”吗?似乎这就是他的建议。 我找到了一个播客(听这里),他在里面说,我们是安全的,因为 “上帝承诺对我们信实”,“因为耶稣为我们做了什么。”这听起来不错。但在同一次采访中之后他说,仅仅因为“我们有所有正确的答案”,我们就不安全。 我还发现了他在《今日基督教 》上写的一篇文章,题为《怀疑不要骄傲》(见这里),他在文章中说,“我是在一个强调确定性、决断时刻和《圣经》的明确性而不是经验性的宗教环境中长大的。这些重点与其说是不正确,不如说是不完整。想要站在一个坚实的基础上,或试图从一个稳定的基础上探索世界,这没有什么错。”他接着说:“但生活充满了锋利的边缘,可以刺破我们的控制幻想。至少这是我在去大城市上大学时的发现,我开始与怀疑作斗争,并开始在事工部门工作。” 我不清楚贝利对一个人必须做什么才能获得永生的看法。这个困扰我。他的问题”对这些人来说,什么是好消息?”也让我困扰。这是我们不应该问的问题。 《约翰福音》3:16是任何文化背景的人的福音。我们没有因为文化而改变的信息。我们有贝利成长过程中的确信,但没有他在大学和神学院所学会接纳的那种怀疑。好消息是,那些相信耶稣的人有永生,永远不会灭亡。当我们分享信息时,我们当然需要对文化有敏感性,但我们不会因文化而改变信息。好消息是不变的。   i在编辑这篇博客时,肯·耶茨问,“你确定他把传福音和作门徒看作不同的事吗?”这个观点很好。他可能同很多人一样把传福音与作门徒合并起来了。 ___ 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)。

Cuando las malas noticias son buenas

Cuando se leen comentarios sobre el libro de Jeremías, los capítulos 30-33 suelen llamarse el Libro de la Consolación. Esto se debe a que esos capítulos contienen muy buenas noticias para los judíos. Hablan de cuando Cristo regresará, establecerá su reino, les dará un nuevo pacto y los reunirá de todas las naciones del mundo. […]
