Вам нужно больше чем просто библейское знание, вам нужна библейская мудрость (1)

“Если пребудете во Мне и слова Мои в вас пребудут…” (Ин 15:7) Как могут слова Иисуса пребывать в Вас? Один из способов добиться этого, это обращаться к истине, которой учил Иисус, учиться применять её к своей ситуации и затем жить соответственно. Например, Иисус учил нас молиться: «Отче наш, сущий на небесах! да святится имя Твое» […]

Is it important that we believe that Adam was not born, but was created from dust

Robin asks this compelling question: A believer friend of mine shared with me that she doesn’t “put God in a box” and that she thinks He created us any way He felt like. I was shocked that she didn’t believe in the creation of Adam as a fully developed man. Why is it important for […]

Dominando el pecado (Génesis 47)

¿Alguna vez has ido de camping y te has despertado al oír un animal arrastrándose fuera de tu tienda, rebuscando en tu campamento? Tal vez incluso encendiste tu linterna y pudiste ver la silueta amenazadora deslizándose alrededor de ti. ¿Te asustaste? Si alguna vez has experimentado eso, estarás muy familiarizado con las imágenes que rodean […]

Would a person whose heart was like the stony soil always be that way

James wrote me an actual letter and asked some excellent questions about the Parable of the Four Soils. Here is part of what he wrote: Are the four kinds of soil supposed to be static? Will a person who is very hardened to the gospel always be hardened? Would a person whose heart was like […]

Você fica obcecado com sua culpa

“A culpa é universal”, escreveu Paul Tournier, um psiquiatra cristão (Tournier, Guilt and Grace, p. 152). E de acordo com ele, você pode fazer uma de duas coisas com essa culpa: você pode reprimi-la ou reconhecê-la. Reprimir sua culpa “leva à raiva, rebelião, medo e ansiedade, um amortecimento da consciência, uma incapacidade crescente de reconhecer […]

Вы спасены навсегда или пока что

За несколько лет до того, как уйти из жизни в 2008 году, Зейн Ходжес (англ. Zane Hodges) поделился со мной в письме этим заключением, к которому он пришёл: Существует огромная, размером в пропасть, разница между этими двумя утверждениями: (1) Вы спасены пока что (2) Вы спасены навсегда Он добавил, что второе утверждение «это евангелие согласно […]

What Song Would You Like to Hear

Many years ago, I was the pastor of a military chapel. Our piano player was extremely talented. In fact, he was a member of the Army band. I know very little about music, but I know enough to know he was incredible. He played the piano by ear. He did not need sheets of music […]

Does God give us renewed life at the moment of the new birth

Terry sent me a link to a website. Evidently this has been appearing on TV as a commercial. Here is a link to the website and the article entitled, “Heaven or Not?” Five verses are cited in this article: Gen 1:1; Rom 3:23; John 3:16; 1 John 5:12-13; and Eph 2:8-9. The fact that John […]

Освобождены для любви

Многие проповедники избегают легализма в вопросе оправдания лишь для того, чтобы включить его (неосознанно) в освящение (санктификацию). То есть они преподносят христианскую жизнь как ряд заповедей к исполнению. Христианская жизнь становится попыткой выполнить тот самый «список дел», который был совершенно неспособен спасти Вас изначально. Эти проповедники забывают, что закон не имеет силы, чтобы произвести жизнь […]

Don’t Present Metaphors and Synonyms for Faith as Additional Conditions of Salvation

The one and only condition to be eternally saved is to believe. To believe means to be persuaded that something is true (see here). If you believe the saving message is true, then you are saved. There is nothing more for you to do. “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me […]
