Solomon and Tolstoy on the Problem of Death and Eternity

King Solomon repeatedly pronounced that everything under the sun was vanity—it was meaningless. In an earlier blog, I said that Solomon’s argument could be put in the form of a syllogism: Premise 1: All labor is under the sun (Eccl 1:3). Premise 2: All under the sun is vanity (Eccl 1:14). Conclusion: Therefore, all labor […]

¿Cómo podemos compartir nuestra fe de tal manera que les digamos a las personas lo que necesitan escuchar, pero sin crear una conversación muy incómoda

Si tuvieras la oportunidad, ¿Qué le dirías a alguien sobre qué es lo que tiene que hacer para ser salvo de la condenación eterna? ¿Por qué esto es importante? Si alguien da las direcciones equivocadas para ir al cielo, es más que frustrante. Desde el punto de vista espiritual, los falsos evangelios alejan a las […]

Why would a church make up an evangelistic statement that is not supported by Scripture and that is not internally consistent

Today I received an email from Rick asking me to evaluate a church’s statement on what a person must do to be saved. Here is the statement he sent for me to evaluate: To be saved and forgiven, God needs two things from you, FAITH and REPENTANCE. All those who are willing to repent of, […]

Pense duas vezes antes de começar a discutir

O tempo é precioso. Você tem muito tempo para servir ao Senhor Jesus. Ao segui-Lo, suas escolhas mais difíceis não serão entre obediência ou desobediência, mas entre serviço digno e inútil. Nem toda tentativa de serviço tem o mesmo valor e algumas não têm valor algum! (cf. 1 Cor 3: 11-15). Tenho dificuldade em focar […]

Algebra 201

It has been a long time since I studied algebra in college. One thing I remember, though, is that you learn algebra in steps. When I see a long, complicated algebraic problem with all its x’s and y’s, I remember that you had to go through those steps in order to solve it. The teacher […]

Oportunidad perdida

No hay nadie que haya vivido más allá de los 12 años que pueda mirar su vida y decir que no perdió una oportunidad de oro. Todos podemos admitir que hemos tomado malas decisiones que nos han hecho perder futuras oportunidades. Cuando me uní al ejército, a los nuevos reclutas se les dio la oportunidad […]

Comfort One Another with the Rapture and Resurrection

Have you ever noticed that when people panic, they stop thinking clearly? I remember making a short film with some high school friends. We were shooting in a dry field at the edge of a forest. As the director set up his camera, I got bored and started a teeny tiny fire with a handful […]

¿Perseverar en la fe es una condición de la vida eterna (Colosenses 121-23)

Y a vosotros también, que erais en otro tiempo extraños y enemigos en vuestra mente, haciendo malas obras, ahora os ha reconciliado en su cuerpo de carne, por medio de la muerte, para presentaros santos y sin mancha e irreprensibles delante de él; si en verdad permanecéis fundados y firmes en la fe, y sin […]

33 Is Better Than 1

Many years ago, in a seminary class, we were required to read Lewis S. Chafer’s Systematic Theology. In one part, he said that when a person believes in Jesus Christ, he receives 33 blessings from God. When we believe, we receive more than eternal life! As a general observation, this point is one that often […]

Sua igreja está envergonhando os pobres

Portanto, quando vocês se reúnem em um lugar, não é para comer a Ceia do Senhor. Pois, ao comer, cada um janta antes dos outros; e um está com fome e outro está bêbado. O que! Você não tem casa para comer e beber? Ou você despreza a igreja de Deus e envergonha aqueles que […]
