You Have Much to Unlearn

I recently watched a skit of a young woman asking her father about becoming an actress. The dialog went like this: “Dad, do you think I should move to L.A. and get into acting?” “No.” “So…maybe?” “No, it’s a bad idea.” “I hear you say, ‘Yes.’” “No, absolutely not!” “Oh, Dad, I’m so glad you […]

De cierto, de cierto os digo El que en mí cree, las obras que yo hago, él las hará también; y aun mayores hará, porque yo voy al Padre. (Juan 1412)

Una de las ideas recurrentes en el Evangelio de Juan trata de que Jesús no puede hacer nada por su propia cuenta: “No puedo yo hacer nada por mí mismo” (Juan 5:30). Las obras que Jesús hizo fueron las que Él vio hacer al Padre: “Respondió entonces Jesús, y les dijo: De cierto, de cierto […]

Missed Opportunity

There is nobody who has ever lived past the age of 12 who can look at his life and say that he didn’t miss a golden opportunity. We can all recognize that we made poor decisions that would prove costly later. When I joined the military, new recruits were given the chance to join the […]

A Salvação do Senhorio Leniente é a verdadeira 'Graça Barata'

A posição da Graça Livre é muitas vezes caracterizada erroneamente como “graça barata”. Isso é totalmente falso. Dizer que algo é “barato” implica que custa alguma coisa, não importa quão pouco. Mas a vida eterna não custa nada para você. A única condição para ter vida eterna é simplesmente crer em Jesus por esse dom […]

When Culture Seeks Revenge, the Church Seeks the Good

Someone asked me how to cultivate a “culture of grace” in his church. That is precisely the right kind of question to ask. Grace should not only define the saving message (Eph 2:8-9), but the entire Christian life, including church life. Paul said we are no longer under law but under grace (Rom 6:14), and […]

¿Habrá ateos en el cielo

Q: Como entiendo su premisa en Grace in Focus, ustedes creen que si una persona hace una sincera profesión de fe, pero luego se convierte en apóstata, esa persona todavía es salva. Si eso es verdad, ¿habrá no creyentes en el cielo? –D.T. A: Primero, tengo que aclarar algo—una sincera profesión de fe no es […]

Will believers reap at the Judgment Seat of Christ that which they sowed in this life, whether good or bad

Very few people in Evangelicalism believe in the doctrine of eternal rewards. Most think that the Judgment Seat of Christ is another name for the Great White Throne judgment. In their view, everyone will appear before Christ and have his works evaluated. Those whose works are good enough to prove that they were faithful followers […]

By Marcia Hornok Alone with God I have a Holy of Holies in my home. A place where nothing interrupts my solitude with God. Neither phone calls, media messages, nor family members intrude when I enter it. Only God and I meet there daily in this Holy Place. Now I’m not an especially disciplined Christian, […]

By Steve Elkins I really enjoyed Dan Wallace when I had him for Greek grammar. I thought he was one of the best teachers at my seminary. But presently I’m grieved that his Greek Grammar: Beyond the Basics has won the day in Evangelical schools and carries such great influence over preachers and teachers. In […]

By Summer Stevens The Bible is filled with fascinating accounts of women such as Deborah, Esther, and Rahab. We study these women for their faith in God despite dangerous or uncertain circumstances. Many of the Bible’s popular female characters make it into Hebrews’ “Hall of Fame,” as they should. But there are many other women […]
