Entonces Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, y tome su cruz, y sígame. Porque todo el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá; y todo el que pierda su vida por causa de mí, la hallará. Porque ¿qué aprovechará al hombre, si ganare todo […]
Back in 2006, a Free Grace theologian presented a message at a conference in which he argued that believing in Jesus for the promise of irrevocable everlasting life cannot be a requirement for the new birth since no one believed that between AD 100 and AD 1500. That article was published in the Spring 2008 […]
Ao ler I Samuel, noto um padrão, ou, melhor ainda, o contraste entre pais e filhos. Eli era um homem piedoso, mas seus filhos Hophni e Phinehas não seguiram os passos de seu pai. Ao contrário de Eli, eles eram “corruptos” e “não conheciam o Senhor” (1 Sm 2:12). Eles transformaram os sacrifícios de Deus […]
Here is the eminently readable William Barclay describing how the Lord’s Supper was originally celebrated: It is not in doubt that the Lord’s Supper began as a family meal or a meal of friends in a private house…It was like the Jewish Passover which is a family festival and at which the father and the […]
Pero yo os digo que cualquiera que mira a una mujer para codiciarla, ya adulteró con ella en su corazón. (Mateo 5:28) Vivo cerca de un colegio y seminario bíblico evangélico conservador. Lo visito unas tres veces a la semana para usar su biblioteca. Se puede decir que tiene una fuerte inclinación hacía la Salvación […]
It takes a certain kind of temperament to be a Biblicist. Not everyone is up to it. It’s much easier to go with what is traditional or common or whatever the majority believes. But the Biblicist—or anyone interested in the truth of any subject—knows that he or she will sometimes have to go against the […]
Hay un relato bastante interesante en Jeremías 32. El profeta le había dicho a la gente que Dios iba a juzgar a la nación y llevarlos como esclavos a Babilonia. Jeremías 32 trata de ese tiempo. El ejército de Babilonia había rodeado Jerusalén. Jeremías sabía que la ciudad sería destruida y que el rey en […]
In 1 Timothy, Paul wrote: Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control (1 Tim 2:15). Was Paul denying justification by faith apart from works? Do women have two conditions to be eternally saved, i.e., faith plus having children? That can’t be. Scripture is too clear […]
As pessoas costumam me perguntar: “Como posso começar no ministério?” A resposta é bastante simples. Você começa com o queijo. Eu vou explicar. Você se lembra quando Deus levantou Davi para derrotar Golias? Esse foi certamente um dos exemplos mais impressionantes da história de ser usado por Deus no ministério, certo? Mas você sabe o […]
Last week Shawn and I had lunch with one of my former seminary professors, Dr. Craig Glickman. We have been friends since I first met him in 1980. In the course of the conversation, Craig said that studies show that most pastors and most Christians cannot name the Ten Commandments in order. He figured out […]
The actor portraying Jesus in The Chosen has long hair. Most illustrations of Jesus depict Him with long hair. I would guess that most Evangelicals today think that Jesus had long...

We have all heard the expression “slicing the bologna thin.” It means that a person is examining something too closely, even to the point of obsession. It can be used positively: “He really...
