John asks this quality question: “Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved” (Matt 24:12-13). You may have commented on these verses before, but I couldn’t find it. It seems to support the idea of the perseverance of the saints. I’ve recently […]
Hay dos motivaciones muy diferentes para el ministerio. La primera motivación surge desde la duda, y la segunda surge desde la certeza. Esa fue la experiencia de Anthony Norris Groves, uno de los primeros “Hermanos de Plymouth,” y a menudo llamado “el padre de las misiones de la fe.” En su interesante biografía, Robert Dann […]
A pastor asks a very important question: I have been extremely blessed by the ministry of GES and the clarity you all teach with. I recently held a class at my church about eternal security and assurance, and my question is, how do you converse and disciple church members who think that it’s not good […]
Recientemente vi una cita atribuida a Martin Luther que dijo, “Estoy predicando la justificación por la fe a mi congregación cada semana, porque cada semana se la olvidan.” Una de las tareas desagradables pero necesarias en nuestro ministerio es señalar cuando los autores y predicadores se olvidan de la justificación por la fe, aparte de […]
As I read through 1 Samuel, I notice a pattern, or, better yet, the contrast between fathers and sons. Eli was a godly man, but his sons Hophni and Phinehas did not follow in their father’s footsteps. Unlike Eli, they were “corrupt” and “did not know the Lord” (1 Sam 2:12). They turned God’s sacrifices […]
Pastor Allen asks, “In 2 Cor. 5:14, is the ‘love of Christ’ that compels us the love that we have for Christ or the love that Christ has for us?” Super question. Both the options he mentions are possible grammatically. But Paul explains what he means when he adds, “because we judge thus: that if […]
Recientemente recibí una pregunta sobre un libro escrito por un autor calvinista, Dean Inserra. Eso me llevó a buscarlo en la web, y descubrí un libro que él escribió en 2020, publicado por Moody Publishers, titulado Without a Doubt: How to Know for Certain That You’re Good with God [Sin duda: Como saber con certeza […]
Many times, when I talk to people about rewards in the world to come, they respond that such an idea is selfish. They usually add that we should obey the Lord and be faithful to Him because we love Him. That is motivation enough and is the only pure motive. I wish that I did […]
There are two very different motivations for ministry. The first motivation begins in doubt, and the second begins in assurance. That was the experience of Anthony Norris Groves, one of the first “Plymouth Brethren,” and often called “the father of faith missions.” In his interesting biography, Robert Dann notes how Groves went through both kinds […]
Esforzaos a entrar por la puerta angosta; porque os digo que muchos procurarán entrar, y no podrán. Este versículo nos puede resultar incómodo para los que creemos en la gratuidad del Evangelio, o al menos deberíamos estarlo a no ser que hayamos considerado cuidadosamente su significado. Después de todo, si la salvación es un regalo […]
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...
