And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds (Acts 7:22). And with all that pagan learning, what was the first thing Moses did out of the gate to serve God? He murdered an Egyptian! Moses was forty years old at the time (Acts 7:23)—my age. […]
Este es un capítulo del libro Chosen to serve: why divine election is to service, not to eternla life[i] [Elegido para servir: por qué la elección divina es al servicio, no a la vida eterna] ¿Recuerdas cuando era el momento de hacer presentaciones orales en clase? Siempre me ponía de los nervios. Cuando la profesora […]
Here is a very practical question from a reader named Brian: I have a cousin who was raised in a Christian home. He attended a Christian high school, and when he graduated from university, he was planning on going to conservative seminary. However, during the summer before seminary, his younger brother and cousin both denied the […]
Here is a nice question from a podcast/radio listener named J. P. that illustrates the importance of clear thinking in evangelism: I try to talk to my pastor about John’s Gospel. It says that we are to believe in Jesus for eternal life. But he says salvation takes more than just believing. He says we […]
La Teología de la Gracia Gratuita impacta el entendimiento del tema del castigo final. La cuestión es, ¿Qué les pasa a los no creyentes después del Juicio del Gran Trono Blanco?

Recently, German scientists were able to make diamonds out of peanut butter! The process involved applying staggering amounts of pressure over a few weeks to the […]
Cuando estaba estudiando en el seminario, mi profesor de Soteriología (la doctrina de la salvación) era el Dr. Charles Ryrie. Recuerdo que un día durante la clase estaba hablando sobre 2 Cor 5:18-21 . Su comentario se me quedó grabado: “Las personas reconciliadas necesitan reconciliación.” En 2 Cor 5:19, Pablo dice, “Dios estaba en Cristo, […]
David asks a good question about James 2:14-17: I’m taking an online course from DTS on James, as taught by Dr. Stanley Toussaint. Through GES I’ve learned that the free gift of life comes through faith alone in Christ alone plus nothing. Dr. Toussaint teaches that unless that is followed by works, your faith is […]
Judges 14-15 is a study in the cycle of revenge. It all started with Samson’s troubled relationship with women. Did you know that before his infamous entanglement with Delilah, Samson had an unnamed Philistine wife? Their relationship was rocky from the start. However, God planned to use Samson’s woman troubles “to move against the Philistines” […]
¿Eres salvo por medio del fruto? John Piper cree que sí: “En la salvación final en el juicio final, la fe es confirmada por el fruto santificador producido, y somos salvos por ese fruto y esa fe. Como dice Pablo en el versículo de 2 Tesalonicenses 2:13, “…de que Dios os haya escogido desde el […]
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...
