John H. Niemelä Message of Life Ministries Aurora, Colorado I. INTRODUCTION Is faith the gift of God? John MacArthur gives a standard Reformed statement that it is: For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no […]
Kenneth W. Yates EDITOR I. INTRODUCTION In Mark 11:23 Jesus makes an astounding promise to His disciples: “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will […]
With: Reimagining the Way You Relate to God. By Skye Jethani. Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson, 2011. 121 pp. Paper, $14.99. This book is a rather skillfully disguised presentation of contemplative spirituality. Jethani cites Henri Nouwen a lot (pp. 119, 120, 161, 162, 165, 168, 193). He also cites other contemplative teachers, including Dallas Willard (p. […]
No nos hagamos vanagloriosos, irritándonos unos a otros, envidiándonos unos a otros. (Gálatas 5:26). A menudo nuestras propias tradiciones y cultura nos ciegan.

El contexto siempre determina el tipo de salvación de que está hablando el autor. Desafortunadamente, cuando la mayoría de los cristianos ven la palabra “salvación” en la Biblia, a menudo […]
The changes in communication within my lifetime have been staggering. As a young boy, we had rotary phones which we leased from the phone company. And we had a party line. If you picked up the phone, one of the other families sharing our line might be speaking on it. We would have to put […]
How can you be holy? How can you live a “deeper” life with Christ? I am reading a biography of Anthony Norris Groves, written by G. H. Lang. So far, it is excellent. Groves was one of the pioneers of the faith missions movement—he went to the mission field without salary or support and depended […]
Recibimos una pregunta por correo electrónico de un espectador sobre los cuatro pasajes explicados en un vídeo por mí y Shawn. En el vídeo, dijimos que la única condición para obtener la vida eterna es la fe en Cristo, pero si un creyente no vive para Dios, cosechará las consecuencias en está vida y también […]
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...
