La capacidad de creer

Pregunta Shawn, en argumentos recientes contra el calvinismo, usted mencionó que el hombre tiene la “capacidad de creer o no creer.” Estoy de acuerdo con esto, pero está en conflicto con la posición regular de GES (SEG) que “creer es pasivo.” Bob a menudo dice que “Uno cree o no cree” y esto no es […]

Is Christendom Sick or Dead_

In response to a blog about the need for missionaries to Christendom, a reader wrote: Shawn, I must admit I was quite taken aback by your words. You are just a year younger than I am, and from your books, blog posts and radio podcasts I’ve listened to that you share with Bob, I know […]

Do we need to deal with our own sins in some way in order to be born again_

An interesting question came from someone who happened to see one of my blogs: I came across Bob’s Sept 1, 2019, article. While I appreciate much of what Bob says, his statement in the last paragraph was puzzling to me: “Because of the cross of Christ, our sins and our works are not the issue.” […]

¿Santos espurios o secretos_

“Estando en Jerusalén en la fiesta de la pascua, muchos creyeron en su nombre, viendo las señales que hacía. Pero Jesús mismo no se fiaba de ellos, porque conocía a todos., y no tenía necesidad de que nadie le diese testimonio del hombre, pues él sabía lo que había en el hombre.” Estos tres versículos […]

The Image of God and Ruling with Christ

What is the image of God? I have read just about every different theory you can imagine trying to identify the nature of the image of God. I have seen candidates such as being self-aware, or intelligent, or capable of speech, or capable of love, or having a soul, or (as Karl Barth suggested) being […]

The Doctrine of God_ Essence and Existence

Are you ready to learn a basic theological distinction? What is the difference between Jesus, the Easter Bunny, and a square circle? One way to think of the difference is between what older theologians called essence and existence. Essence is what something is. What is its nature? What do we know about it? If you […]

Job’s Limited Mind and the Problem of Evil

The world is and has long been full of evil. As I write this, the COVID-19 pandemic has been sweeping the globe, and there are riots across the country in response to what appears to be a case of police brutality. Many people are dying. Even more are suffering. I don’t think evil is a […]

¿_Ningún Evangelio Puro__

“No hay ningún evangelio puro en el mundo.” Recientemente, tomaba una clase en un seminario evangélico cuando alguien hizo esa declaración. Él continuó: “¡De hecho, me daría mucho miedo si alguien pensara que tenía el evangelio puro!” No era claro lo que quería decir con “el evangelio puro.” ¿Quería decir que “nadie realmente sabe nacer […]

If You Could Give an Incoming college Freshman Three Books, What Would They Be, and Why_

A pastor gave me an interesting challenge: Greetings! I am a pastor in a free grace church in PA. I have received your magazine for many years. My question: we have a high school student graduating now and going on to a secular college in the fall. She is a believer and has had a […]

Four Reasons the Doctrine of Eternal Rewards Answers Solomon’s Quest for Meaning

The teacher in Ecclesiastes—who was most likely King Solomon—was on a search for the meaning of life “under the sun.” However, all his attempts to find meaning failed. He looked for purpose through pursuing wisdom (Eccl 1:12-14, 18), pleasure (Eccl 2:10-11), legacy (Eccl 2:18-20), wealth (Eccl 5:10-11), even children (Eccl 6:3-4)—among other things—and concluded all […]
