Trusting God’s Provision

When Israel followed Moses through the wilderness, God provided manna for them to eat. There God had said, “Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may test them, whether or not they will walk in My instruction” (Exod 16:4, emphasis […]

Is John’s Gospel the Only Evangelistic Book in the Bible_

“And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.” The following is a chapter in my upcoming […]

Evidence for the Resurrection_ James,the Brother of Jesus

Christians around the world celebrated the day when Jesus rose from the dead. Truthfully, we do that every Sunday, but, by tradition and convention, it’s especially celebrated once a year—Easter Sunday. Why do I believe that Jesus was resurrected? Admittedly, the resurrection is an extraordinary claim. Yes, there are many documented cases of people dying […]

¿Cómo Sabe Usted Que Está Confiando en Jesús Para Salvarle_

PREGUNTA ¿Cómo sé que estoy confiando en Jesús para salvarme? Me preocupa que en caso de morir yo pueda descubrir que había creído algo diferente. Supongo que me pongo un poco confundido porque crecí creyendo que si una persona es verdaderamente salva, tendrá una vida cambiada, y yo he experimentado una vida cambiada tal como […]

Freedom of Religion and the Coronavirus

Until now, I’ve avoided talking about the American and worldwide response to Covid-19. But when Christians are not free to worship together on Resurrection Sunday, I feel it is time to say something. This is not a party issue. Independents, Libertarians, Democrats, and Republicans all support shelter at home orders. This is not an American […]

Major Ian Thomas on Commitment Confusion

We all have commitments—to family, school, work, church, neighbors, social clubs, and so on. And we’re living at a time when our regular commitments have been widely interrupted. For example, you’re committed to your church, and yet most of us—perhaps all of us—just celebrated Easter at home, because we’re all under quarantine. As a result, […]

¿Podemos saltar de Su mano_

Pregunta La mayoría de nuestros pastores dicen que un creyente puede saltar de la mano de Dios, basándose en Juan 10:28. ¿Cómo puedo refutar tal afirmación? Respuesta Lamento decir que sus pastores están equivocados (o, en realidad, me alegra decirlo): 1.) Juan 10:28-29 no dice que podemos saltar de las manos del Padre y de […]

Sarcasm, Irony, and Blindness All Rolled Up in One

During the week of Easter, there are many events in the life of the Lord in which Biblical scholars often say the Gospel writers used literary devices. These devices include sarcasm and irony. Many of these scholars do not believe these events actually took place, and the Gospel accounts are to be read simply as […]

April 13, 2020 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Faith, saving faith
_“A Single Act of Faith”_

Q. In your blog on Five Differences Between Perseverance of the Saints and Eternal Security, you said that salvation takes a “single act of faith.” Can you address“single act of faith”? I am trying to help people understand that faith is not a decision, and I am probably too pedantic about how we are describing […]

Star Trek Generations, Eschatology and the Meaning of Life

I recently re-watched Star Trek Generations, the movie that had both Captain Kirk and Captain Picard. I had not seen it since it came out in 1994. It turns out the film is a debate about the meaning of life after death. It’s about eschatology. The plot of Generations centers around an extra-dimensional reality called […]
