Someone sent me a link to a rather extreme Arminian preacher. Most who believe you can lose everlasting life think that people who believe you can’t lose your salvation still have a good chance of making it to heaven by persevering. However, this preacher thinks that the preaching of eternal security makes it very unlikely […]
I was recently asked, “I am a little confused as to the relationship between faith and works in the Free Grace understanding. My own understanding is that faith naturally has a corresponding action. It’s not that the action proves or adds anything to salvation, but that grace-born trust in Jesus could not fail to be […]
Here is the hot question for the day from my in-box: First, I’d like to say that I appreciate GES, and I’m in agreement with much of what I’ve read and heard so far. One thing I am not currently understanding clearly is the phrase ‘bind him hand and foot’ pertaining to the outer darkness […]
After centuries of promising to send a Messiah, God finally gave a concrete timeline in Daniel 9:24-27 for when He would come. And vv 25-26 give us specific information about what would happen to Messiah at that time: “Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem […]
I received the following question in a comment to a blog I wrote: “Why does Paul say you can believe in vain, 1 Cor. 15:2?” The questioner doesn’t seem to believe in eternal security. He implies that Paul was saying that you could believe in Christ, be born again, and then end up going to […]
Over the summer, I’ve been re-reading Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series. Haven’t read it since high school. The series is set 20,000 years into the future. A Galactic Empire is spread across the stars. But it’s crumbling. Hari Seldon, a “psychohistorian,” foresees the empire will fall, leading to a long period of barbarism. So Seldon puts […]
In “My Way,” Frank Sinatra famously sang, Regrets, I’ve had a few But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway, And more, much more than this, I did it my way. … […]
Beware of what you say. You may contradict yourself. Or, you might contradict your mentor. Here is a great question from a reader/listener: At the beginning of the July 4th episode of Grace in Focus Radio on Discussions on Christianity for the Emotionally Damaged, Bob stated that assurance is another name for faith or belief. […]
I am amazed at the number of free Bible study resources that are available online. Of course, the pre-eminent Bible study software is Logos, but it is expensive. If you’re a pastor or Bible teacher, it may be worth the expense. However, for everyone else, these websites can help you with your studies. At least, […]
One of the comments put on an earlier blog pointed people to some articles on our website explaining John 2:23-25 and John 8:30-32. I went to one of the articles on John 8:30-32. I found the following section, which I think is worthy of repetition and expansion. Here is what I wrote (you can see […]
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand (John 10:28). The Lord Jesus makes five different never...
