A regular blog reader sent me a story that is making the rounds on the internet. I doubt it is a true story. It sounds made up. In any case, the story tells of an Evangelical woman who used to be a Roman Catholic; she was sharing her faith with a Roman Catholic man in […]
A reader sent me a 7-minute video of Dr. R. C. Sproul. Unfortunately, the link I initially posted does not work. So I found the longer video it was taken from You can see the video here. I highly recommend you watch it. No date is given. But it appears to be a recent video. […]
Bill Fiess sent me some interesting quotes about eternal rewards from various authors. The ones he sent from C. I. Scofield I found to be very helpful. See what you think. C. I. Scofield, Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth, 1921, p. 91. God’s purpose in promising to reward with heavenly and eternal honors the […]
One of the central texts in the debate over hell is Luke 16—the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. Actually, whether or not this is a parable is part of the debate. People who deny eternal conscious torment deny that Jesus’ story depicts a real situation. For example, many annihilationists want to deny it […]
Tonight I’m speaking at a high school Bible study for our church. Several of those attending are seniors who plan to start college in September. The underclassmen all plan to go to college after high school. Steve Elkins, a Free Grace pastor in the area, has in previous studies walked this group through many problem […]
I am about a third of the way into writing my book about hell, tentatively entitled, Final Punishment: A Biblical Case for Conscious Eternal Torment. I’m hoping to finish by the 2019 National Conference. There is so much interesting Biblical information about death and the afterlife in the Bible. The picture is far more complicated […]
Sharon and I drove by ourselves the long drive from Raleigh to Dallas. I drove the U Haul truck with our stuff. She drove her car. This was before the days of cell phones. So, we had to watch each other. Carefully. We were to meet a DTS couple who had volunteered to host us […]
“So why did you start coming to this church?” the man asked. “When I moved to Denton, I started looking for a church, and I saw this one was ‘country-friendly,’” I explained. “I figured if I was going to be in North Texas, I should get that country experience. Of course, I asked the pastor […]
“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). My sister asked me whether I thought songs which call Jesus our Father are incorrect. If God […]
“…by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy […]
Over the last few blogs, I have been discussing each of the crowns mentioned in the NT. The reason I have done so is that...
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out (John 6:37). The...
