Why do you sin? What is the process that leads you down that path? No one causes you to sin. Not Satan. Not demons. Not God. It all comes down to your free choice. You choose to sin. But how? How does it happen? James explains it in this passage: But each one is […]
The following question came today via email from a friend: I know that you (and presumably everyone at GES) do not believe that repentance is “necessary” for salvation. I have several of Zane Hodges’ books on free grace, and he appears to hold this view mainly based on his understanding of the Biblical meaning of […]
One of the readers of my recent blog “Are Assurance Verses in John Directed to Believers or Unbelievers?” (which you can see here), left the following comment: Hi Bob, I just finished reading the above and I’m afraid I may be misunderstanding you. Are you saying that the only saved people are those who believe […]
John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, was an ordained Anglican priest. He considered Methodism to be a renewal movement within the Church of England and resisted attempts to make it a denomination in itself. It is interesting to see how Wesley’s theology changed over time. Later in life, Wesley would claim he had been an […]
Did the Hebrews have a concept of the soul’s life after death? Did they believe the dead continued to exist as disembodied spirits? Many (but not all) who believe in annihilationism and universalism deny it. They say the idea that the soul survives the death of the body comes from Plato, not the Bible. Why […]
I wrote a book review in January of 2016 of a book which took a different view of the three outer darkness passages in Matthew than Zane Hodges and I had done. But the book covered much more than those three passages. Among other things, the authors argued that overcoming in Revelation 2-3 is another […]
By Josh Meier I recently saw Paul, the Apostle of Christ. I enjoyed the movie and would encourage any of my congregation, as well as anyone reading this review, to take the opportunity to view it. The Strengths Since this is a positive review, I’ll start with what I see as the strengths. First is […]
By James Morison What Faith Is Not Believing is not a kind of feeling. Neither is it a kind of willing. It is a kind of thinking. “The understanding,” as James Fraser of Brea expressed it, in his Treatise Concerning Justifying Saving Faith, written by him while “a prisoner for Christ in the Bass Rock,” […]
By Allen Rea The Vines Expository Bible is available in the New King James Version, which is my translation of choice for preaching. The text is double columned in 10.5 font. The pages are thin but they hold up fine with mechanical pencil writing and a Bible highlighter. The genuine leather edition comes with three […]
By Charlie McCall “Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you” (Eph 4:32). Jesus Satisfied God’s Justice Forgiveness is natural to God. But it is not arrived at easily. Before He can forgive, God’s justice must be satisfied. It is impossible for Him to forgive by […]
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...
