Yesterday I received a call from a Pastor friend in Nebraska. Someone who attended his church took exception to him referring to believers as sinners. The man said, “Believers are saints, not sinners.” Evidently the man was coming from a Calvinist tradition. He thought that believers cannot stray very far or for very long. Thus […]
GES emphasizes the fact that a person receives eternal life by faith alone in Christ alone. This life, by definition, cannot be lost. We know we have it because of the promise of Christ Himself. It is right that we emphasize such things. However, when we believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life we also […]
I was flying back from Portland when I tried an easy way to evangelize, taught to me by good friend, Dr. Steve Lewis, President of Rocky Mountain Seminary. Here’s how it works. If you meet someone who professes to believe in Jesus, you ask them, “Would you like to know an easy way to share […]
About 25 years ago a friend of mine we will call “Steve” told me that his Southern Baptist Pastor has mentioned the book The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He said it was a great book. So Steve bought the book and read it. Even though Steve was a Free Grace guy, he was […]
Yesterday I listened to three theologians talk about the authority of Scripture. I was surprised when one of them said, “We don’t read the Bible individually. We read it in community.” That sounded postmodern to me. The speakers did not go on to give a clear explanation of what this meant. I thought it meant […]
Is it a contradiction to say that Jesus is both 100% God and 100% man? I was talking to a fellow believer who said it was a contradiction, but that he believed it anyway. I tried to explain why it wasn’t a contradiction at all, and that if it were, he literally couldn’t believe it. […]
A psychologist friend recently came back from a missions trip to Muslim Africa. He said he used the “paradoxical intervention technique” while evangelizing and found it worked. It went something like this… My friend starts talking to a Muslim shopkeeper and mentions he’s a Christian from America. Shopkeeper: Do you Christians really believe in three […]
We recently (Mar-Apr 2017) published an article by me about heaven and hell in our magazine, Grace in Focus. I showed that believers will live forever not in heaven, but on the new earth. I received this email question: “I just read the article on heaven and hell. Wow. The Mormons have believed that for […]
…it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. (Jude 3) Bob Wilkin has recently blogged a couple of times about the recently completed GES National Conference. The first one was prior to the conference and the […]
My wife and I like to try different diets for our health. I need to lose weight. She has Hashimoto’s and experiments to see how food affects her energy levels. Mediterranean. Paleo. Keto. Juicing. Dukan. Vegetarian. We’ve tried them all. Then I came across the Zero Carb Diet. It’s exceedingly simple. On the Zero Carb […]
