By Shawn Lazar A few months ago I was contemplating advertising in Charisma, the flagship magazine for the Pentecostal and Charismatic movement. Usually, that wouldn’t be the first venue to come to mind. But in this case, I thought it was appropriate. Bob had just published A Gospel of Doubt: The Legacy of John MacArthur’s […]
by Bob Wilkin In my mid-forties I took up running again. I had run competitively (400m and 800m) in high school and college. Now I tried master’s track. I ran the 100 and 200. But I kept pulling my hamstring in the 200. So I tried the 400, 800, and 1500 meter runs. Then I […]
by Shawn Lazar Many Christians say they believe in God’s mercy, but the truth is they really don’t. In fact, the mercy they’re expecting from God is the exact opposite of the mercy God offered to give. Why would I say that?

To be numbered among them is the highest honor—and greatest victory!—which any man or woman can achieve. But what is it that really makes an […]
by Ken Yates In my last blog I discussed Luke 12:54ff and how Jesus told the nation of Israel in His day that if they looked around they would be able to see that judgment was coming. He was speaking of the coming judgment of AD 70. That judgment was coming because of their sin. […]
by Ken Yates To me, one of the most interesting verses in the Gospels is a statement by Jesus in Luke 12:47-48. Jesus gives a parable about who is a wise servant of the master and who is an evil servant of that same master. In the parable, the Lord says that His servants will […]

For some of us, it is momentary feeling of anxiety that eventually passes when our circumstances change. For others, it is a way of life born out of the barrage of insecurities created […]
One of the things that I have really appreciated about the Free Grace movement in general, and GES in particular, is how they have challenged all of us to look at the Scriptures and let the Scriptures speak for themselves. This often causes us to reconsider some of our traditional understanding of what certain verses […]
