What happens when a person is having difficulty finding a church home because of what they believe? How do I uphold my beliefs regarding the gospel of our Lord Jesus and avoid forsaking assembling with others when I find that the message is different from what I believe to be true? Should I give to […]
Editor’s note: The following article is adapted from Chapter One of the book Confident in Christ: Living by Faith Really Works (Irving, TX: Grace Evangelical Society, 1999). When many people evangelize, they attempt to persuade their listener that saving faith is unlike any other kind of faith. It is unique in that it includes things […]
In John’s well-known description of the Final Judgment in Revelation 20:11-14, we do not even find a reference to sins, much less a reference to unforgiven sins. Instead, we are told, “the dead were judged acording to their works, by the things which were written in the books” (Rev 20:12; italics added). To be sure, […]
In the last issue we addressed the assertions by some that Grace theology downplays the importance of good works in the believer’s life. We saw seven reasons why this charge is inaccurate. We believe that good works are important: to help others, to avoid God’s discipline, to have abundant life, to gain and maintain God’s […]
In a message delivered at Hillsdale College, Charles Kesler writes concerning the Constitution, “The principle that binds our political parties together—as it binds American citizens together—is allegiance to the Constitution.”1 For years the U.S. Supreme Court has made decisions regarding what is constitutional. While some justices have concentrated on the original intent of the framers, […]
In a world filled with conflicting interpretations of what one must do to be saved, it is my conviction, and that of GES, that good works are not necessary for a person to be justified before God. Because justification is by faith alone in Christ alone, good works play absolutely no role in our salvation. […]

J. Paul Tanner Chapter six of Hebrews, particularly vv 4-6, remains a classic interpretative challenge as well as a theological battleground concerning the issues of eternal security, perseverance, and assurance of salvation. Great evangelical stalwarts have parted company at this juncture. On the one hand, we find no less a scholar than I. Howard Marshall […]
SIDNEY D. DYER Greenville, South Carolina Editor’s note: The views of the author are not in all cases those of JOTGES. However there is much excellent and original material in this article. Dr. Dyer gives us much to think about. I. Introduction The title of Walter Kaiser’s book Toward Rediscovering the Old Testament shows that […]
JAMES TOWNSEND I. Introduction The name of Boreham only rhymes with the word boredom. At that point the similarity ceases. The popular preacher Warren Wiersbe said: “It amazes me that my favorite biographical handbook, Who Was Who in Church History, mentions Caesar Borgia…but contains not one line about Frank W. Boreham.” In 1975 Ruth Graham […]
