Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in Him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. This verse is often cited as teaching that “genuine” believers will not practice sin. They will not sin habitually, 1 John 3:9 is said to teach. Notice how various […]
Dear Dr. Wilkin: I believe I heard you say on one of the tapes I secured from GES that you had written your thesis at Dallas Seminary on the fifth point of Calvinism (perseverance). I am very interested in this topic… The monthly newsletter and the Journal are very helpful. Would you write an article […]
Many today are saying that the call of discipleship is the call of salvation. They suggest that to be saved one must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Christ. That one must forsake all to be saved. That one must count the cost of becoming a Christian. That there is a price to […]

I had just picked up a catalog from the stack on the counter—a time-honored tradition for us. Every Christmas season the family thumbs through the “Wish Book,” wondering if any of it […]
Recently I received the following question from Glenn Saarinen of Hibbing, Minnesota: “What was the spiritual condition of the Judaizers of Acts 15:1? It seems that they believed in justification by faith plus works, but they also seemed to be in fellowship in the church in Jerusalem.” That is certainly a great question! Here is […]
The article “Evangelism: You Make the Call” [Sept. 1989 GES News] is a creative idea, however, the premise that salvation seekers must trust “solely in the fact that Christ died on the cross for their sins” troubles me. The Galatians believed they were saved by accepting Christ as Savior, but later mandated law observance as […]
