Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. On the show today, we will continue to hear Bob and Shawn answer questions from listeners like you. First, the guys will be addressing a question regarding Lewis Sperry Chafer and his book on Salvation. Should salvation be described as a response to Jesus or an “encounter?” The guys will address this issue, especially as it relates to the post-modern movement. We will also hear them discuss Rev 28:8 in today’s episode. Why is “cowardly” before “unbelief” in this list of sinful things? Bob will unpack this verse in light of the surrounding verses. You won’t want to miss this discussion.
