In this unique 13-minute show, Bob Wilkin and guests discuss issues that are vital to justification and sanctification, while keeping those issues distinct. Topics discussed include assurance of salvation, evangelism, eternal rewards, problem passages, perseverance theology, Calvinism and Arminianism, how to interpret Scripture, eschatology, and current issues in Free Grace Theology.

Does “Believe” in John Refer to Continuous or Point in Time Belief?
Today, Bob and Shawn discuss why John 3:16 and John 11:26 refer to point-in-time belief. They compare other passages in Scripture that prove point-in-time events occurred many times. As we study Scripture, we need to be careful not to read our own theology into Bible text.

Application: Becoming a Doer of the Word / Work
James 1:22-25 tells us to be doers of the Word and not just hearers, or readers. We are to apply what we read in the Bible to our lives and God holds us accountable to do so. Let us live full, blessed, and rewarding lives by applying the Word of God. Download our free e-book on James here.

Interpretation: Key Phrases & Big Ideas
It’s important to study the phrases that are quoted over and over in the Bible. Do a word study on the word, then the phrase as a whole, using the entirety of the context. Bob and Shawn’s  discussion on this type of Bible study will encourage and enlighten you.

Observation: Asking Questions of the Text
The Bible was intended for specific people and specific circumstances. We need to look at each book in the Bible and ask who it was addressed to, when it happened, etc. Today’s broadcast highlights how to observe each book and learn from the text.

Word Studies
Word studies are an important part of effective Bible study. Depending on the context, words can have different meanings. If you come across a word in your daily reading, you should check an interlinear Bible to see what the meaning in Greek is. Listen to Bob and Shawn’s excellent discussion on word studies and their helpful suggestions.

Typology and Types in the Bible
Have you heard of Origen, the Father of Allegory? Bob and Shawn discussed the Allegorical Method of Bible study yesterday, proving that it was not an accurate way. We should be cautious with how we view types in Scripture. We need to allow the Word to speak to us in the Grammatical Historical context in which it was written.
