The Surgeon General Says… 

March 4, 2025 by Ken Yates in Blog - Bema, Eternal Rewards, Mark 2:17, Rom 6:23
I’m old enough to remember when smoking cigarettes was cool. All the beautiful actresses and handsome actors in movies and on TV smoked. It was considered both sexy and elegant. Many of my relatives smoked cigarettes and used other forms of tobacco. I recall commercials in which even doctors promoted certain brands of cigarettes. Some

Pobjeda slabih

February 19, 2025 by Kathryn Wright in Milost u Fokusu - 1. Korinćanima 9:19-23, Bema, Evanđelje, Pridobivanje ljudi za Krista, Spašeni
U 1. Korinćanima 9 apostol Pavao kaže: Slabima bio sam slab, da slabe pridobijem; svima sam bio sve, da svakako nekoje spasim. A sve činim zbog evanđelja, da bih imao dio u njemu. (1. Korinćanima 9:22-23). Ovaj poznati odlomak često se smatra vodičem za evangelizaciju. Spasenje koje je ovdje opisano se tradicionalno razumijeva kao vječno

赢得软弱的人

February 17, 2025 by Kathryn Wright in 聚焦恩典 - Bema, 为主得人, 得救, 林前9:19-23, 福音
在林前9章,使徒保罗写到: 向软弱的人、我就作软弱的人、为要得软弱的人。向甚么样的人、我就作甚么样的人。无论如何、总要救些人。凡我所行的、都是为福音的缘故、为要与人同得这福音的好处。(林前9:22-23) 这段众所周知的经文常常被视为传福音的指南。这里所描述的“救”传统上被理解为永恒的救赎,而“福音”则被理解为对未信者的拯救信息。因此,这些经文经常被用来告诉我们如何赢得非信徒归向基督。 然而,上下文并不支持这段经文以传福音为目的。当弄清楚第 22 节中的 “软弱的人 ”指的是什么时,这一点就很清楚了。 在上一章中,保罗谈到了他在教会中关于吃祭过偶像的肉(8:4)的行为。这是早期教会争论的焦点;有些人认为吃这样的肉是有罪的,而另一些人并不反对这样做。保罗说吃这种肉不是罪(第 4 节)。信徒在这方面有自由。但是,如果弟兄反对吃,他就不应该吃。如果一个吃肉的信徒身边有这样的弟兄,他也应该不吃。使徒保罗给“软弱的人”下了定义: 9 但你们要小心,恐怕你们的这种自由成为软弱之人的绊脚石。 10 若有人看见你们这些有知识的人,在偶像的殿里吃东西,那人良心若是软弱,岂不放胆去吃那些献给偶像的东西吗? 11 那软弱的弟兄,就是基督为他死的,岂可因你们的知识而灭亡吗? 12 你们这样得罪弟兄,伤了他们软弱的良心,就是得罪基督了。 13 所以,如果食物使我弟兄跌倒,我就不再吃肉,免得使我弟兄跌倒了(林前 8:9-13,着重部分由作者标明)。 这段经文中的软弱者是指哥林多的信徒,他们为吃祭偶像的肉而挣扎。保罗不是在讨论非信徒。他是在描述教会内部的行为。保罗是一个信徒的榜样,为了服事基督的身体,他甘愿放弃某些自由(8:4-6;10:23-25)。当保罗与这样的弟兄在一起时,他不吃肉,因为害怕使那些基督里的弟兄跌倒和犯罪。 保罗对那些在教会中的人,“向什么人就做什么人”,是为了救他们免于灭亡(见 10:31-33)。这个灭亡并不是指永恒的救赎,因为保罗说的是信徒。但他是在描述这个软弱弟兄的属灵健康。他不想看到弟兄因为保罗不愿意放下自己的喜好而陷入罪恶和毁灭。 这反映了整封信的信息。哥林多教会正在罪中挣扎。他们属肉体的行为、不成熟的举止、内讧和骄傲正把他们引向毁灭。保罗希望哥林多教会在基督的审判台前灵命健康,并在那一天从负面经历中得救。这一点反映在使徒在接下来的经文中所说的话中;他以自己为例,说明基督徒的生活是为了在基督的审判台上不被否定(9:24-26)。哥林多的信徒需要以这种方式得救。换句话说,保罗讨论的是哥林多信徒的成圣,而不是非信徒的永恒得救。 保罗这样做是为了福音(9:23)。《圣经》中的福音一词可以指很多东西,而不仅仅是单凭信心获得永生的救赎信息。《哥林多前书》中的好消息包括信徒即将复活,坚守的人将得到奖赏(3:15;9:24-26;15:1-2,39-41,58)。这一点在第 9 章的上下文中有所体现,使徒保罗解释说,他严于律己是为了得到主的认可,得到不朽坏的冠冕(第 24-26 节)。 保罗并不是说,他“向什么人就做什么人”,是为了让不信的人免于下地狱。相反,他是在描述自己在教会中的行为,以便更好地为信徒服务。他希望赢得他们,让他们灵命健康。这提醒我们,虽然教会被呼召去爱堕落的世界,但我们不能忘记我们的首要责任是彼此相爱(加 6:9-10)。

Siedząc w pierwszym rzędzie (Łukasza 6:17-19)

December 23, 2024 by Ken Yates in Jedynie Wiara, czyli darmowa łaska w centrum uwagi - Bema, kazanie na równinie, Łukasza 6:12-23, Uczeń
W Ewangelii Łukasza 6:20 Pan Jezus Chrystus rozpoczął Kazanie na Równinie. Było to przesłanie dotyczące uczniostwa. Nie było to przesłanie ewangelizacyjne. Można powiedzieć, że pouczało ono wierzących, jak być wielkimi w królestwie Chrystusa. Ci, którzy będą wielcy w Jego królestwie, będą bliżej Niego w tym dniu. Są to również wierzący, którzy będą bliżej Niego w

Why Should We Tell Everybody about the Bema?

Sjediti u prvom redu (Luka 6:17-19)

October 25, 2024 by Ken Yates in Milost u Fokusu - Bema, Luka 6:12-23, Propovijed na gori, Učenik
U Luka 6:20, Gospodin počinje Govor na Gori, važna poruka koja se bavi učeništvom. To nije evanđeoska poruka. Mogli bismo reći da upućuje vjernike kako biti veliki u Kristovom kraljevstvu. Oni koji su veliki u Njegovom kraljevstvu biti će Mu bliži u onaj dan. Oni su također vjernici koji su Mu bliži u ovom životu.
