The Darkness at the Cross: Part 3 (Mark 15:33)

August 22, 2022 by Ken Yates in Blog - cross, Israel, Judgment, Kingdom, power of sin

In part 2 of this series, I discussed two popular ways of understanding the darkness at the cross of Christ. While there were some truths contained in those views, I think there is a better alternative. This alternative fits the context of Mark 15 better. There are two keys to adopting this view. The first

The Darkness at the Cross: Part 1 (Mark 15:33)

Now when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. Apocalypto is truly a guy movie. The hero is about to be sacrificed by a Mayan priest at a temple. The people believe their crops are failing because the gods are angry with them. Just as the

Seeing Good Friday With New Eyes

April 15, 2022 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - cross, Good Friday, Jesus, Psalm 22

If you had witnessed the Romans crucify Jesus, you would not have known the significance of what you saw. You would have seen a Jewish man, among several other men, being beaten, bruised, bloodied, and nailed to some wood by the despised Romans. You would have seen yet another criminal executed for His crimes. You

Is Jesus’ Evangelism Obsolete?

August 10, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - cross, evangelism, Gospel, saving message, Signs

In stark contrast to much of what happens in the name of evangelism today, Jesus simply told people that whoever believes in Him has everlasting life (John 3:15-18; 5:24; 6:47; 10:28-29; 11:25-26). It’s that simple. The Lord stated

Two Aspects of the Cross

January 1, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - atonement, Chafer, cross, limited atonement, unlimited atonement

I have started working in earnest on my next book. As a follow-up to Chosen to Serve, which dealt with the doctrine of election, my next book will show that both Limited Atonement and Unlimited Atonement should be rejected because they both (wrongly) assume the benefits of the cross come as a package. My questions
