Why Did Jesus Evangelize (John 5:39-40)?

by in - , , ,
I’ve recently been involved in many discussions about the gospel of eternal life. Many people think that it’s not necessary to insist on the unbeliever’s understanding that Jesus offers eternal life to everybody who believes in Him for it. The unbeliever can be saved without knowing that. Instead, he can simply believe in Jesus regarding

Theology Permeates Everything

by in - , ,
Sometimes we hear people say we shouldn’t worry about theological differences. Such differences aren’t important. But our theology impacts the way we see the world and the people in that world, even when we’re not aware of it. I was reminded of that recently while reading a Southern Baptist magazine. An article by a leader

by in - , , ,
A woman at the church I attend (I’ll call her Betty) recently told me about a conversation she had with a friend. It put a bit of an unusual spin on Jas 2:19, which says, “even the demons believe and tremble.” Most often, people erroneously use that verse to say that faith in Jesus alone

Romans–Part 15–Romans 7 (Conclusion)
, , , , , , ,
Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Kathryn Wright and Ken Yates will be continuing in Romans chapter seven. This is the chapter where Paul describes his attempt (and dismal failure) at pleasing God in his own strength by keeping laws. This only produced death and more sin, pride, and looking down on others. But pleasing Christ is not automatic either! We need to be careful to eliminate all legalistic systems and rules and to simply focus on Christ. Please listen to this episode and join us each weekday for the Grace in Focus podcast!

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Kathryn Wright and Ken Yates are continuing in Romans, beginning at chapter 7.

And how does what he experienced inform us about successfully living and walking as a believer? So listen now for some very helpful thoughts!

Looking at the Hands of the Lord (Mark 7:5)

by in - ,
Many times, I have seen paintings of Jesus that emphasize His hands. Usually, they are reaching out, as if He is inviting people to come to Him. When you think about the hands of the Lord, what do you see? In Mark 6:30-39, Jesus feeds a large multitude of people with a few pieces of
