What Is Dispensationalism? Part 1 

April 14, 2025 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Dispensationalism, Dispensations, Distinction between Israel and the Church, Hermeneutics
The topic for our May 19-22 annual conference is “Dispensationalism and Eternal Rewards.” Many people do not know what dispensationalism is. The word dispensation occurs in some English translations (KJV, NKJV, ASV, JUB, Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, TMB, YLT, Wycliffe) in four NT verses (1 Cor 9:17; Eph 1:10; 3:2; Col 1:25). Other translations of those

Bible Study Principles 

December 2, 2024 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Hermeneutics, Justified, Luke 7:29-35
The science of Bible interpretation is called hermeneutics. We are supposed to follow certain rules. Recently, I was reminded of some of those rules when I was studying a passage. In Luke 7:35, the Lord says, “Wisdom is justified by all her children.” If you are like me, your first reaction to this sentence is,

Our Backgrounds and Interpretation (2 Kings 20:1) 

August 20, 2024 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - 2 Kgs 20:6, Hermeneutics, Hezekiah, Interpretation, Isaiah
We are sometimes unaware of it, but our cultural backgrounds can have a dramatic impact on how we interpret a particular passage in the Bible. It is important, however, that we realize the role our backgrounds can have. People from different cultures can look at a verse and see it in completely different ways. This

It’s the Context, Stupid

May 17, 2024 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Hermeneutics, Interpretation
In 1992, Bill Clinton was running for president of the US. At the beginning of the campaign, he faced an uphill battle. George Bush was the president and was very popular following a war in the Middle East. In addition, there were charges of corruption and sexual improprieties in Clinton’s past. His odds of becoming

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Bob and Ken will answer 2 questions from listeners. Some say that Jesus never claimed to be Deity. But here He claimed to be God and the Son of God. He proved it by His works and by many other proofs. There is also a discussion on how

Galatians 3:28 and the Analogy of Faith

December 14, 2020 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - analogy of faith, Hermeneutics, women in ministry
One rule of interpretation is called the analogy of faith (read about it here, or listen about it here). Put simply, the analogy of faith means that, since Scripture is self-consistent, you should interpret Scripture in light of other Scripture. And wherever there is an unclear verse, you should look for a clear verse to

The Role of Prayer in Bible Study

September 18, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Beth Moore, Bible study, Elyse Fitzpatrick, Exegesis, Hermeneutics, illumination, Kay Arthur
When I was in seminary, only one professor that I can recall ever said that we should pray and ask God to help us understand the passage we were studying. His name was Zane Hodges. Zane pointed us to verses like Luke 24:32, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us

The Meaning of All in the New Testament

July 4, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Hermeneutics, Matthew 2:3, Meaning of all in the New Testament, Romans 3:23
A friend asked this insightful question: You mentioned recently on a podcast that the word all does not always mean all in the New Testament. That seems to fit your texts ok, but does that not dilute the value of some of the assurance statements where it says He forgives “all sin,” etc.? How would

An Evangelical Postmodern Understanding of the Bible

June 25, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Bibliology, Brian Zahnd, Christology, Hermeneutics, Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God
A friend asked me what I thought about pastor Brian Zahnd and his book Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God. I had not heard of him or the book. So I got the book and I was disturbed by what I read. Zahnd thinks that the Bible is filled with contradictions and pagan
