Why We Should Tell Everybody about the Bema

August 8, 2024 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Judgment Seat of Christ

I’ve been heading GES for nearly forty years. At our summer board meeting each year, the board evaluates me. To prepare for that judgment, I must do my job faithfully every day. If I lose sight of my evaluation, I will slacken in my efforts. That is human nature. But if I focus on my

The Man in the Shadows

The tragedy of the WWII Holocaust defies imagination. Many people were responsible for that level of death and destruction.

June 19, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Great White Throne Judgment, Judgment Seat of Christ

May 9, 2023 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Bema, Dispensationalism, Judgment Seat of Christ

Jack emailed me a great question: “Why does it seem like only dispensationalists believe in the Judgment Seat of Christ?” For those who are not theology nerds, a dispensationalist believes that at various times–or dispensations–in the world’s history, God has changed His commandments. For example, today God allows us to eat pork or shrimp. We

How Can Perfect People Feel Regret?

April 1, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Bema, Judgment Seat of Christ, misthology, rewards, Tony Evans

The very concept of gaining eternal rewards in Jesus’ future kingdom is foreign to many Christians, but it’s certainly not foreign to the Bible, which repeatedly teaches about the importance of rewards. “[L]ay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” Jesus urged (Matt 6:20). And Hebrews says God “is a rewarder of those who diligently seek
