A Free Grace Letter from a Student
My daughter Kathryn and I teach at a Bible Institute in Nepal. We try to go once a year. This is an email I received from one of our students. His name is Suresh Budhaprithi. I thought it would make a good blog. It has been slightly edited for format purposes: Coronavirus, known as COVID-19, […]
Looking at the White Stone from a Different Angle (Revelation 2:17)
In Rev 2:17 Jesus promises to give to the overcoming believers at Pergamos a white stone. This is clearly a reward for faithfulness. It is a reward that will be given at the Judgment Seat of Christ, when the Lord rewards believers for their obedience. I have often wondered what this reward will mean for […]
Buscando a Dios: Hebreos 11:6 y 2 Crónicas 15:2
Tengo que confesar algo. A veces es difícil para mí determinar cómo aplicar un pasaje en el Antiguo Testamento a mi vida. Sé que toda la Escritura es útil (2 Tim 3:16), pero cuando trato de preguntarme qué tienen que ver con la Iglesia ciertos pasajes dirigidos a la nación de Israel, a veces estoy […]
Usted puede mantenerlas (Daniel 5:17)
Todos conocemos las historias sobre Daniel. Era un siervo fiel del Señor durante un periodo difícil en la historia de Israel. Había sido cautivado cuando era adolescente, y vivió el resto de su vida en Babilonia. Cuando llegamos al capítulo 5, Daniel es un hombre de unos ochenta años. El Imperio Babilonio estaba al punto […]
Disciples Indeed (John 8:30-32)
On a recent episode of Grace in Focus Radio (April 17), Shawn and Bob discussed John 8:30-32. This is an often-misunderstood passage of Scripture. In verse 30 it says that while the Lord was speaking “many believed in Him.” This phrase is a standard phrase in the Gospel of John for those who are saved […]
KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid)
By Ken Yates When I was in the military, there was a phrase that we used time and time again. If we were explaining a concept to another person, especially if that person was new to the military, we would say we needed to “keep it simple, stupid.” We called it the KISS principle. The […]
International Teaching
By Ken Yates One of the things that GES does is take the message of grace to other countries. In almost all cases, we find that pastors and seminary students in these countries have very limited exposure to Free Grace theology. Recently, my daughter and I were able to take part in this ministry in […]
Mantenlo Sencillo
Cuando estaba en el ejercito, había una frase que usábamos con frecuencia. Si estuvimos explicando un concepto a otra persona, especialmente si esa persona era nueva al ejercito, diríamos que necesitábamos “Keep It Simple, Stupid” [“Mantenlo Sencillo, Estúpido”]. Lo llamamos el principio KISS. El punto era que muchas veces, describíamos las cosas de una manera […]
Cochlear Implants and Free Grace Theology (Rev 2:7)
Most of us have seen the youtube videos of deaf people hearing for the first time. Sometimes the person involved lost his hearing at a young age and hasn’t heard for many years, and sometimes the people were born deaf. In any case, they have had some kind of procedure that now allows them to […]
Real Life and the Inspiration of the Scriptures (Matthew 27:23-24)
We just finished celebrating the week of Easter. During that week something occurred which many who study the Bible say indicates that the Bible is not historically accurate and thus not inspired by God. When Jesus is put on trial before Pilate, Pilate wants to release Jesus. Pilate knows that Jesus is innocent, but he […]
