What Will Your Legacy Be?
By Ken Yates Women received their dead raised to life again. And others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection…others had trial of mockings and scourgings…and imprisonment…were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute…of whom the world was not worthy (Heb 11:35-39). Legacy […]
One of My Heroes: Simon the Zealot
Mark tells us the names of the Lord’s original 12 disciples in Mark 3:16-19. Some of them are better known than others. For example, Peter, Matthew, Judas Iscariot, James, and John are better known than the other seven. With about half of them, we basically know nothing other than that their names are included in […]

Make Inheriting Your Goal (1 Corinthians 6:10)
Question I am finally coming around to the Free Grace movement. However, I am still so confused about sanctification and why I tend to go backward in areas of my life and forwards at the same time. I have been a Christian for ten years now. I feel that some areas of sin in my […]
Opposition All Around
Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him (Mark 3:6). Mark 3:1-6 is the fifth of five encounters Jesus has with religious leaders. None of these encounters go well. Here, in 3:6, we see the conclusion. The religious leaders, the Pharisees, decide that Jesus must die. […]
You Were Chosen (Ephesians 1:4)
By Ken Yates Introduction When I was a kid, I participated in many pick-up basketball games. When we had too many players, some of us were chosen to play while some of us were not. It was always a bummer when you weren’t chosen to play. You would then have to sit on the edge […]

I recently had a conversation with some friends about a movie that was recently released. It is an animated film that is based upon a religious holiday in Mexico.

Don’t Add to the Book! — Revelation 22:18
I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book (Rev 22:18). Question. Does Rev 22:18 prove people can lose eternal life? Answer. Thanks for your question. Let me address two issues. […]
A Mixed Crowd — John 8:33
Question. Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say that the speakers are not the new believers in John 8:33? I still do not get it. Answer. In chapter 8 Jesus is talking to a large group of people. There are many unbelievers in the crowd (see v 19 and v 23). But […]
