Dile al conserje que suba aquí (Lucas 14:7-11)
Cuando estaba en la universidad, asistí a una de las academias de servicio militar de nuestra nación. Naturalmente, estudiamos a los héroes de nuestra nación. Todos los edificios del campus llevaban el nombre de esos hombres. Estas personas habían demostrado un valor extraordinario frente al peligro durante las guerras de nuestro país. Como cadetes, estábamos […]
Dite all’inserviente di venire quassù (Luca 14:7-11)
Quando ero al college, ho frequentato una delle accademie militari della nostra nazione. Naturalmente, abbiamo studiato i nostri eroi. Tutti gli edifici del campus portavano il nome di questi uomini. Durante le guerre del nostro Paese, essi avevano dimostrato un coraggio straordinario di fronte al pericolo. In qualità di cadetti, eravamo incredibilmente impegnati. Andavamo a […]
Who Is More Miserable? (1 Corinthians 15:19)
In 1 Cor 15:19, Paul makes a statement that confused me for years. Maybe I am still confused, but I think I now know what Paul means. You can be the judge of that! Paul states that if Christ has not risen from the dead, “we are of all men the most pitiable.” Some translations […]
Оставляя традиции (к Титу 1:1-2)
Как и многие читатели этого блога, я провёл большую часть своей жизни, посещая евангельские церкви. Большинство прихожан этих церквей считают, что Библия это книга, которая рассказывает нам о том, как попасть на небеса. Это печально, так как бóльшая часть Нового Завета была написана для верующих, которые уже обладали вечной жизнью. Только Евангелие от Иоанна было […]
Those Crazy Non-Dispensationalists (Luke 3:7-11)
As an Army chaplain, I was around people from various theological backgrounds. As a dispensationalist, I was in the minority. I even attended a couple of seminaries that were non-dispensational. On more than one occasion I have been called crazy. I was the butt of many jokes. Those who called me crazy pointed out that […]
Renunciar a nuestras tradiciones (Tito 1:1-2)
Como muchas personas que leen este blog, he pasado gran parte de mi vida asistiendo a iglesias evangélicas. La mayoría de las personas en estas iglesias ven la Biblia como un libro que nos dice cómo llegar al cielo. Esto es desafortunado, porque la mayor parte del Nuevo Testamento fue escrito para creyentes que ya […]
Isuko ang ating mga tradisyon (Tito 1:1-2)
Gaya ng karamihan sa mga mambabasa ng blog na ito, malaking bahagi ng aking buhay ang aking ginugol sa pagdalo sa mga iglesiang ebangelikal. Karamihan sa mga dumadalo sa mga iglesiang ito ay nakikita ang Biblia bilang isang aklat na nagsasabi sa atin kung paano pumunta sa langit. Ito ay nakalulungkot dahil karamihan sa BT […]
Rinunciare alle nostre tradizioni (Tito 1:1-2)
Come molte persone che leggono questo blog, ho trascorso gran parte della mia vita frequentando chiese evangeliche. La maggior parte delle persone in queste chiese vede la Bibbia come un libro che ci dice come raggiungere il cielo. È un peccato perché la maggior parte del NT è stata scritta a credenti che possiedono già […]
Free Grace in Moldova
Cypress Valley Bible Church in Marshall, TX has been involved in ministry in the country of Moldova for many years. Moldova borders Ukraine, and its history is intimately connected with Russia. Today, it is an independent country. As with most countries, there is very little Free Grace teaching in Moldova. The view that one can […]
Children, Tobacco, and Assurance
When I was ten years old, I attended a family reunion in Kentucky. Two very distant cousins came to the reunion. They were brothers and were roughly my age. I had never met them, but we had a good time playing in a state park. They were very nice, but they were different. They both […]
