Four Assets — John 17
Paul commanded you to be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Rom 12:1-2). A sign of Christian maturity is when you start thinking from a Biblical perspective, instead of from a merely human perspective. Some theologians call it adopting divine viewpoint, instead of human viewpoint (see here and here). Spiritual maturity means adopting a […]
Five Petitions — John 17
John 17 contains Jesus’ high priestly prayer. It’s the longest prayer in the Bible, but you can read it in about three minutes. (If only all public prayers were that short!) Jesus prayed for Himself (vv 1-6), the apostles (vv 6-19), and for all believers (vv 20-26). But what did He ask, not for Himself, […]
Radio: The Next Step
As many of you know, we’re thinking of going into radio. And people are excited about it! Although we only have the budget to fund airtime in one or two major markets to start (starting with Dallas/Fort Worth), several of you have already stepped forward to say you will pay for airtime on your local […]
What’s Your Method of Doing Evangelism?
Question First, I appreciate your ministry and the stand you take for free salvation. I may not agree with all of your positions, but I appreciate that you are willing to take and support this position which is becoming increasingly marginalized in religious circles today. Now, having read a few of the books/articles you offer […]
Liberty University
I believe the Free Grace message is ready to breakout. We have the content. We’ve done the hard exegesis. We’ve clarified many points of theology and have come to a clearer understanding of Scripture. Now we need to get the message out. But where? How about Liberty University? We know there are some Free Grace […]
In Sickness and in Health — Mark 9:7-9
The Wednesday before Christmas my wife and I both got sick. The kids had been coughing and sputtering the week before, but it didn’t hit us until I developed an excruciating ear-ache and went to the urgent care center. They said I had an ear-infection and gave me some amoxicillin, decongestant, Mucinex, and pain pills. […]
Does Salvation Require a Change of Mind?
I started and co-manage the Free Grace Theology Discussion Group on Facebook. It is not a GES ministry. It’s something I do in my free time. I started that group to be a place where people from across the FG community can come and discuss FG topics, and where outsiders can ask questions. If you […]
Walking and Talking — John 17:1
Do you know who prayed the longest prayer in the Bible? Jesus. On the night of His betrayal. You find His prayer in John 17. Jesus and the eleven had just left the Last Supper (John 14:31) and were on their way to the Garden of Gethsemane (John 18:1). As they were walking Jesus prayed: […]
Did Household Baptisms Include Infants?
“Enjoy your time with them now, because these years won’t last long.” Older people say that to me when I’m at the grocery store with my three kids and I have a haggard look on my face. “You don’t realize it now,” they’ll say, “but these are the best years of your life. They grow […]
Jesus Answers the Big Concerns
What are the big questions most people are asking? What are they most concerned about? Given my job, I have a biased opinion. Grace Evangelical Society has a razor sharp focus on two issues: the promise of eternal life and assurance of salvation. People who contact GES are very interested in and have many questions […]
