Where the world comes to study the Bible

  • Kejarlah Anggur Itu!

    Penerjemah: Yoppi Margianto

    Terus-menerus kita harus diingatkan bahwa doa yang diajarkan Tuhan dimulai dengan “Bapa kami” dan bukan “Kebutuhan kami”. Doa melibatkan, yang pertama dan terutama, adalah akses kepada hadirat Allah. C.S. Lewis pun mendapatkan pemahaman yang sama. Ketika mendiskusikan suatu pertanyaan tentang apakah doa bermanfaat, secara halus ia menjelaskan:

  • Baik di dalam Hidup-Nya, Maupun di dalam Mati-Nya

    Penerjemah: Yoppi Margianto

    Untuk membantu jemaat dalam pergumulan melawan dosa, bapa-bapa gereja, para Reformator, kaum Puritan—telah mendapatkan inspirasi melalui Alkitab untuk meringkas etika rohani menjadi hanya dua daftar, yang dikenal sebagai “tujuh dosa maut” dan “tujuh kebajikan” untuk kehidupan yang suci. Yang pertama terdiri dari kesombongan, iri hati, amarah, kemalasan, ketamakan, kerakusan dan hawa nafsu. Yang kedua meliputi hikmat, keadilan, keberanian, kesederhanaan, iman, kasih dan pengharapan.

    Passage: 
  • I gave money to a church for a building project that never happened. I asked for my money back and they told me it was gone. What can I do?

    I am sad to read your question because it appears that your money was not used for the purpose for which it was given. Not all churches are as careful about the raising and using of money as the apostle Paul:

    18 And we are sending along with him the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in spreading the gospel. 19 In addition, this brother has also been chosen by the churches as our traveling companion as we administer this generous gift to the glory of the Lord himself and to show our readiness to help.

  • 14. Taking Every Thought Captive

    Reformed apologetics is an approach to defending the faith that differs significantly from traditional apologetics. Nevertheless, Reformed apologists do seek to provide a reasoned defense of the gospel. The apostle Paul described his ministry as “destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and . . . taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5). Reformed apologists commonly understand their ministry as continuing Paul’s mandate.

  • 13. Reformed Apologetics: Christianity in Conflict

    One of Cornelius Van Til’s many unpublished syllabi was an overview of the history of Christian apologetics entitled Christianity in Conflict.1 The title aptly characterizes Van Til’s view of apologetics in two ways. First, he saw apologetics as properly confronting unbelief in non-Christian thought. In this sense it stands at the point of conflict between Christianity and non-Christian religions and philosophies.
