New Testament

Q: Regarding the “lost sheep” and our Good Shepherd Who goes after even one: is that referring to unbelievers, or to someone who has strayed from the flock, and do they both “know His voice”?

Dr. Dann Spader is back on inContext with a deep well of wisdom and practical encouragement for making disciples. “When you fall in love with Jesus, you want to do what He told you to do. What’s that? Go make disciples.”

What’s the “therefore” there for in Hebrews 12:1? This is a unique “therefore,” occurring only one other time in the New Testament. It’s, perhaps, a “therefore” of exasperation. The Hebrews Hall of Faith is not just some boring list of old names that are dead and turning into dust in some grave—they’re evidence. We have so many men and women of faith who have gone before us, who believed in something they didn’t see and are now witnesses. Therefore: look back. Consider the evidence. Lay aside every encumbrance. Consider Him who endured the greatest hostility against Himself by sinners so that you and I will not grow weary and lose heart.

What’s the context of Jesus’s statement that “there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom”? A great question and possibly Dr. E’s fastest answer to date.

Wait a minute, was John the Baptist Elijah? A question more than a few careful students have Scripture may have wondered.

Why did God create people who would reject Him? A complicated question with an answer that’s perhaps simpler than you may think.

Is there a biblical argument for Christians to use self-defense?

Why do we ask others to pray when we can pray for ourselves? A candid conversation about gossip, performative prayer, and the Biblical instruction to bear one another’s burdens.

The Bible says we will have an accounting for everything on the day of Judgment. If we are saved aren’t we spared from all the sins we’ve committed with Jesus standing by our side stating HE took our sins?
