When Slick Got Caught (May 2013).

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020

The parable of the unjust steward (Luke 16:1-13) is a parable that has been awkward for some to understand. It is awkward because, it seems, that the unjust steward gets rewarded for his crookedness. It was about grace when we don't deserve it.

The Problem With Relying On Your Heart When Judging Right And Wrong

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 5, 2013

Will What A Christian Has Done Be Judged Publicly Before Everyone?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 17, 2014

For the Christian, will our sins "be shown on a big screen for everyone to see"? I argue that while we are forgiven and saved by grace, our sins will be brought up at the Bema Judgment because they impact our fruitfulness.

The Big Screen Question: Will what a Christian has done (including their sins) be judged publicly on a big screen? - John MacArthur says no. He says that our sins will not be mentioned at all. I disagree. - The issue, of course, is not the big screen, but rather whether in the process of being ...read more

Don't Judge Me (August 21, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 25, 2022
