John 3:16 and the Present Dispensation of Grace

John 3:16 is the most well-known verse in all the Bible. Many Christians use it as a verse to present salvation to the unsaved. By doing this they prove their own ignorance of the Scriptures. John 3:16 is not a verse on how one gets saved today. It is a verse on how the Hebrew people were to be saved in their kingdom program. The present dispensation of the grace of God has a different message. Today's Differing Things Podcast looks at this very crucial topic and will help clear up the misunderstanding of John 3:16.

The Secret of the Evangel or The Mystery of the Gospel

What does the Greek word mustērion mean? Our English Bibles typically render this word as "mystery," or "secret." What does the Greek word euaggelion mean? Our English Bibles typically render it as "gospel," "evangel," or "good news." How does our understanding of these words impact the preaching of the cross? Is prophecy about the cross the same as the preaching of the cross, or are they different things? Christianity has allowed biases and misunderstanding to overwhelm it; with the result being many Christians cannot tell anyone with clarity what the "gospel" is! So, what exactly does the Apostle Paul mean when he says: "the secret of the evangel?" As a believer it is crucial to understand these words, and the significance they hold for all of humanity!

Both had great opportunity to be a great vessel for God's Word to go forth, yet both chose a different path. How does the book of Judges relate to America today?
