Question on Hebrews 6

Posted on August 18, 2014 Written by Mark McIntyre 4 Comments

Recently, a friend emailed a question that came up in a small group Bible study regarding Hebrews 6. There was question about whether Hebrews 6 teaches that a person can lose his/her salvation. This post contains my response to the question.

Second place is first winner

In leading the church, we need to understand that second place is first winner when we surrender to Christ and allow him to build his church. We win because Jesus can make something more beautiful than we can even imagine.

Good news . . . bad news

I have some really good news and some (sort of) bad news.

Righteousness, Scribes and Pharisees

Jesus told his disciples that to enter Heaven, their righteousness would have to surpass that of the Pharisees. How could this be done? Should we throw in the towel or is there an answer to this problem?

Offering some clarification

I want to offer some clarification about my previous post. My intent was not to criticize my friends for being upset about what was said in the sermon. There was nothing inherently wrong with feeling uncomfortable about a choice of words used in the pulpit.

On the need for a heart transplant

Preaching that does not call the hearers to repentance will not affect the heart of the hearers. Real change requires a change of heart.

David Henderson on the self

Because God no longer occupies center stage, terms like self-love, self-expression, self-confidence, and delf-fulfillment, none of which graces the pages fo the Scriptures, begin to dominate the church’s conversation. Meanwhile other “self” words straight from the Bible like self-surrender, self-sacrifice, self-denial, and self-control slip into disuse.
