Some exciting news!

I’m writing with some exciting news. After many years of keeping my Bible teaching resources online at my old site hosted by 4himnet.com, I no longer have access to update or manage it. That left me with a choice: let the online ministry fade, or start fresh. I chose to start fresh—and I’m glad I did!

I’m pleased to introduce my brand-new website: BobNyberg.org.

The internet has been part of my ministry journey for quite a while. I first dabbled with a website back in the late 1990s when free hosting sites like Angelfire were popular. In 2005 I moved everything over to 4HimNet, where the site lived for nearly 20 years. Now, in 2025, it feels good to have a new “home base” that is easier to navigate and much more up to date.

On this new site you’ll find a growing collection of articles I’ve written on key Bible topics—doctrines of salvation, the relationship between law and grace, issues surrounding Calvinism, and principles of Bible interpretation. These aren’t abstract theological exercises; my heart is to make these subjects clear and practical so that believers can grow in their confidence and joy in the Lord. You can explore the articles here: BobNyberg.org/Articles.

My vision for this website is simple: that it will serve as a resource to help people better understand the gospel of grace and the truth of God’s Word. Whether you are a pastor, a missionary, a Bible teacher, or simply a believer hungry for God’s truth, my hope is that these materials will strengthen your walk and equip you to share Christ more clearly with others.

I’d love for you to visit the site, bookmark it, and make use of the resources there. If you find it helpful, please consider sharing it with others who might benefit. And I would also welcome your feedback—what’s useful, what could be improved, and what topics you’d like to see covered in the future.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue serving the Lord in this way, and I look forward to what He will do through this new online chapter.

Blessings,

Bob

Doctrine Matters

The apostle Paul almost always began his letters with sound doctrine before moving on to exhortations for daily living. First, he laid the foundation of what believers are to believe; then he explained how those truths should shape the Christian walk. You cannot live the Christian life as God intends unless you first know what God has said. The truth must take root in your mind and heart before it can be worked out in your hands and feet. Right believing always comes before right living—that’s God’s design.

 

When “we” does not mean “we”!

A man lay in the hospital when a nurse came in. The conversation went like this:

Nurse: "Did we have our breakfast this morning?"
Patient: "I don't know about you, but I did."
Nurse: "And did we give a urine sample this morning?"
Patient: "What do you mean, 'we'?"

Sometimes we does not really mean we! Sadly, this statement can be illustrated regarding a well-known conservative seminary. Every year, professors are asked to sign the doctrinal statement to confirm their agreement. One professor signs it faithfully. Yet privately, he admits that he does not believe what it says. His justification? "We—my department—believes it. However, I do not personally believe everything in the doctrinal statement."

Again—sometimes we does not really mean we.

This hits closer to home as well. Not long ago, a student in our own training program privately confessed that he disagreed with parts of our doctrinal statement. Instead of addressing the issue, he was advised that if he simply kept his head down and stayed quiet, he would get through just fine.

That kind of thinking is dangerous. When people in Christian organizations continue to serve while quietly disagreeing with their stated doctrine, the result is doctrinal drift. And drift always leads away from truth, never toward it.

In recent days, the Biblical Resource Group has been discussing this problem. Sadly, we have found that some hold views that contradict the doctrinal statement they once affirmed. In my opinion, this is not merely a matter of differing opinions. It is a matter of integrity.

Recently, some of our leaders have expressed a concern about where this drift could lead if left unchecked. The gospel itself is at stake. As Paul wrote to Timothy, "Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you" (1 Timothy 4:16).

We value your prayers as we seek to guard the truth, stand firm in grace, and resist the subtle pull of doctrinal drift.

Blessings,

Bob

No Other Gospel

I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. (Gal. 1:6-7)

"Any other gospel is another gospel and is not the true gospel. Without the creation, the gospel has no foundation; without the promised consummation, it offers no hope; without the cross and the empty tomb, it has no saving power."

-Dr. Henry Morris
