Many seeker-sensitive preachers will teach that the Four Soils are the four stages of the Christian life, often to lessen the harshness of Christ's words in that parable. In the article, Costi Hinn explains the meaning of this parable and why it's so important to get it correct.

Costi Hinn shares how he hopes we will respond to the recent Alistair Begg controversy under the following headings: 1) Correcting the Compromised Counsel.
2) Don’t Believe the Graceless Narrative. 3) If Alistair Would Repent.


Christians from all walks of life are often bewildered by what the Bible calls being “filled with the Spirit.” Some think it’s an experience that causes one to speak in tongues, others think it’s a feeling, while others just brush it off as a mystery. It doesn’t have to be this way. In this article, Costi Hinn walks through 8 truths from Scripture about the filling of the Spirit.

While Mother's Day can be a beautiful celebration for many, it can also be a week of emotional heartache for those unable to conceive. Though we know that there are women who God has called to be single, in the main, God has set motherhood as a central flourishing for women (1 Tim 2:15). So, when women experience the inability to carry forth this beautiful legacy, they hurt. In this article, Anthony & Bre Wood provide three biblical balms for peace and comfort this Mother's Day.

Christians from all walks of life need a clear answer to this question because their assurance, peace, and joy depend on it. God did not intend for His people to go through life in constant fear and doubt, wondering if the blood of Christ was enough to save them and if the Holy Spirit has the power to seal them. In this article, Costi Hinn explains why, according to Scripture, you cannot lose your salvation.

For the Gospel is not afraid to call out false teachers. No pastor, church, or Christian resource ministry should be — especially in today’s world. But is there a metric for ministries or pastors to use when determining how often — or whether to, at all — name names?

Greek word for “repent” is metanoia and it means “a change of mind.” Repentance is not just regret for being caught in sin or having to suffer consequences from your own sin, repentance is a change of mind about your decisions and the sin those decisions led to.

People who are antinomian believe that there is no need to obey the Law of God because we are under grace. Antinomianism is the extreme opposite of works-based salvation (which insists that obeying God’s Law is what saves you).

The constant drumbeat of media, radio, podcasts, and social media can pump a steady diet of negativity and brokenness into our minds each day. Compound that with our own pain, sickness, and suffering and it is easy to understand why so many people experience the feeling of hopelessness on a daily or weekly basis. But for the Christian, don’t forget who gets the last word! 

This is one of the most pressing questions when it comes to healing, and it must be answered by using the Scriptures. Opinions and abuses abound, so the only way to address this question is to cement ourselves in the truth of God’s unchanging Word.

In many ways, the internet has become the Buckaroo Buffet of information. News sites and social media feeds serve us a bottomless smorgasbord of information. But at this restaurant, the waiters are paying attention. Algorithms note what holds our attention and are all too happy to heap more of it onto our plates.

I recently met a pastor in passing who offered me encouragement regarding our upcoming church plant. He pastors a massive church (several thousand) so he took the opportunity to overflow some of his wisdom in our direction.

As we talked, I realized his methods would undoubtedly bring people in the door, but they seemed to miss the heart of how Christ Himself grew His church.

Every last person on earth.

That is who deals with sinful anger. Don’t believe me? This article will change that as we take a deeper dive into what the Scriptures have to say about sinful anger and some of the misconceptions that contribute to the church’s misunderstanding of what anger is. When we fail to understand anger in a biblical way, it becomes impossible to see the damage it does in our churches and our hearts.

This article will lay out four practical tips for “dropping our lines” into waters which are teeming with unconverted “fish”—men, women, and children who need to hear the saving gospel message.

We have all heard some version of the statement: “I love Jesus, I’m just not into theology.” Or, “I know the gospel, which is all the doctrine I need.” Or, “learning doctrine and theology is for those stuffy seminary types.” Or, “Jesus + Nothing = Everything.”

Vivid within my memory is when my parents bought our first computer—a tall, bulky tower with a massively heavy screen that sat in our kitchen. I can still hear the static beeping connection of the world wide web. The small screen I carry in my pocket is much more powerful and efficient than that massive first computer.

Our world is deeply fallen. In the midst of our pain and fallenness, voices are crying out for social reform, for economic redistribution, and for major institutional changes to the educational system and law enforcement. After thousands of years of human history, our world is still blinded to the reality that the heart of the problem is the problem of the heart.

It’s been impossible for me to miss the controversy that’s been brewing in Southern California between Governor Gavin Newsom and Sun Valley’s Grace Community Church as led by their pastor-teacher, John MacArthur.

Through online communication channels like email and social media, I receive a large amount of questions and loathe the fact that I can’t keep up with them. While God doesn’t “need” anyone, and He is absolutely faithful in saving souls and guiding them to solid spiritual food, I often think back to how He used the kindness of Christians to point me to helpful resources when I needed them the most.

This article needs minimal introduction. Social media is ablaze right now and has been for some time. Rage is on the rise, wars are fought using words as ammunition, and aggressive debate takes its toll on even the most upbeat human souls.
