In this article, Randy Alcorn addresses the difference between holding on to what belongs to God and delivering it to where it needs to go.

In this article, Costi Hinn shares how to think biblically about one of the most fascinating and bizarre practices in the charismatic movement: anointing people, objects, and places with oil.

There's so much confusion about the Holy Spirit these days. In this article, Costi Hinn shares five ways the Holy Spirit is often misrepresented and how Scripture provides clarity on these issues. Let the Bible define your doctrinal beliefs about the Holy Spirit, not experience and emotion.

How can a Christian fight spiritual battles in a world of trials and distractions? In this article, Jesse Randolph unpacks biblical meditation and why this spiritual discipline is the key to a vibrant Christian life.

It is likely that as a professing Christian you believe the Bible is true, and you’ve heard that you should study it, memorize it, know it, and love it. But how? In this article, Costi Hinn provides some practical tools for studying the Bible, walking through basic principles for interpretation and process for biblical study.

Biblical illiteracy is rampant in the church today, but even amongst Christians who consider themselves biblically literate, wouldn’t we say that more time could be spent communing with God in the Scriptures? Whether you struggle to make the time, or you have been going through the mechanics of Bible reading without a vibrant relationship with the Author of the Bible, it’s healthy to look under the hood of our spiritual life from time to time and ask: why don’t I study the Bible? In this article, Costi Hinn provides 5 reasons to consider, along with some practical solutions to grow in your study of the Scriptures.

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.

What is sufficient to save? To transform? To enlighten? If God has revealed himself generally in nature, where does He reveal Himself specifically? The answer the psalmist provides is profound. God reveals Himself specifically, clearly, and powerfully in the Bible.

For years now in conservative circles, viral media is viewed as this sort of “wild child.” Like a Reformed church whose pastor has a kid with full sleeve tattoos and hipster hair, creative innovation and high effort on digital missions is tolerated with eye-rolling disdain. Whether subconscious or intentional, far too many people think of digital creativity as nothing more than the methods of false teachers. Some tend to view digital efforts as tolerable so long as they are filled with truth, but not enough of us have embraced digital efforts as essential. Allow me to propose an additional phrase for your vocabulary, your missions strategy, and your budget: digital missions. I would define this as: utilizing digital mediums to creatively and innovatively reach the lost, equip the saints, and support missionaries with gospel truth and sound doctrine.

Have you ever heard that prayer is a two-way conversation? Perhaps you’ve poured out your heart to God in prayer, only to feel like God is ignoring you or that you are doing prayer wrong because you don’t hear anything back? I have great news for you! You’ve been taught wrong, but there is nothing wrong with you.

When you think of “eisegesis” you should think of “isolation.” Because eisegesis takes a specific passage from the Bible and isolates it from its original meaning, the author’s original intention, and God’s original purpose.

Illumination is what happens when you learn spiritual truths that suddenly make sense and move you to action. Just like a bright light that lights up a dark room when turned on, illumination is when the light bulb goes on in your mind after reading a passage of Scripture or listening to the Word of God be preached.

Legalism treats moral behaviors and obedience to God’s Law as to how you achieve salvation. This leads to a primary emphasis on behavior modification and rarely focuses on heart transformation.

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.

Each time a pastoral suicide hits the news cycle, the Christian and secular publishing worlds forge an awkward alliance in an attempt to sort through the obvious question that is pressing in on everyone’s mind: how can—or how does—a pastor get to the point where he would make the decision to end his own life?

It’s a good question, and it’s a question that needs to be explored humbly and prayerfully for the sake of current and future shepherds and the overall health of Christ’s church.

Do you realize that you wield the greatest power on earth when you unleash the power of the gospel? We need not entertain the crowd or cave to culture; we need only to give them what they so desperately need – the truth and nothing but the truth! It is, and always will be the gospel that delivers unstoppable power.

One of the most often employed and most convincing arguments marshaled for the charismatic position of a “private prayer language” is 1 Corinthians 14:2. The Apostle Paul says that one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God, supporting the charismatic belief that the gift of tongues is a private prayer language. The fact that “no one understands” seems to support that this language is not a human language at all but rather a heavenly, angelic one.

Outside of our relationship with Christ, there is no area more vital to the health of our homes, churches, and society at large than the area of marriage. Marriage has long been the favored target of the Devil ever since he sought to deceive Eve and trigger original sin (Genesis 3:1-24). Our adversary seeks to erode the holy matrimony that God destined for His sons and daughters. This reality is hardly breaking news.

Wokeness is not surprising. It is normal behavior for a world filled with sin. But when believers begin to cave to the culture and blow over in the wind of deviant doctrine, that can be surprising — mostly, disturbing.

When I talk with Christian teenagers and college students, discerning God’s will for their life is a big concern. They all seem to want their future to be perfect—or at least as perfect as they can dream it should be in light of the things that matter most to them. So often for young Christians, discerning God’s will is tied to questions like: Who should I marry? Where should I go to school? What should I choose for my career?
