Costi Hinn had a personal grievance against Michael O’Fallon ( @Sovereign Nations ) Instead of just addressing O’Fallon, Costi chose to wage a Twitter war on the few guys in Evangelicalism who actually have spines (such as Doug Wilson ( @Canon Press ).  Costi has been a hero in fighting one dragon (the prosperity gospel), but over the past few years he has sat on the sidelines with this current dragon (social justice/civil tyranny). The problem is that going hard in the paint against the prosperity gospel (which truly damns souls to hell) doesn’t get you banned from social media. It doesn’t cost you your job. It doesn’t make you an enemy of the state. Nancy Pelosi doesn’t care about Reformed churches calling out Benny Hinn and Hillsong. In other words, it’s not nearly as costly. Costi sat out of the harder fight. The guys who had the guts to go to war against this current dragon are now receiving some of their due praise. Costi would rather critique their sword fighting techniques (such as criticizing Doug Wilson’s rhetoric) than thank them for seeing/fighting an enemy which Costi ignored.  All that said, it’s vital to mention that Costi Hinn didn’t just memory-hole his mistake, he actually apologized for it. In other words, Costi did something Big Eva would never do. He repented.  I sincerely hope it stays that way.

In this episode of Theology Applied, we publicly air for the first time special video footage from the Truth Matters Conference (held in Buffalo, NY). This conversation centers on the importance of recovering true biblical theology and applying it to every realm of human society. The conversation is between Samuel Sey, Mark Hamilton, Mike Harding, and Joel Webbon.

In Acts 20:28, pastors are commanded to shepherd the flock of God with diligence and carefulness. But how are pastors able to discern who their flock actually is? Are you being intentional to make sure that there are shepherds in your life who can hold you accountable?

From Jukebox Studio  Is shunning a biblical concept? If so, what would be a biblical example of shunning? Is it related to ex-communication?

The character of God is an unchanging standard for morality. In this clip Pastor Joel references how fickle morality appears to be in our culture today due to the fact that humanity has inserted itself in place of God as the standard for what is right and wrong.

Where does a husband’s jurisdiction end? ​Is it permissible for a wife to disobey commands from a husband when they fall outside of his jurisdiction? Or should all “neutral” commands be obeyed?

True biblical love requires a pure heart. And a pure heart only comes through learning to value God’s approval more than man’s approval.

Christians all over the world are starting to think about what it would look like to win the nations to Christ; a “mere-Christendom,” as some have called it. However, there’s a lot of theological heavy-lifting that needs to be done if we’re going to make this work.  *Both Pastor Joel and Pastor Jared acknowledge that several Credobaptist churches do serve the Lord’s Supper to Paedobaptists. It’s also worth noting that the CREC is not an exclusively Presbyterian denomination, but a communion of reformed and evangelical churches.

There are some in Christianity who may be tempted to believe that work came about as a result of the curse of sin. However, man was always intended by God to work and to work hard. Watch this clip in order to better understand the value of meaningful work.

You may not describe yourself as a “Christian Nationalist,” but if you’re a Bible-believing Christian, NBC thinks you’re a Christian Nationalist.
