The Parable of the Wicked Husbandmen, as explained by J.C. Ryle, is a powerful story that Jesus told to illustrate the responsibility and eventual accountability of those who were entrusted with God's "vineyard." In the immediate historical context, the parable was directed at the Jewish leaders of Jesus's day, highlighting how they had mismanaged their spiritual privileges and rejected the prophets—and ultimately, the Son himself. Over the past two millennia, this parable has also served as a s...

In Luke 20:1-8, you get this moment where Jesus is teaching in the temple, and some of the Jewish religious leaders come up and basically challenge him. They ask, "Hey, by what authority are you doing all these things?" They want to know who gave him the right to teach and act as he does. And Jesus, in his usual style, turns the question around. He says, "I’ll also ask you a question. Tell me, was the baptism of John from heaven, or was it of human origin?" In other words, he makes them grapple ...

In times like these, it's crucial to remember that 'the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.' That means when we face disagreements, no matter how intense, we have to stay rational and self-controlled. One of the fruits of the Spirit is indeed self-control, and that should guide how we engage in public debate. We can have passionate, even tough conversations, but there's never a reason to turn to violence. Just like those classic debates on 'Firing Line' with William F. Buckley, we...

Have you ever stopped to ask: Should Christians really retire? In modern America, retirement often means stepping away from meaningful work to pursue leisure and comfort. But when we look at the Bible and church history, we see a very different picture. The Apostle Paul worked and preached until the day he was martyred. Peter left his fishing business to become a fisher of men. Reformers like Martin Luther, John Calvin, and John Knox ministered faithfully until their final breath. Even great pre...

Video Description: Many professing Christians today are deceived—not by the world, but by their own false assurance. In this sobering message, Brother Carlton shares a heartfelt warning: head knowledge of the Bible, even agreement with doctrines like the Five Points of Calvinism, does not guarantee salvation.
