Brother Hagin’s Reading Habits

August 1, 2023/in Articles by Tony Cooke /by Tony Cooke

On January 18, 2000, I did an interview with Brother Hagin about his reading habits. I was recently thrilled to come across a transcript of that interview in which he shared some remarkable insights. Refreshing myself on the details of this conversation was an absolute delight. Below is a summary of some of the excerpts from that interview.… read more

“In Christ” and a Conversation with Brother Hagin

July 28, 2023/in Articles by Tony Cooke /by Tony Cooke

More than three decades ago, I was bothered that certain “theologians” were attacking Brother Hagin about a particular teaching. They were claiming that he had received his ideas from a certain minister who had gotten the information from a metaphysical cult leader. … read more

Instrument or Expression?

June 6, 2023/in Articles by Tony Cooke /by Tony Cooke

With the Spring weather, I’ve recently been able to do some yard work. I’ve had certain tools that I’ve been using, such as a rake, a shovel, and some pruners. All of these are helpful as functional instruments, but they don’t reflect me—my character—in any way. How often have Christians prayed, “Lord, use me. Make me your instrument, etc.” … read more

When Jesus Brings a Sword

June 5, 2023/in Articles by Tony Cooke /by Tony Cooke

So why is Jesus saying in Matthew 10:34 that he did not come to bring peace, but rather, a sword. It must be understood that Jesus here is speaking in a different sense—a paradoxical sense. Certainly, he gives peace to everyone who receives him. However, because some reject him, he becomes an occasion of division when some accept him and others do not, when some follow him, and others do not, when some obey him, and others do not. … read more

Have We Forgotten Hell?

March 25, 2023/in Articles by Tony Cooke /by Tony Cooke

I’m all for “positive preaching.” I believe people need to be lifted up and encouraged as they walk through a world that is constantly beating them up and dragging them down. But does preaching a positive, encouraging message mean that we never bring up anything that could be considered “negative?” … read more

Moody sabia do que estava falando. Em 8 de outubro de 1871, enquanto ele estava pregando naquele domingo, o Grande Incêndio de Chicago teve início. Além de sua igreja e sua casa terem sido consumidas pelo fogo, 100.000 pessoas ficaram sem abrigo, e aproximadamente 17.000 estruturas foram destruídas.
