3 Unchanging Truths for a ‘Post-Truth’ World

Randolph Jason

3 Unchanging Truths for a ‘Post-Truth’ World by JARED C. WILSON  for The Gospel Coalition This is adapted from a message I preached last year on Peter’s Pentecost sermon in Acts 2. The first thing we should note is that a post-Christian age is not a problem for God. And while this may seem counterintuitive, in many ways post-Christianity is an advantage to the church, because it’s an opportunity to see what only the gospel can do. In a “post-everything” world, we can no longer appeal to religious sensibilities. We can…

Randolph Jason

THE PARADOXICAL PATTERN OF JESUS’ LIFE by G. K. Beale for Core Christianity Bringing Good Out of Evil The life of the Christian is based on and modeled after that of Jesus Christ. Christ persevered in his faith in spite of pressures to compromise and was killed because of it. Nevertheless, his death was reversed into life and was overcome through resurrection. Jesus’s ironic overcoming is pictured in Revelation 5:5–6, 11–12: Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah. . . . And I saw . . . a Lamb standing,…

Warner Wallace has pursued the question, applying the same procedures he used to solve cold cases. He started this investigation into God’s existence many years ago as an atheist. But even then, he had to accept something beyond the natural because he already believed the universe had a beginning before space and time. The Beginning needs a…

Revelation 3 Step After months of attempting to quit drinking it finally happened.

The ego, false pride, that is one of the enemies greatest weapons, once it is exposed our vision begins to clear and what was once seen as worthy or valuable can be seen in it’s true light. When a person walks through the…
