Is God sovereign over death?

October 27, 2020October 27, 2020 Randolph Jason

Is God sovereign over death? from Christian Truth Sovereignty is defined as “supreme power or authority.” God is sovereign over all, because He is God. Therefore, by default, He is sovereign over death. He knows the number of our days (Psalm 39:4). The term sovereignty holds different meanings for different people, so it is helpful to define what sovereignty is and how it looks in practice. God is omnipotent (all powerful) and omniscient (all knowing) (Colossians 1:16–17; Psalm 90:2; 1 Chronicles 29:11–12). He is the creator of the universe and the one who upholds it still…

WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE THAT JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD?

April 15, 2020April 15, 2020 Randolph Jason

WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE THAT JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD? by Michael Horton for Core Christianity In answering this question, it’s helpful for us to return to the “facts of the case.” Here, speculation is useless. It does not matter what we thought reality was like: whether we believed in thirty gods or none. It doesn’t matter what we find helpful, meaningful, or fulfilling. This is not about spirituality or moral uplift. Something has happened in history and we cannot wish it away. It either happened or it did not…

DID GOD DIE ON GOOD FRIDAY?

April 13, 2020 Randolph Jason

DID GOD DIE ON GOOD FRIDAY? by Adriel Sanchez for Core Christianity The centerpiece of Good Friday is the cross of Jesus Christ. On the Friday before Easter, Jesus was crucified and died. This creates a dilemma in the mind of some. If Jesus is God, how could he die? After all, God cannot change (Mal. 3:6), so how are we to make sense of Jesus’ death? Was it real? Believe it or not, some people in church history said it was not! Early on, there was a heretical group…

Groundbreaking Study Shows Consciousness Survives After Death

March 12, 2020March 11, 2020 Randolph Jason

Groundbreaking Study Shows Consciousness Survives After Death from Humans Are Free “What happens when I die?” This is easily the most important question mankind has ever asked. No matter your faith, no matter how certain you are, there’s always that lingering question of what happens when the eyes close for good. Sure, people have claimed spiritual experiences after death (known as NDE, or near-death experiences); but science hasn’t been able to prove them real or not, regardless of personal testimonies. Until now. The Study Researchers at Southampton University in the United…

US Senate bill banning infanticide fails, despite majority support

February 27, 2020 Randolph Jason

US Senate bill banning infanticide fails, despite majority support By Calvin Freiburger for Life Site The Senate voted 53-44 for the 20-week abortion ban, and 56-41 for the anti-infanticide measure. Both needed 60 votes in order to pass. A majority of the United States Senate voted again Tuesday to ban late-term abortions and mandate medical care for infants delivered alive after failed abortions, though Senate filibuster rules once again prevented either measure from passing the chamber. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, sponsored by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, would prohibit most…

Why Do We Kill Our Cats? How To Talk To Kids About Death By David Marcus for The Federalist My 9-year-old son wanted to talk about death. He might have taught me more than I taught him. We walked out into the newly cold mid-November night. Coats and scarves retrieved from storage. Dad had a thing that night, so son was going to spend the night with grandma. The 9-year-old broke the silence of the walk and asked, “Dad, why did we kill Aida?” Aida was our cat who died a…

Knowledge of Your Own Death

June 18, 2019June 17, 2019 Randolph Jason

Knowledge of Your Death How difficult would it be to know that your life is going to end in just a short period from today? How would you respond? What would your actions and, equally as important, your words for the people around you and for those seen and unseen? While I have not counted my days to the end that day is coming. What I do, and say, matters right now. Each person we come in contact makes a difference, we impact them and they impact us. What picture…

Not Law But Grace Defines Our Future

June 7, 2019June 6, 2019 Randolph Jason

Not Law But Grace Defines Our Future It seemed the only way God could get my attention was to place a dream upon my heart and in my mind. God had, literally, sent angels to rescue me, show me what mercy looked like and allowed me to turn away from it. Arrogance and ego are a terrible combination when you have no self esteem. Arrogance and ego are right there to drive the bus and do the bidding. How can anyone see anything when these two knuckleheads are at the…
