Randolph Jason

If Only We Believed There are no words to describe the pain, fear and guilt that drove me to take drugs, for the first time, at age 9.

The…

I sat and listened as the people in attendance around me spoke about their situation. I was sober at that moment, but that soon changed – as soon as the meeting ended. A couple of weeks later, after attending a few more meetings, listening to people discuss their experiences with being alcoholic and coming to realize that I needed more…

GOD WILL GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE by R.D. McClenagan for Core Christianity Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. – Psalm 61:1-3 God will give you more than you can handle. Guaranteed.

The Plan of God in the Suffering We Experience Podcast by Chris Platt for Radical God promises to give His people “a future and a hope” in Jeremiah 29:11, and many Christians assume that this rules out the possibility of suffering in their lives. However, we need to consider this promise in its wider, biblical context.

Religion–What Is It Good For? (Video)

Randolph Jason

Religion–What Is It Good For? Video by Pastor JD Greear for Summit Church Romans 3 NKJV 1 What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? 2 Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God. 3 For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? 4 Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: “That You may be justified in Your words, And may…
