January 24, 2020January 24, 2020 Randolph Jason

Spirit-Filled Doctor Explains the Real Remedy to Christians’ Suffering by CHARISMA HOUSE for Charisma News In her book Find Your Peace, Rodica Malos, DNP, uses her experience of immigrating to America to encourage readers to grieve when they are suffering. Malos offers a fresh perspective, as Christians often trivialize the role of emotion in faith. “People sometimes minimize or disregard emotions when talking about our Creator. But God grieves with us,” Malos says. She recalls having to wait six years after moving to America before she could visit her family in…

HOW TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU DIE

January 24, 2020 Randolph Jason

HOW TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU DIE by Nicholas Davis for Core Christianity Most religions agree that your status in the afterlife will depend on how well or how poorly you lived in this life. In other words, if you were a good person, you will be rewarded in the next life. If you were a bad person, you will be punished. Not every religion or view about the afterlife believes in a continuation of life. Some people believe that after death you will cease to exist. Christianity, on the other hand,…

Forgotten Lessons About Communion and Preaching

January 23, 2020January 23, 2020 Randolph Jason

Forgotten Lessons About Communion and Preaching by CHRIS CASTALDO for The Gospel Coalition Francis Chan dropped a theological bombshell in his much-discussed recent sermon about communion and the need for Christian unity around the Lord’s Table. This vision of the Eucharist (or Lord’s Supper) bases much of its argument on a certain reading of church history that many Roman Catholics would find congenial in its portrait of communion, the Reformation, and Catholic practice down through the centuries. I will provide what I hope will be an irenic answer, one that explains the need…

January 22, 2020January 21, 2020 Randolph Jason

…By Making Disciples and Multiplying Churches… Podcast by Pastor David Platt for Radical Churches and all followers of Christ are fully dependent on God’s Word in order to carry out God’s purposes.

In this message from Psalm 8, David Platt gives us a helpful tool for getting the most from our time in God’s Word. In order to be a faithful disciple and in order to make disciples, every follower of Christ…

THREE WAYS CHRISTIANS MISUNDERSTAND OBEDIENCE

January 21, 2020 Randolph Jason

THREE WAYS CHRISTIANS MISUNDERSTAND OBEDIENCE by Daniel Darling for Core Christianity I’ll never forget the conversation my wife and I had with a troubled teen several years ago. She grew up in a very dysfunctional, chaotic home with little structure. She said, “I wish someone had given me rules to live by.” Now most kids don’t say these words. I’ve yet to hear one of my children thank me for the rules in our home. But make no mistake, humans crave order and accountability. Often Christians dismiss rules, as if the…

Why You Must Rethink Your Life Story In Light of the Gospel

January 21, 2020 Randolph Jason

Why You Must Rethink Your Life Story In Light of the Gospel by TREVIN WAX for The Gospel Coalition The gospel isn’t about us. It’s a message for us, yes, but it’s ultimately a royal announcement about Jesus. Even if you were never to have existed, the gospel would still be true. It is, as we saw in the previous column, “public truth.” And as the cosmic announcement of the crucified and risen Jesus as King, this message stands at the heart of the Scriptural Story of our world. Public Truth, Minimal Change…

January 20, 2020 Randolph Jason

Is the Christian Faith an Evidential Faith? (Podcast) by J. Warner for Cold Case Christianity In this blast from the past, J. Warner examines the unique nature of the Christian worldview. What is the nature of “true faith”? Is it wrong to want evidence to support the claims of Christianity? Is my faith “weak” because it demands rationality and evidential support? In this podcast, Jim examines the Biblical model of faith. It may surprise you to hear what the Bible has to say about “faith”. Also, Jim takes some time…
