God vs. scientism ... God has proven Himself trustworthy every time
Logically, truth is inescapable. The moment someone makes a claim, they’re invoking the truth. If, for example, someone claims there’s no truth, one can simply challenge that by asking “Is it true that there’s no truth?” If it’s true, then truth does exist. If it isn’t true, then the claim is meaningless. We simply can’t live in a culture that denies objective truth or subordinates the truth to feelings and preferences…When truth is convenient for us, we become its champions. But when the truth costs us something, we try to avoid it and rationalize our way around it. It’s just a part of the human condition to avoid, and even reject, truth when it isn’t comfortable or convenient (2 Thess. 2:10-11). But truth-less comfort will not last.

By making the test for His claims falsifiable (either Jesus rose from the dead or He didn’t), Jesus respects our rational faculties. In other words, one’s choice to accept or reject Christianity is based on propositions that we can know are either true or false.

“The university has traditionally been a unified place (Latin unum) where faculty and students gather in order to discover truth (Latin veritas). A generation ago, college was expected to be a place of freedom, particularly for expression of and engagement with different—even disagreeable—ideas. Sadly, recent events and numerous statistical surveys reveal that such days may be over. Today, many…

The problem comes when we elevate feelings over facts, believing that personal preferences are what determine meaning and fulfillment. Objective truth is jettisoned. The transcendent is jettisoned. We no longer just elevate personal preferences over truth.

Jesus shed no one’s blood but his own so that death would have no sting for us if we but trust what he’s done. There will be opportunities to discuss that claim. But for now, in the wake of what has happened to the Muslim community of Quebec City and beyond, let us mourn with those who mourn and comfort those who grieve.
