About Jason Evans

Jason Evans is a non-denominational preacher and teacher of the word of God. He runs On The Line Ministries which is an online church. He believes in a balanced view of scripture, with one scripture being interpreted by other scriptures. Because of this, he is not afraid to challenge his doctrine.

If the scriptures teach something other than his beliefs, Jason will adapt his beliefs to follow those scriptures. With the standard of the scriptures he is also not afraid to challenge the teachings of others, but tries to do so in love and through opening scripture.

Simone Weil on Affliction

It is sometimes easy to deliver an unhappy man from his present distress, but it is difficult to set him free from his past affliction . . .

On being caught in adultery

My point in all this is that we are broken people living in a broken culture and we are called to minister to people like us who have made a mess of life. We must invite them into relationship with Jesus without laying on them the impossible task of cleaning themselves up first.

On the pursuit of relevance

So while I think there is nothing inherently wrong with wailing guitar solos and smoke machines as part of the worship experience, perhaps we should pump the brakes on the drive to make worship like a rock concert and the sermon like a motivational seminar.

Berlinski on the limits of science

I am grateful for the advances that have been made that increase the comfort of our existence. But, science is limited to observations of what is. Science is also limited in what it can say in response to the four important questions that man needs to answer.
