Learning about the intellectual basis for Christianity bolsters the faith of Christians-espe cially those who may be experiencing doubts-and prepares them to share Christ with others.
To be honest, I didn't want to believe that Christianity could radically transform someone's character and values. It was much easier to raise doubts and manufacture outrageous objections that to consider the possibility that God actually could trigger a revolutionary turn-around in such a depraved and degenerate life.
Christians can have doubts and they can have questions, and the unhealthy way to deal with that is to keep them inside where they fester and grow and can undermine our faith. The healthy way to deal with it is to talk about it and be honest about it.
Doubts can produce positive side-effects - if you work toward resolving them.
Of course, there are always going to be some unsettled areas, but for me the overall evidence for Christianity chases away any real doubt that it's true.
I'm all for lifestyle evangelism, but I'm also in favor of intentionality, where we seek out opportunities for spiritual conversations and are equipped to explain the gospel and why we believe it.
Faith is only as good as the one in whom it's invested.
I'm noticing an exciting trend around the country: a resurgence of interest in Christian apologetics (the defense of the faith). This is a reaction to the current attacks on the essentials of Christianity that are coming from militant atheists, radical professors, and Internet gadflies.
Nobody is beyond the reach of the Gospel.
Science itself is steadily nailing the lid on atheism's coffin.
The Internet has helped atheists and agnostics coalesce as never before.
Intelligent design is consistent with any faith system I can think of, because most faith systems believe that there is a creator.
I certainly believe that God did create the world, yeah, absolutely I believe that.
I am primarily a writer of books, and I enjoy that. But I come to realize that a lot of people prefer a visual medium.
