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.
There are Eastern religions that deny the reality of pain and suffering. They just try to wipe it away by saying it's all an illusion.
There's no way you could convince me today that Jesus is not real.
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.
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.
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.
Apologetics has an important place in the local church as we seek to influence our communities for Christ in an increasingly skeptical culture.
