Minister's corner
If you are a Christian, have you considered why you chose to become a follower of Jesus Christ? You may have grown up in a Christian family and your decision to be baptized was the “path of least resistance.” That isn’t wrong, but a failure to think about that decision and build upon that commitment with reasons for your faith is irresponsible. We live in a world with an ever-increasing number of religions and philosophies that are challenging you to prove your case or concede your position. Don’t be angry when someone asks you for your reasons; Christians have been asking that of others since the first century and have witnessed to others when demanded to give their own reasons (I Peter 3:15). We call this evaluation of assumptions and evidence Christian apologetics. If you don’t make some effort to assess your reasons, how could you ask anyone else in the world to assess theirs? More importantly, how could you know that where you started is really truth? If you grew up in an atheistic family and never challenged those reasons to believe in an evolutionary worldview, you would be lost! We must consider the reasons for our faith that Jesus Christ is Lord. December 1 we will begin a Wednesday night class to consider The Case for Christ. If you haven’t thought about your reasons and are ready for the challenge of weighing the evidence, come join us.
