No One Even Noticed I left!

One theme I occasionally hear when talking with Ex-Christians and atheists is how when they left the church, no one even noticed. And when I say “left the church”, it initially could be for non-spiritual reasons such as a job change or a cross country move. It can also be for spiritual reasons such as dissatisfaction with or disagreement with their current church. Everyone wants to feel like they are important and are missed. But when people don’t notice, it leaves an empty feeling in … [Read more...]

A Tale of Two Christians

Similar to the story of the prodigal son, this story is intended to be a parable for us to learn an important lesson about living our faith.  There was once two Christians. One was a man of God.

However, this second man was far from God.  The First Man Everyday, the two would go about their work, to earn a … [Read more...]

Why Haven’t More People Become Christians?

Karen Brooks Smith

Most importantly, many times this realization is made when I am looking in the mirror.  It all became even more confusing to me when I heard this statement: "Why haven’t more people become Christians? Is it because they have never met a Christian… or because they have?" Examples of failures It is the last part of the statement that is haunting me. Why are we … [Read more...]

Objection to Christianity #4: Christians are hypocrites and have done incredible wrongs

Logically speaking, the outward behavior of Christian people should be irrelevant to the truth of Jesus Christ. Even true believers who know the gospel are prone to fail once in a while. What matters is what the Bible actually teaches, which is far from what the world sees in Christians. Still, this objection is still very real to a lot of people, so it deserves to be addressed. *Taking off the robot hat. As a human being, it’s easy to discredit a belief system or religion if you see … [Read more...]
