Tragically, there are many people in our world who have been "turned off" to religion after a bad experience with manipulative preachers or cults. With so many people using God’s name to rip others off, it's no wonder Christianity gets a bad rap! So, how do we help break down that barrier so our friends and neighbors can come to saving faith?
There are plenty of world religions that claim to speak for God, but have never been able to back up their claims. So what sets Christianity apart?
Be careful that something tragic in your past doesn’t cause you to bring cynicism into your relationship with God.
True courage is rare. And when we see it, we may question our own spiritual resolve when we are confronted or censored. The early church thrived not despite opposition, but through it and Christians today are facing increased attacks to their faith that may cost them something in their lives.
Learn how the courageous stories of men and women of faith can bolster your confidence to stand up when you face opposition.
