Only one life, twill soon be past; only what is done for Christ will last. C.T. Studd
The Socratic dictum: "the unexamined life is not worth living." . . . I say: "the unexamined faith is not worth believing." . . .
"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."-C.S. Lewis . . .
Jesus of Nazareth: "...the truth will set you free." . . .
To those who don't know God: I am nobody special. I am merely a "thirsty wanderer who has stumbled on some water."
Have any of you asked questions like: Why am I here? Is there purpose in life? Is there TRUTH? Why is it that everytime I try to make myself happy I usually end up being miserable? So have I . . .
Do some of you believe that there is no God because of all the evil in the world? Question: where do you get this idea of evil unless you have some idea of what is ultimately good? . . .
Do you say to yourself, "There is no such think as absolute truth?" Question: is that true? . . .
Do you think that Christians are too intolerant? Question: isn't it ironic that you immediately become intolerant as well as soon as someone claims to KNOW something? . . .
Do you think that nobody can know anything for sure? Questions: how do you know that? And, do you know for sure that you can't know anything for sure? . . .
Do you think that life is meaningless? Question: if so, isn't it meaningless to have even found out that life is meaningless? . . .
You know what? The answer to all of your questions is found in JESUS CHRIST . . . You guys, He is real. We've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God . . . Jesus Christ (who is 100% God and 100% man) came and took upon human form and paid the price for our sin and died on the cross so that we could be reconciled back to God . . . We are all in need of a savior . . .
Also, there is a void inside of you that only God can fill. He changed my life from the inside-out. The Christian life is glorious . . . What comforts me the most is that Christianity isn't true because it works, but it works because it's true . . . BELIEVE ..

Let us love one another . . .

relativism: feet firmly planted in mid-air

"That's what bugs me about Christians," he said. "You seem nice at first, but then you start getting judgmental." "What's wrong with that?" I said. "It's not right to judge other people." "I...
