Apologetics - Reasons for Faith

Who Are the Children of God?
All men are God's creatures, but only those who receive Christ are his children.     #1004

Get Into the Wheelbarrow?
The difference between intellectual assent and trusting faith.     #1008

Get Good and Guilty
The necessity of hearing the bad news of sin before appreciating the good news of forgiveness.     #1030

The Good Shepherd
He is the Good Shepherd because he gave his life for the sheep.     #1055

Lord, Don't You Care?
Two questions for us: Does He really care for us? and where is our faith?     #1058

Do You Understand About the Loaves
God's desire to provide for our need.     #1061

Getting To Know Him
There is no way to know the truth about Christ without knowing him personally.     #1071

Who Does Jesus Think He Is?
There is no doubt as to who Jesus thought he was-- he thought he was God. The real question is: who do you think he is?     #1076

Weeds and Wheat
God sees the good in our lives, even when we're at our worst.     #1101

He Came, He Saw, He Captivated
Jesus saw more than the world saw in the men he called to be his disciples. He meets men where they are and says, "Follow me."     #1114

Why Did Jesus Die?
Jesus' death didn't just happen... rather it was the very reason he came to Earth.     #1120

Who Do You Say That I Am?
Jesus asked this question of Peter. He also askes it of you.     #1127

The Double Grip
Jesus never forces himself on anyone. But once you reach out and take his hand, he will allow no one to snatch you away.     #1145

One Lost Is Too Many
God is not so concerned with how you got lost as he is that you be found.     #1151

Who's Catching Whom?
Honest questions or intellectual ping-pong? Jesus is our model for how we deal with theological game playing.     #1156

Open Our Eyes, Lord
Jesus is always available if we look to him and not at our circumstances.     #1185

The Battle Is Joined
As Satan plots against us, ultimately God weaves it all into his pattern.     #1191

The Proof of the Pudding
God has revealed himself in some measure to all. As we respond, he gives more light and revelation.     #1198

Can't You Lead a Good Life Without Christ?
God has revealed himself in some measure to all. As we respond, he gives more light and revelation.     #1202

God's Memory
The most remarkable statement the scripture makes about God is that he forgets our sins.     #1614

Turn And Be Saved
The basic tenant of Christianity is God's statement: "I am the Lord, and there is no other; therefore, turn to me, and in the process of turning, you will be saved." (Is 45: 18-22)     #1645

Thou Art My Refuge
A glimpse at the "hint" of God that exists in virtually every culture.     #1653
