WHO IS
JESUS?
Three out of four
young adults will walk away from the Christian faith upon leaving home. Why is this
happening? Are they only attending church by force without truly engaging
their hearts and minds? Are they not personally meeting Jesus Christ at church?
Are we not effectively equipping them for the onslaught of the
world’s questions and doubts? There is such a wealth of evidence for Holy
Scripture. Do our young people not know God’s word? Do they not trust it?
“Now the serpent
was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And
he said to the woman, ‘Has God indeed said…?’ [1]The devil’s job
is to deceive people who are lost and to discourage Christians. Why do we
cooperate with him? Why do we engage in discussions of faith and doctrine from
the vantage point of his lies instead
of God’s truth? This is a huge tactical error. We Christians waste too much energy
dancing around our “opponents” refuting ludicrous fallacies. As long as the
devil can keep us occupied with deflecting his premises and rebutting his
latest assertions, he effectively shifts our momentum and focus away from God’s
truth. Wait, didn’t he also shift Eve’s focus?
God charges us to be ready to give an
answer for our faith in gentleness. [2] Be ready He
said. Be prepared. This is crucial. Our young people cower before the
“intellectuals” because we have not prepared them well. They have not hidden
God’s word in their hearts with conviction. [3] Did Jesus ever
lose a point with the Pharisees or the Sadducees? No. He didn’t and neither
should we.
This is why I find the ministry Crossexamined so refreshing. Frank Turek has put together a wonderful team
of informed and effective communicators. In a respectful but bold and
unapologetic manner, the believers at Crossexamined explain the reasons for the
hope that lies within. This website provides intellectual and scientific proof
for God’s word. Here too, genuine seekers can find Jesus. There’s a wealth of
resources available including links to interviews with leading apologists.
The battle for
truth is the Lord’s. Crossexamined provides factual, well-reasoned apologetics
so we can engage lost seekers on the front lines and win them to Christ. We
Christians have got to boldly charge the gates of Hell to capture the souls,
minds and hearts of our children. We must make the enemy yield the ground he
has stolen with his slithering question- “Has God indeed said….?”
The experts at
Crossexamined flip some of the most common objections people raise back on them
while proving the integrity of God’s word. They deliver more than enough evidence
for its validity and relevance. Turek and others reason convincingly that it
takes much more faith to be an atheist.
This website gives
people the opportunity to meet Christ. Once a person encounters Jesus, He will
take it from there by asking them, “Who do you say that I am?” [4]
