Many people believe the Christian faith is a blind faith, an ignorant faith. Studying the Christian faith, you will see that it is an appeal to knowledge, to truth. All throughout the Scriptures we are commanded to examine the truth, not to ignore it.
Christianity allows no discontinuity between faith and fact, between faith and truth. The facts and the evidence for Christ’s deity, for His resurrection, etc., are not some isolated, mythical facts that are non-historical.
Christ never asked anyone to believe blindly. Faith in Christ is based upon sufficient evidence, but not exhaustive evidence. So, the Christian faith is not a blind faith but rather an intelligent faith. Listen to Josh share how faith in Christ is a step into the light.
The value of faith is not in the one who is believing but rather the one who is believed in. The value of faith is not in the one trusting, but in the one who is trusted.
With Christianity, the emphasis is on what or whom you believe, not on the act of believing. Josh shares how Christianity is objective rather than subjective in this video.

Around 2009 I was going to take online classes at a Bible Institute Chicago. I prayed about it & felt God say that its not necessary & that He would teach me. Even though it was hard knowing that my time was ticking, I decided to trust Him. Since that time I've been at a place where I can listen to my audio Bible for hours, each week, over & over. He led me to voice record this on my ipod & give it away. If someone were to hear this message who had never even heard of "The Bible" I believe they would be getting a full summary of the CORE message The Bible brings, in this 45 min recording... Please "Share" this with someone who may want to hear it... ALSO To see My Story go to https://youtu.be/4wgxDAjSNqU Thanks!
We are losing our credibility, which is affecting people believing in Christ. Others are questioning the truth about what Christians believe because of how we behave. Listen to Josh share some statistics about how non-Christians view Christians.
“Love makes the world go round.” How we live reflects the truth of our message. Josh shares what Paul wrote about the importance of love. Is the church expressing unconditional love? The way people perceive us can often be the greatest barrier to others trusting Christ.
Most people think Josh came to Christ through evidence, but none of that actually brought him to Christ. It got his attention! The love of God is what brings us to Him.
The major barrier to many of us relating to God is our misperceptions of him. We often project the character of our earthly fathers onto God. Listen to Josh share his personal story!
How we live is proof of our faith. We cannot hope to share truth if our lives don’t demonstrate truth, both truth and integrity must go together. We are called to share the truth in love.
Truth without relationships leads to rejection. There are 4 simple truths about Christianity: 1) God accepts us unconditionally, 2) He loves us sacrificially, 3) He understands us intimately, and 4) He relates to us continuously in our lives.
Do you wonder what God uses to bring people to Him? 71% of people say it was an individual. Listen to how important relationships are in coming to know God.
Who we are as a person, how we live out our faith is as critical as what we believe and what we share and teach others. The majority of people come to know God through relationships.
