Defending faith

Yes... It`s about God`s not dead again.

Discussing the movie God`s not dead in our class really got me to thinking about "defending my faith". In a "real" world, there are many atheists, unbelievers and, skeptics that we will eventually face. The question is how are we going to defend our belief and preach the Gospels? Recently, talking to my friend has made me realize that it is incredibly difficult to defend what I believe. I always thought my belief "makes sense". But when I talk to my friend about our faith, the realization comes to me that my friend who is atheist has just as much "logic" as I do. Sometimes, her arguments are more convincing than mine. And there are many moments where I just lose word to say because I really don`t know how to respond to her "deep" questions.

Many times, atheists  have a "better" idea of what they believe than Christian do. I recognize those atheists know how to defend their faith very well. They have spent much time to deepen their belief and struggled tremendously to come to the conclusions whether their belief is true or not.

In our culture, we do it because that`s what we have been told. We go to Church, college because that`s what people do. We believe in God because that`s what our family has been doing or have been told that`s the right thing to do. We rarely question why we do the things that we do. But I believe Christians are ought to understand, challenge their faith, and should be able to defend their faith.  ;)
