GUEST: GREG KOUKL, founder and president, Stand To Reason
Scripture says, “sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence” (1 Peter 3:15).
Apologetics is a sophisticated sounding word for something quite simple: providing reasons or making a defense to questions about the Christian faith. Important questions like:
- What is the evidence that God actually exists?
- How did the universe come into existence?
- Is the Bible really the word of God?
- Do the laws of the Bible apply to all people?
- How can God be loving and good considering all the suffering and evil in the world?
Are you able to provide good answers to these questions? That’s what apologetics aims to do, all the while realizing the best evidence won’t necessarily convince an unbelieving, unwilling heart and also realizing that God doesn’t provide every last answer for any given question. Yes, the Christian life requires faith in what God has revealed but it is a very reasonable faith.
Greg Koukl, author and president of Stand To Reason, one of the leading apologetics ministries, joins us this weekend to answer some of the most common objections to the Christian faith. We hope you join us to sharpen and deepen your faith in God and His ways.
