“It is by seeing the cross and the community beneath it that men and women come to believe in God.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer
These past few weeks I have been intrigued as I have listened to recorded debates between some well-known atheists/agnostics and Christian believers. The late Christopher Hitchens and Professor Bart Ehrman (UNC-Chapel Hill) atheist and agnostic respectively. The responses I heard to them from scholars who are Christian believers were impressive. Yet I am convinced that ultimately that which directs a heart toward God is the astounding sacrificial love shown in the Cross of Jesus Christ and those who seek to live in that love as a self-sacrificing community. Words indeed have their place yet finally it is the evidence of our lives that counts.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Ron
