Stand firm!!

I sat next to my old pastor at a friends wedding last year. During our conversation he recommended a book to me which I just actually got around to ordering from Amazon last night.  It is called "The Reason For God" by Timothy Keller.  It turns out this author has written a few other books.  So as I was scrolling down to make sure I had the right book and I saw I title that caught my interest, but not exactly for my spiritual growth.  The book is called "Farewell To God: My Reasons for Rejecting the Christian Faith" by Charles Templeton.  I read the description of the book but wanted to make sure that the title was accurate and not a twist so I took to the web.  It turns out this man was as big, if not bigger, then Billy Graham while he was evangelizing!  Take the time to read up on him when you get a chance.  Unfortunately, the title of his book reflected what he actually did and that was tosay  farewell to Christianity.  One of his basic reasons was that the bible lacked scientific accountability. 

As I gathered my thoughts about what some of his arguments were and why he did what he did a scripture came to mind, Mark 13:22.  I thought how could this man who was a heavy hitter, preached to hundreds of thousands of people, walk away from his faith?  Many of us have known people to walk away from the faith.  Some come back, some don't.  Have you ever thought about your faith?  Would you be able to "hold on" through the hard times?  Can you walk by faith in God or do you divide your faith with other things such as science, family, friends, ideas, etc..?

Belive this

So you can say this
