Everybody experiences suffering. No matter what you believe about the world, you have to be able to account for that fact. Maybe you are an atheist and believe that there is no meaning in suffering - things happen and whether they are good or bad is a matter of opinion. But most people live as though there are absolute rights and wrongs and therefore need to give a reason for why bad things happen to good people. Listen to Brian explain just how Christianity uniquely explains the seeming injustice of bad things happening to good people.

Every current and past religion except Christianity teaches that you can be saved by doing or saying certain things. If those religions were true, what a terrible situation they would put us in!

For many years atheist have been trying to convince the world that in order to be a Christian you have to be willing to check your brain at the door because no rational person could seriously believe in the truth claims that it makes. If the claims of these atheists are true then there is no meaning in the universe. This idea runs contrary to the intuition of every single one of us. We all feel as though there must be some greater meaning in our lives. Listen in as Brian explains why our lives DO have a meaning and that meaning can only be understood in light of the Christian worldview.

Seven Ideas That Changed The World Part 2 - God Once Lived Among Us
Saturday Jul 06, 2013
Saturday Jul 06, 2013
In part two of our series on ideas that have changed the world we are looking at the idea that God once lived among us. Jesus is the only religious leader in history that claimed to be deity. Some prominent skeptics have claimed that there is enough evidence to say that Jesus was not a real historical person, let alone that He was God incarnate. To make that kind of statement is to ignore the mountains of evidence to the contrary. When evaluating the idea of whether Jesus is God or not you must first cut out your presuppositions and come to the question ready to openly and honestly weigh the evidence. Join Brian as he examines the question of whether or not Jesus truly existed and if so, whether He was who He claimed to be.
