The Cultural Impact Of Worldview & Apologetics

Here at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Apologetics as an evangelistic endeavor and intellectual theological outreach finds itself in something of a paradox.

No Life On Mars

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 1, 2023

When Paul went to "Mars" Hill in Athens he found no spiritual life there. Though Greece had made a great contribution to the world's philosophy and thought, it's offering for salvation was empty. But there was life on Mars when Paul left!

NO LIFE ON MARS Acts 17:22-31 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Today I was at the hospital with someone and they remarked how that when they went in for surgery last time, the doctor drew a big picture on their side so he wouldn’t operate on the wrong side.

Who Is Your God? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 25, 2023

Paul talked a lot about his faith and his Jesus because he knew who his God was. And what Paul did is something you and I can do... if we know God the way he did. What did Paul know about God that we sometimes don't?

A farmer decided he knew as much as any doctor, so he opened doctor’s office in town. He charged $500 a visit, but he promised that if he couldn’t cure you he’d give you $1,000. The town’s regular doctor was offended by that and decided to expose him as a fraud, so He went to the farmer’s office ...read more
