    A sermon on doubt (Material taken from Gary Habermas’ book, Dealing with Doubt)

    It is one of the strangest phenomena that you could ever discover that in the Bible, from beginning to ending, there is never any argument, any defense, any presentation, any discussion concerning the existence and the reality and the being of God, never.

    Jesus doesn’t send us to the comfortable places only, to declare Him. Sometimes we need to be in the dark places.

    It is dark and scary living in our sinful world. But Christ lights it by: 1. Chasing the darkness out of guilty consciences, and 2. Chasing the darkness from the problems sin causes.

    What does it mean to be a person of integrity? Well, the word derives from the word integer, which means something that’s complete or whole in itself. So when you’re reading a letter like Ephesians, which concentrates so much on unity in the Church, it’s appropriate that we think about unity of our ...read more
