Defending the Faith: 2018 West Coast Conference
A questions and answers session with W. Robert Godfrey and Stephen Nichols.
Questions:
-
How do we keep hope and joy during this day of increased hostility to Christ and to truth? With so much of the culture being anti-Christian, how do we engage others with respect without triggering animosity?
-
Where’s the fine line in witnessing at the workplace? Working in a secular environment that’s tainted by sin, when do we call out sin? When do we speak up?
-
How do we bring God into the picture for those who appear to be fully content without Him? How do we help them see that their ways are in vain?
-
Can unsaved people do real good, or are their actions still steeped in sin?
-
Why did God create?
-
How did God inspire the Bible?
-
How is the Bible’s claim to be from God more legitimate than the claims of the Qur’an or other sacred texts?
