Philip Yancey said," It occurs to me that all the contorted theories
about Jesus that have been spontaneously generating since the day of his
death merely confirm the awesome risk God took when he stretched himself
out on the dissection table--a risk he seemed to welcome. Examine me.
Test me. You decide." I believe that Yancey's words represent the future
of the Christian walk. 1 Peter 3:15 says, that the believer is to always
be prepared to give an answer for the hope that is in them. There is a
large majority of the Christian church that is completely lethargic
concerning why they are Christians. Questions that are seemingly
complex, go unanswered because of a misappropriation of power. Instead
of being hungry for the knowledge of Christianity in it's totality, B.C.
And A.D., many stop at the gifts and calls. The reason the muslims,
atheist, and buddhist are more knowledgable of Christian history is
because they study our faith with the intent of finding contradictions.
What God is saying is study to show thyself approved. Studying
transcends merely reading.
