Belief is knowing what you believe. Conviction is knowing why you believe it.

My greatest asset now is my focus.

Jesus claimed He had the power to raise himself from the dead and His followers would be raised from the dead. That's a unique claim in the literature of religion.

While the resurrection promises us a new and perfect life in the future, God loves us too much to leave us alone to contend with the pain, guilt and loneliness of our present life.

If there were more than one path to salvation then it would totally negate Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, his life, his teachings.

This is an important distinction, because most of the modern philosophies that deny that we can know reality, and ultimately truth, make the mistake of constructing epistemological systems to explain how we know reality without first acknowledging the fact that we do know reality. After they begin within the mind and find they can't construct a bridge to reality, they then declare that we can't know reality. It is like drawing a faulty road map before looking at the roads, then declaring that we can't know how to get from Chicago to New York!

Tolerance is the worst roar of all, including tolerance for homosexuals, feminists, and religions that don't follow Christ.
