If you say: I believed in God, I trusted God and He didn't come through - You only trusted God to meet your agenda.

There is no way to have a real relationship without becoming vulnerable to hurt. Christmas tells us that God became breakable and fragile. God became someone we could hurt. Why? To get us back... No other religion-whethe r secularism, Greco-Roman paganism, Eastern religion, Judaism, or Islam-believes God became breakable or suffered or had a body.

Every other religion points to answers. Jesus, though, says 'I am the answer'.

Reason can get you to probability, but only commitment can get you to certainty.

Grace is the free, unmerited favor of God, working powerfully on the mind and heart to change lives.

We must neither confuse evangelism with doing justice, nor separate them from one another.
