How Can Christ Be the Only Way to God?
William Lane Craig I recently spoke at a major Canadian university on the existence of God. After my talk, one slightly irate co-ed wrote on her comment card, “I was with you until you got to the stuff about Jesus. God is not the Christian God!” This attitude is pervasive in Western culture today. Most people are happy to agree that God exists; but in our pluralistic society it has become politically incorrect to claim that God has revealed Himself decisively in Jesus. And yet this is exactly what the New Testament clearly teaches. Take the letters of the apostle Paul, for example. He invites his Gentile converts to recall their pre-Christian…

Blessings
This is one of 2 songs I consider anthems of my life. After learning to live with pain that cannot be resolved in this life, I remember God’s purpose in it all and that makes my world make sense again.

The Gospel Message is Foolishness to the Wise (of this world)
“For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, “I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE.” Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For indeed Jews…

This is REAL Christianity
People being saved by the grace of God through faith. (Romans 10:9) People being delivered from demonic oppression and possession by the POWER of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 10:8, Mark 16:17) People being baptized into the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:19) People praying in the Spirit and speaking in tongues. (1 Cor 14:13, Acts 2:4)
