I've decided to read the book "Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel (1998). I've been a Christian since I was 4 years old, so the concepts being presented aren't new to me. But I've been feeling lately like I don't know what I'm believing.Ok, before anyone freaks out that I'm having a crisis of faith, I assure you, I'm not! :) My faith is strong, my love for God unfaltering. I guess I just felt like I wanted to be better prepared to present my faith as fact to anyone who may ask. Call it an honest to goodness case of curiosity! :)
For those of you who have never heard about the book, a small background -- Lee Strobel was a reporter who specifically reported on court cases (he has a law degree). He was a self proclaimed athiest, and when his wife became a Christian, he set out to proove that the Jesus, this self proclaiming 'Christ', was false. Long story short, he couldn't do it, and ended up discovering just the opposite -- that Jesus did indeed live, and the he always has and always will be the Christ, the Son of God. The book is Lee's compilation of interviews he conducted, facts, texts, and historical evidence backing up this truth.
All that being said, I want to invite you to read it with me! I think I'm going to try to post on this blog some of the things I'm learning, and I'd love to hear your thoughts as well. I pray that this will be a time of learning more about the God I love, and a re-affirmation of his continual presence, both on earth as he completed his purpose for us (his death and resurrection), and now as he reigns in heaven with his Heavenly Father, and ministers to our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
Join with me on my journey! Let's re-find Jesus!
