Christianity Still Makes Sense Dr. Bobby Conway

In this episode of 'Christianity Still Makes Sense' Tim and Bobby dive into the pluralist objection to Christianity that many people struggle with. Though this objection certainly isn't new, it is hardly surprising that it has become an even greater hindrance to people over recent years. Particularly when one considers the cultural climate we find ourselves in today that values diversity, equity, and inclusion above all things. Bobby answers questions such as:
- Can't there be more than one way to a destination?
- Can the validity of someone's beliefs be measured by their sincerity?
- Are Christians too dogmatic about the idea that Jesus is the only way to heaven?
- Isn't love the only thing that matters?
And much more!

In this episode we are introduced to Tim's non-Christian, super skeptical twin, Mit who explodes onto the scene with lots of questions for the Doc. Some of the objections covered include:
The hiddenness of God.
What would God's presence even feel like?
What evidence is there for the existence of God?
Isn't morality just a social construct?
What about people who do evil in the name of God?

Oprah says the most important tool you have is "speaking your truth". But what does that mean if we're living in a post-truth era. If truth can mean anything, it quickly means nothing. I this episode of 'Christianity Still Makes Sense' Tim and Bobby discuss some of the philosophy that got us here and how we can respond.Pre-Order your copy of 'Does Christianity Still Make Sense?'

7 Marks of a Spiritually Mature Christian
1 Corinthians 16
 
1.      Spiritually Mature Christians Are Marked by Generosity
 
“We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord, begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints” (2 Corinthians 8:1-4).
 
“Thus says the Lord of hosts: These people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the Lord.”Then the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways. You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes” (Haggai 1:2-6).
 
 
2.  Spiritually Mature Christians Are Marked by Discernment
 
“Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth” (Ephesians 4:14, NLT).
 
“Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good” (1 Peter 2:2-3).
 
“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths” (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

1 Corinthians 15
 
Questions to Ponder:
 
First off, do you believe in Jesus? I mean, are you trusting in the death, burial, and resurrection as your hope for both now and beyond the grave?
 
Second, if not, what’s preventing you from believing? Like what’s it going to take to remove the barriers to belief you’re experiencing?
 
Third, given that this life is our rehearsal for eternity what adjustments do you need to make in your life to make it count the most for Christ?
 
Fourth, knowing that we aren’t meant to keep our faith to ourselves, is there anyone you can offer some hope to by extending an invite to our upcoming Easter service?
