Many know I am a licensed pastor, although I am not currently serving in vocational ministry, but many people I know now don’t know the long road that led there.
A young man recently asked me, “Does God exist?” I assured him that he most certainly does. I also offered a few brief thoughts for him to consider and offered to continue the conversation. But I wouldn’t have always given that answer.
I was raised in the Catholic church, but I went through a period of atheism and a long period as an agnostic and seeker. I denied the existence of any diety at one point. I bought into the from nothing to nothing and no point to anything arguments. I also went through a time where I could acknowledge a ‘power greater than myself’ but couldn’t decide on any identification of one god, gods, spiritual realms, mythologies, legends, including witchcraft, the occult, various Eastern and ancient philosophical and belief systems, etc… it took several long years before coming to the conclusion that Jesus was indeed who the Bible, and by extension, who he himself claims to be and accepted him as my God and Savior.
As a result of that journey, I love apologetics, which is the defense of the Christian faith, and materials related to the study of apologetics. I just finished listening to “Evidence that Demands a Verdict” by Josh and Sean McDowell on Audible. I had read a previous edition once before. It is an excellent book for those interested in the study, but it is a bit deep and scholarly, not a light and easy read. For easier reading, I would recommend many of Lee Strobel’s works, like “The Case for Faith” and “The Case for Christ.”
Here is a good article on the divinity of Christ.
