As a former atheist, it took me forever to realize that an intellectual understanding of God was only the first step. The next step has to be a deep, personal knowledge of and reliance on Jesus. Nothing else will suffice.
Hard disagree.
This smacks of solipsism. There wouldn't be 2.2 billion Christians if this were true.
Not every Christian reads the Bible properly, but I've never encountered an atheist who has.
A big crack in my atheist foundation was finding out that two of my undergrad physics professors were devoutly Christian. They never proselytized, but we could all observe how they lived their lives. Never underestimate the evangelistic power of living out your faith.
YES: From Justin Bass on specific churches or denominations: "I would encourage people [to attend] wherever they're going to love Jesus the most, wherever they're going to be most conformed the most to Christ." @UnbelievableJB @DrJustinbass@profntwright

If you believe the world exists by chance and you are here thro a process of survival of the fittest, with no moral absolutes, then life is just about getting power. Nietzsche says that is the authentic way to live if the Christian God does not exist. See: https://t.co/2s44kLqo3l
As an atheist kid growing up in a secular country, I loved Christmas carols. I had no idea what they meant, but they had weight and beauty to them like no secular holiday songs I'd ever heard. They're even more beautiful now that I know their meaning.

“The idea that human rights hang there in the ether waiting to be discovered is as theological as believing that the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and is seated at the right hand of the Father.” @holland_tom
@sarahsalviander Surely you already knew about this account, am I right? I use it to torment my children all the time. It's a veritable gold mine.

Battling #Cancer is hell. Most have lost at least one loved one, and Tim Keller @timkellernyc is one of the most effective theologians we have.
On Dec. 15, Tim speaks with Justin Brierley @UnbelievableJB on the topic of "Walking with God through Cancer."

According to @ntwrightonline, in several ancient instances of democracy, elected officials were held to account after elections with formal mechanisms that had teeth. For example, misbehaving officials could be cast out of their cities by popular vote.🤔

The Romans were quite willing to admit that Christ was a god. What they denied was that He was the God — the highest truth of the cosmos. And this is the only point worth discussing about Christianity.
