I know Pastor Nuhad Hassan personally.

He is a Kurd from a Muslim background who converted to Christianity and led a church in Lebanon for over a decade.

On July 19, Pastor Nuhad went to Syria to visit his village, and on July 20 he was arrested by al-Julani’s government over posts he made during the Afrin massacre against the Kurds.

I just hung up the phone with friends and family members who are seriously concerned that he will be sentenced to death, the judges in Syria today are former ISIS jihadists, and they will sentence him according to sharia.

I will contact the members of Congress who support al-Julani and urge them to intervene for Pastor Nuhad’s release.

Please pray for him.

Even small faith is completely able to hold us.

If you feel like you’re slipping, backtrack and remember where God has been faithful in your life. Recounting His faithfulness reminds us we’re not dangling by a thread out on our own.

Our God is faithful. And we are held.

A common response to the fine-tuning argument is to say that of course the universe is finely tuned, because if it wasn't we wouldn't be here to observe it.

That's a truism and a tautology, not an explanation.

Think of it this way. You're standing before a firing squad of dozens of skilled shooters, all with loaded weapons pointed straight at you, who all fire at you simultaneously. Yet you walk away unscathed. Your response? Well, if I hadn't survived, I wouldn't be here to observe it. Does that explain this extremely improbable outcome? No. It's a statement of the obvious, but you'd be searching for answers.

In the same way, the fine-tuning of the universe to allow conscious life cries out for an explanation. The possibilities are that this happened by

1. Chance
2. Necessity
3. Design

Option 1 is the firing squad problem. The odds are so overwhelmingly against this "just happening" that proponents have resorted to untestable and bizarre explanations like an infinite multiverse.

There is no evidence for Option 2. Nothing in the laws of nature requires the finely-tuned parameters of the universe to be the way they are.

Logically, this leaves Option 3 as the most probable explanation.

When I was a physics student coming out of my lifelong atheism, I was deeply moved by this argument. It didn't matter what my prejudices were, the logic was so sound that I couldn't see any way around it.

This Easter, I invite you to look at Jesus, consider what he said and did, and ask for yourself what I believe is the most important question you will ever answer: Did he really leave behind an empty tomb? And if he did, what does that mean for you?
