4 Different Types of Arguments Christians Should Use in the Public Square

There was a time when people in the West held to Christian morality as the default norm. It was seen as ‘self-evident’ and obvious.

Murray Campbell

A young Chinese woman with a little girl started attending our church three years ago. She was battling cancer and had decided that she needed answers to questions that went beyond her medical diagnosis: Why me? What is life meant to be about? Is there a God who is interested and cares? She needed answers to questions that went beyond her medical diagnosis: Why me? What is life meant to be about? Is there a God who is interested and cares? Christine was a highly intelligent and capable woman, raised in a family and culture that took atheism as a...
