As a pastor i am often asked questions on why I believe what I believe

I am often asked about my faith. In terms of pastors and religious leaders doing the wrong things. I tell them that they have lost their way. Earthly pleasures and power make them stay. We are only human. However for as many that stray there are many many more who keep on the path. Teaching the word of God, and creating miracles in the world.

My 20 year old son told me he loves Jesus and the Holy Spirit. When I asked him to elaborate, he began to tell me all religions lead to God. I was then able to share with him the road to salvation is narrow and only through Jesus can we reach our Heavenly Father. We had a very thoughtful discussion; ending with my son saying he would think about what I said. I’m still praying for his salvation.

Many times, defense of the faith comes in the area of giving. Many will not come to believe Jesus because they believe giving is doctrine taught by man and not God, even when you have the evidence of scripture. Then most will say that the bible was wrote by man and God had nothing to do with it. All that to say, that most times the best defense is being an example of Christ by how we live our lives and pray that God will have an encounter with an unbelieving soul as He did for us. Until then however, we have to be kind and gentle. This can be easier said than done.

Now that we have started to minister via social media, there are several people who ask complex questions pertaining to the validity of Christ, Christianity and religion altogether. It was hard for me to not get emotional or angry so instead, I remained quiet. I know arguing or “trying to prove a point” would only deepen the unbelief. I am hoping this course, and subsequent courses, will guide me on how to respond respectively and with Love.
