Why Be A Christian

On 11.14.08, In Apologética, Religión, By Arturo

Why be a Christian? Have you ever asked yourself that question?

You might ask it for any of a number of reasons. Maybe someone has been talking to you about “giving your life to Jesus,” and you’re wondering whether and why you should. Maybe you come from a Christian background and wonder whether all that religious training you received as a child still has any meaning for you.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, I sat in my basement staring in utter shock as I watched the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York collapse right before my eyes. The sight of two planes flying directly into the towers was horrific, but when I saw those enormous towers, possibly the world’s most vivid symbols of man’s power, completely fall within a matter of minutes I was shaken to the bone, numbed and left trembling in disbelief.
