https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZgptYt3AP8 In today's video we are going to answer  the question of why should I go to  church when it's just so full of  hypocrites. To answer the question, we have to actually start  with a more foundational question and  that question is: What is hypocrisy? Hypocrisy comes from a Greek word  that was associated with the stage, when  an actor would wear a mask and they  would play a part and pretend to be  someone they're not. Technically the  definition of a hypocrite is someone who  is pretending to be something that  they're not, establishing a standard that  they're actually living in opposition to. However in today's society and in the  church, oftentimes when we talk about  hypocrites, what we mean is someone who's  just failing to live according…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxXvWjPDlLU The question of whether good, moral,  ethical people will go to heaven has a  deceptively simple answer. Yes,  absolutely. Good, moral, ethical people  will go to heaven. That's a  relief to most people because most  people consider themselves to be  basically good, moral and ethical. They  compare themselves to other people and  feel “I'm probably above average.” The  problem is that God doesn't grade on a  curve, he grades each person according to  his perfect standard of holiness. The  good news is that good moral, ethical  people will go to heaven but the bad  news is that no human being, except Jesus,  has been truly good and truly moral and  truly ethical. The Bible says in Romans 3:23  that we all fall short of God's  standards. And we don't…

I believe God exists simply by looking at the marvels of the things in the universe. We use the word cosmos to refer the universe because this word means orderly universe. The universe is indeed orderly! No one would believe that a watch would fall into place all by itself; yet many people choose to believe that the universe, which is far more intricate, came about by chance. The Bible also appeals to God’s creation as proof of His existence. (Rom 1:20 NIV)  For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Fine Tuning of the Universe 6 PROOFS FOR GOD’S EXISTENCE SCIENTISTS SPEAK OUT ABOUT EVIDENCE OF…

Free thinkers are people who do not think so much about religion because they are preoccupied with their earthly life. We can ask, “Do you know where you will be if your life were to end suddenly?” Share specific examples when people’s life ended abruptly when they least expected. Eg. Sept 11 World Trade Centre attacks It is important to pursue the things of life but we also need to spare some time to think of what comes after.

It’s good to hear that you believe in God OR It’s good to hear that you go to church regularly but do you know Jesus as your Savior? The Bible teaches that the only way to God is through Jesus. (John 14:6 NIV)  Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. When we go to God through Jesus, it means that we do not rely on other things to save us. We do not rely on our own goodness. The Bible teaches that we are not saved by our good deeds. Salvation is a free gift from God given to those who put their faith entirely on Jesus Christ. (Eph 2:8-9 NIV)  For it is by grace…

https://youtu.be/jxXvWjPDlLU Transcript of the video It is true that we can find many good people, who are good by man’s standards. But God’s standards are not man’s standards. God’s holiness is perfect. That is why the Bible says that everyone has fallen short of God’s standard. (Rom 3:23 NIV)  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, While some people are more righteous than others, think for a moment how this is relevant when we are viewing from God’s viewpoint. Supposing someone has an IQ of 150, very high indeed, while another who is not so fortunate only has an IQ of 80. While the first is much smarter than the second, how are they compared to God who has an infinite knowledge? It doesn’t seem…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjK7AIV7ZiQ Jesus said a very unpopular thing in John 14. He said, "I'm the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me." Now anyone can make a claim like that but only Jesus has demonstrated by rising from the dead that he's a unique son of God. And so he has special credibility when he makes that claim. Well does that mean the Christians are narrow-minded when they believe him? No, absolutely not. Look at it this way. I was flying from Chicago to California the other day and as we were coming in for a landing the pilot could have chosen to put the plane down in a neighborhood or in the ocean around a mountainside but instead he chose a single…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar4LfuOtrmI Is God good? If he is, why is there suffering and evil? Let us assume for the moment that God is all-powerful. This means that God can do anything that is logically possible. So he can create galaxies and sub-atomic particles and rainforests and you. But God cannot do what is logically impossible. He cannot make a square circle or a one-ended stick. So can God make a rock so big that he can't lift it? No. So what if when God created human beings he wanted them to be free? Freedom's a good thing but if humans are to be free, they cannot be forced to obey God. Because freedom without choice is like a square circle. It's a logical contradiction. No choice, no freedom. God didn't want…
