New Release: The Moral Argument

Why Universal Morals Still Matter in Apologetics

I’m excited to announce the release of a new short book from Lamad Press: The Moral Argument. This work is an expanded, standalone version of a chapter originally published in Contending for the Truth, but it quickly became clear that the argument needed to breathe on its own. Why? Because most Christians (and most search engines) aren’t looking for apologetics content buried in a book titled Contending for the Truth. They’re looking for answers to specific questions. And this book addresses one of the most common and neglected ones: Can morality point to God?

What Happens to People Who Never Hear the Gospel?

One of the biggest questions that we struggle with as Christians is—what happens to those who have never heard about God? This is a very important question and, in many ways, the answer is fairly depressing. Does God have mercy on those who were never reached by Christians? The short answer is no.

The Power of Reason for Evangelism

A few weeks ago, I posted The Power of Your Testimony. In this post, I discussed why your testimony can be so powerful for evangelism, but I also made the claim that reason is another one of these powerful tools. Now, there are other tools we can use to spread our faith, but these two blogs focus on what you can say to convince others that God is real and worth pursuing.

The Power of Your Testimony

Despite what we often think, the most powerful tool for evangelism isn’t just bringing up the “Romans Road” as many of us have been taught. For those of you who don’t know, the “Romans Road” is basically five verses in Romans that make up our need for Christ, what He has done for us, and how we go about surrendering to Him (See Romans 3:23, 6:23, 5:8, 10:9 and 5:1). Though knowing and being able to teach what it is to become a Christian is vastly important, it isn’t the most powerful tool for the job. It really is rather simple, but that is a blog for another time. From a teaching standpoint, there are two tools that are more powerful than the Romans Road. These are your testimony and reason. They come at it from two completely different angles, and they both have their positives and negatives. Realistically, the most powerful tool is a combination of the two but addressing them both individually will hopefully show how to use either one as a witness for Christ. Obviously, based on the title of this blog, I am addressing the former one. I will be doing a blog on the power of reason for evangelism in the next couple of weeks and will link to that on here.
