Arango's Apologetics Page: A Short Defense of Joseph Smith

Dr. Rebecca McLaughlin Spoke at an Apologetics Conference

Dr. Rebecca McLaughlin was recently a keynote speaker in the annual Next-Gen Apologetics Conference plenary lecture at Liberty University, according to an article from February 11, 2022 by Jacob Couch for Liberty University's Office of Communications & Public Engagement. In addition, according to the same article, it was the seventh Next-Gen conference which was sponsored by the Center for Apologetics & Cultural Engagement. One of the things Dr. McLaughlin said, according to Mr. Couch was the following:

“(Early American universities) were founded to bring glory to Christ,” she said. … “Christians invented what we call science not as an alternative belief that we were created by God but because they believed in a created order that was both rational and free.”

Why is Ravi Zacharias' organization seemingly out of the apologetics business?

A recent article in Christianity Today by Daniel Silliman was titled: RZIM Will No Longer Do Apologetics. A portion of the article read as follows:

CEO Sarah Davis announced to staff Wednesday morning that over the next six months, the downsized ministry will remake itself as a grant-making charity. It plans to give money to organizations fulfilling its original purpose of defending the truth of the gospel as well as organizations that care for victims of sexual abuse.

Obviously, it is a huge announcement when an organization stops doing what it does.

RZIM has published the following: Open Letter from the International Board of Directors of RZIM on the Investigation of Ravi Zacharias at the following link:

The following is an excerpt from the aforementioned.

The findings of this investigation and their public release will be devastating to Ravi’s wife, son, and daughters, and to his entire family. Our hearts are broken for them, and we grieve with the weight of being part of this unimaginable pain. We pray for the Zacharias family and mourn with them in this time of severe loss. It is our hope that they will receive the healing and restoration that God alone can provide. 

To close, in case you didn't know, I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news to anyone who has supported RZIM in the past. I don't judge, but I do send prayers for the victims, as well as the perpetrator and his family. Blessings!

Alter vs Altar

If you wish to alter, spending time at the altar is a good place to start.
