How do you witness to an atheist? The same way you witness to anyone following a cult and the same way you witness to a false convert. You take the person through some of the 10 Commandments. God gave us the commandments for a reason. God is righteous and Holy and His standard is perfection. Jesus summed up the 10 Commandments this way: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-39). [Read more…]
Of course Patrick Henry said those famous words, “Give me liberty or give me death.” This is what we’ve been taught in school and this is the part we remember. But what Patrick Henry really said was this, “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!

I was talking to an atheist the other day, whom I’ve had many conversations with in the past. He said he didn’t believe in God (he’s said this many times in the past). But this time he stated again that he didn’t believe in God; but if he’s wrong, that God would consider him a good person. This atheist is very close to me, someone that I love. I genuinely believe that he thinks that he is a good person. [Read more…]
