The Debate

Last night my husband, part of his family and I drove about an hour away to hear a debate between an Atheist and a Christian.  Following the debate one of the hubs favorite authors, Ravi Zacharias, spoke.  This was the first debate (other than the silly ones we would have in class) that I've ever been to.  I was actually pretty excited.  I was interested in hearing their arguments.

Sadly, I was not impressed with the two men debating.  I mean the debate was short and they didn't have a lot of time to form their arguments, but I didn't think either argued their side well.  Thankfully Ravi Zacharias turned that all around during his time on the stage.

He made some really good arguments and gave great examples of how we can KNOW God exists.  Ravi was once an atheist himself, so he knows what it's like to be on the other side.  To really try and deny God.  But even though he tried to live life not believing anything, he eventually came to the conclusion that there is more.  God is real.  There is a Creator.  There is a Savior.

If anything I walked away from last night wanting to know more and wanting to do my part in making my relationship with God stronger.  What if I was asked some of the questions those men were asked?  Would I be able to defend my God?  Would I have the knowledge?  There is always room to grow, right?

Anyways...

After the Debate we stood in line for a good half hour or more so Brett and his brother, Chris, could get their books signed by Ravi.  It was fun to watch them as we inched closer and closer.  They were like children in line to meet Santa Clause or something.  They were so excited!

And just in case you need proof...
