The Essentials of Apologetics - Why Christianity (Part 3)?Robin Schumacher
This document is a presentation on why Christianity provides compelling answers to life's key questions about origin, purpose, and the afterlife. It summarizes atheistic views which conclude that life has no higher purpose or meaning. It then examines Christian teachings that humanity was created by God, should live with love, has purpose defined by God, and faces an afterlife of either eternal life with God or separation from him. The document asserts that Christianity alone can provide meaning, truth, love and security. It argues that through Jesus, God demonstrates his love for humanity and offers forgiveness and salvation as gifts through faith in him.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
