mid-week apologetics booster (8-15-2019)

Good morning friends,

Here is a random quote (of over 1200) from Nuggets:

The most spectacular and impressive miracle recorded in the Bible is recorded in the opening line of Genesis, Chapter 1: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Christians believe the beginning of the universe was a supernatural event. As a skeptic investigating the claims of Christianity, I eventually had to admit that I also accepted the origin of the universe as a supernatural, miraculous event, and if God had the power necessary to create everything from nothing, he could probably pull off the miracles described in the New Testament. – J. Warner Wallace

We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” — but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:6-10

Blessings to you all
