Friday Apologetics Finds: Conferences You Won't Want To Miss!

This week, I have a lot of information for those of you who are thinking about attending an apologetics conference. Here are this week's apologetics finds:

1) The 2011 Online Apologetics Conference is happening April 7-9! The theme this year is, "Defending Christianity and God’s Plan for Marriage, Family, and Life through Creative Arts such as Film and Literature." The keynote Speaker will be Dr. Gene Edward Veith Jr. Other Confirmed Speakers include Mikel Del Rosario, Dr. Holly Ordway, and Brian Auten among others. If you are planning on attending, be sure to register soon, because early registrants pay half-price!


2) A debate will be taking place in North Carolina between Christian philosopher and theologian Dr. William Lane Craig and eminent atheist physicist Dr. Lawrence Krauss on the topic: Is There Evidence for God? The debate, which begins 6 pm, March 30th (end time, 9pm), can be viewed live via Internet webcast here.  (Anytime thereafter, the debate can be watched on the site, as well.) Attendance is free!

3) For my readers in Wisconsin, the Immersion Apologetics Conference will be held on April 16th, from 9am - 5pm at Poplar Creek Church. One of the speakers is Dr. Holly Ordway, a former atheist who now advocates the Christian worldview. Part of the conference description is as follows: "As Christians, we are called to evangelize, to teach the good news, to protect against false teaching, to defend the truth, and to always have an answer for the hope within us. Join us at our upcoming conference in your area that will help believers learn, grow, and defend." All the details can be found here or at Jesusexisted.org.

4) Bonus find: Be sure to check out Lee Strobel's recently launched newsletter. It's jam-packed with great apologetics information.

Until next time, Happy Friday!

Due to the overwhelming amount of apologetics material being put forth almost daily, I cannot guarantee that I will cover everything in a single post. However, it is my objective to present a small handful of material to you, my readers, bi-weekly. If you know of some apologetics material that you would like to see presented here in the future, you can contact me using the corresponding tab above (Note: please do not leave these links in the comments, as I will have to review the material before publishing; please contact me via email. Thanks.)

Did Pontius Pilate actually exist?

Antonio Ciseri's painting of Pontius Pilate presenting Christ to the crowd. For years, skeptics have claimed that Pontius Pilate, the one responsible for Jesus' execution, was nothing more than a mythical figure. Is this true? And whether or not it is true, what is the significance of this? The implications of this are simple: if Pontius Pilate, did not exist, then the critics are right in stating that the Bible is in error. However, if he did exist, then it proves once again that the Bible is accurate in its details. Let's begin by examining Matthew 27:2. It reads, "And when they had bound Him, they led Him away, and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor." Was Pilate really a governor? Luke 3:1 seems to agree: "Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea , and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias t

April Fools

Today is April Fool's Day. While I am not too enthralled with the idea of playing tricks on people, I wanted to share a little story with you all (no offense meant to those to whom it refers): An atheist complained to a Christian friend, "You Christians have your sacred holidays, such as Christmas and Easter. Jews celebrate their national holidays, such as Passover and Yom Kippur. But we atheists have no recognized national holidays. It's unfair discrimination." His friend replied, "Why don't you celebrate April first?" On a more serious note, I would like to remind you all that we are called to be "fools for Christ" (1 Corinthians 4:10). This does not mean that we are to act stupid in the name of Christ; rather, it means that we are to go about God's business -- even if it makes us look like fools in the process. Today is as good a day as any to go out and spread the Gospel, to be a fool for Christ!  P.S. Don't forget : The Online

Quote of the Week: Ravi Zacharias On The Problem of Evil

Image
"When you say there's too much evil in this world you assume there's good. When you assume there's good, you assume there's such a thing as a moral law on the basis of which to differentiate between good and evil. But if you assume a moral law, you must posit a moral Law Giver, but that's Who you're trying to disprove and not prove. Because if there's no moral Law Giver, there's no moral law. If there's no moral law, there's no good. If there's no good, there's no evil. What is your question?" ~ Ravi Zacharias, in response to the objection, "There cannot be a God, because there is too much evil in this world"
