Lee Strobel Quotes

Few things accelerate the peace process as much as humbly admitting our own wrongdoing and asking forgiveness.

Believing the right things about Jesus isn’t enough. You’re not adopted as God’s child until you confess and turn away from your wrongdoing and receive the freely offered gift of forgiveness and eternal life that Jesus purchased with his death on the cross. Until you do that, you’ll always be on the outside looking in.

Science itself is steadily nailing the lid on atheism’s coffin.

A lot of people don’t give much thought to what they believe, and it’s easy for them to hold what often are two conflicting ideas in their head at the same time.

Doubts can produce positive side-effects – if you work toward resolving them.

The Resurrection is the supreme vindication of Jesus’ divine identity and his inspired teaching. It’s the proof of his triumph over sin and death. It’s the foreshadowing of the resurrection of his followers. It’s the basis of Christian hope. It’s the miracle of all miracles.
