Coversational Apologetics:Jesus Talks with Buddha

Image
When once asked "who would be your dream interview?" Larry King without hesitating said "Jesus Christ of Nazareth!" Well, Larry will have his day in the sun, or should I say his day before the Son, as we all will, when Jesus returns and judges the deeds of men. Needless to say the world would have tuned in for that conversation, ratings would have hit the proverbial ceiling and beyond. While I’m on this course of thought, what other conversations would make your millennium, if you had the chance to witness them? Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X; Martin Luther and Brian McLaren; Lemuel Haynes and T.D. Jakes; what about John Calvin and Jacobus Arminius? In the book 'The Lotus and the Cross: Jesus talks with Buddha', author and apologist Ravi Zacharias gives us a respectable, and God honoring glimpse into the what if. In a conversational apologetic style, Ravi brings us court side into what the conversation might of been like, if Jesus Christ spoke w

Sanctification in Golf?!!

I started playing golf in 2010, and I love it! It’s a new challenge for me. See I've played basketball for most of my life and while I still love the game for the sheer beauty that it possesses when played correctly; when five men unite, not only, for a common goal but accomplishing that goal as a unit, it is a sight to behold. Of course it’s great to see the superstar put his team on his back and drop 81 points too! Individually, it’s nothing like being on a court alone; perfecting the craft of hoops; shooting till your arm goes limp; hitting imaginary buzzer –beaters. But for all that basketball gives, it can sure be taxing on the body, and even this 26 year old has been through a few audits. So golf has been a welcome addition to my life. For what it lacks in physicality, it makes up in the challenges it presents. My Golf Instructor once exclaimed that it is “the most challenging game out there” I agree. I have also learnt, rather quickly, the spiritual benefits of golf, for eve

The Attributes of God: What Is Sin?

I'm loving Shai Linne's new album 'The Attributes of God!' I think I can say without error that no one to date in the Christian Hip-Hop community has dedicated an entire album to the subject matter. And if it was anyone that was certainly equipped to attempt a feat of such theological loftiness, to a rap beat, it would be Shai Linne. If you are a lover of God; a lover of Christian Hip-Hop; young or old; you will enjoy the God glorifying lyrics and banging beats to brother Shai's latest project 'The Attributes of God.' I was particularly blessed by Track 8 "All Consuming Fire" which highlights a rather unpopular attribute of God, his wrath. This attribute of God is consistent with his holiness; absolutely pure and set apart. No other attribute of God reverberates throughout the scriptures regarding his nature quite like Holy, Holy, Holy (Isaiah 6:1-7). For it is the attribute of holiness which encompasses his nature and through which the other r
