why skepticism?

Skepticism = Intelligence

This formula is a favorite when it comes to considering the Bible. It is a given for me that when someone is really skeptical about the Bible they fall into two camps.

1. They haven’t actually studied the Bible

2. They have studied the Bible, but don’t want to follow the moral guidelines that are summarized within its pages

Rarely do I come across a person whose moral standards are similar to the biblical model, knows the Bible’s content, and is skeptical. When you examine the evidence of the Bible and you are open to following Jesus you quite often become his follower.

There are a variety of events in a person’s life that may draw him/her to Christ. More than any other, of course, are times of crisis. It doesn’t have to be this way. If someone is open to actually being changed in their thinking, then simply examining the evidence in a caring Christian community can be enough.

One such opportunity of learning is an Alpha course.
