EXCERPT FROM JESUS AMONG SECULAR GODS
A REASONED DEFENSE by Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale
The word argument has a bad reputation these days, especially among many Christians. Raise the possibility of providing an argument for the Christian faith, and someone may quote the apostle Paul: “The Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone” (2 Tim. 2:24, NIV).
This view is unfortunate because an argument need not be emotional at all. Quarreling and arguing are two different things. Properly defined, an argument is “a coherent series of reasons, statements, or facts intended to support or establish a point of view.”1 Arguments are not controversial; arguments are true or false, inaccurate or plausible. Rather, it is the subject matter of arguments that can sometimes generate more heat than light. It is the delivery or the intent— often to illustrate why another person is mistaken—that triggers an emotional response. For this reason arguments must be presented graciously and respectfully, as Peter urged in 1 Peter 3:15. However, nothing is emotional or improper about an argument itself. In the context of evangelism, a natural objection arises: “You cannot argue
someone into the kingdom of God.” And to a fair extent this is indeed true. Scripture is very clear that new birth, eternal life, forgiveness of sins, and adoption into God’s family are acts of God, not humans. Conversion is a supernatural act of God. Even so, argumentation is important in helping to remove intellectual barriers to faith in Christ. In Scripture, God used argumentation to convict His people and convince them of the truth. Job 38:1–42:6 shows God thoughtfully engaging in an argument with Job to reveal who He is and what He has done. Job responded in humility and repentance. Similarly, in Isaiah 1:18-20 God invited His people to “reason together” with Him (v. 18, ESV) as He urged them to repent of their sin. In the New Testament Paul was a master of argumentation, along with teaching, preaching, warning, giving testimonies, continued on page 12

and proclaiming the good news about Jesus. In 2 Corinthians 10:5 he pointed out that believers must “demolish arguments” and “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
just a few years after Jesus’ crucifixion, there was no possible way for legendary elements to creep in. What Paul reported to the Corinthians therefore reflects the beliefs of the very first Christians.
Not only did the early church value the importance of thoughtfully engaging with others on matters of truth, but it also placed a premium on faithfully preserving and transmitting important evidence about Christ. The clearest example of this effort is known as a creed, which is a concise formula of religious belief. Creeds were used to teach young Christians to defend the faith from intellectual attack.
The historical foundations of the Christian faith are indeed firm. When believers argue, they argue for historical truth, not legend.
The New Testament incorporates ancient creeds that already existed prior to its composition. One of the most important creeds was recorded by the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:3-8. Paul likely learned this creed from Peter and James during his visit to Jerusalem three years after his conversion (see Gal. 1:18-19). Because many scholars date Paul’s conversion between A.D. 31 and A.D. 33,2 the creed would therefore be quite early. It can safely be concluded, then, that Jesus’ resurrection is not a legendary development. Legends and myths take many years to develop. Because the creed recorded in 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 was formulated at most

DEFINING OUR TERMS by Kelly Minter
You shall have no other gods before me (Exodus 20:3 NIV). Identity. Need. Pain. These are just a few of the catalysts behind our search for false gods. But what about something more vague? What about God’s silence? Often when the Lord is quiet or not acting on our behalf in the way we thought or hoped He would, we decide we’re on our own. We justify a functional god here, an idol there, because after all, where is God? At least the false god we’re looking to in place of Him is present with us.
BIBLESTUDYINSIDER.COM
EXCERPT FROM NO OTHER GODS
After God delivered the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt, He called Moses to meet with Him on Mount Sinai to give Moses the Ten Commandments. Moses was a mediator between Israel and God. Moses spoke directly with the Lord and then passed on His messages to the people. If Moses was out of pocket, it was almost as if God had disappeared as well. Though I don’t believe God ever truly removes His presence from us (Ps. 139:7-10), we see places in Scripture where God was silent, or darkness obscured His presence for different purposes. Sometimes His felt absence was sin related, and other times it appears to be used as a test or growth period for His children. Take for example Exodus 33:3 when God threatened not to go with the Israelites because they were stiff-necked. In a much different situation found in Job 23:8, a righteous man named Job lamented that no matter where he went he couldn’t find God. Sometimes we sense God more palpably in our lives than at others times. When His presence feels more distant, if not completely gone, we must resist the temptation to substitute the tangible things that we can touch and feel for the God we temporarily can’t sense. Clearly the people didn’t do what Moses had instructed the elders to do, which was wait for him to return. Instead, they got antsy and asked Aaron to make them new gods. He agreed, casting a golden calf from their gold earrings. I know what you’re thinking. How could the Israelites do this? Moses, sent by God and
16
with the power of God, had delivered them from the captivity of the Egyptians. They’d seen Moses work a host of miracles such as turning water into blood. They watched him raise his staff and the sea split in two. They walked across on dry ground and then watched while the waters closed up on the Egyptians behind them. But all that was a little while ago, and they hadn’t seen Moses for a few weeks. So they started wondering, maybe Aaron could come up with a new god for us. It’s easy to look at the Israelites and wonder how in the world they got there so fast. But when was the last time the Lord did something in your life, something you knew was from Him, and within days, weeks, or months you faced a new situation wondering where He was? You found yourself quickly looking to someone or something other than the Lord Almighty to step in and help you. The Israelites turned God’s gifts into gods. The thought of the Israelites taking the very gold that God had given them as a blessing and using that gold to create objects of worship is particularly grievous. How easy it is for us to take the good gifts of people and possessions that God has generously given us, and then turn them into the most sacred affections of our hearts. What gifts of God have you turned into something you live for, depend on, or can’t live without? God gave the Israelites gold as earrings and they turned that same gold into a calf. The gold was the same, but its function dramatically changed. This reminds me
of the definition of a false god that describes how even some of the good things in our lives can become detrimental when they take the place of God. As you move into a closing prayer, consider this A. W. Tozer quote from the The Pursuit of God:
SIN HAS INTRODUCED COMPLICATIONS AND HAS MADE THOSE VERY GIFTS OF GOD A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF RUIN TO THE SOUL. You’ve probably noticed that I often end our lessons with a prayer or a personal reflection. This is because we can only deal with the false gods that take up space in our lives by allowing God to treat our hearts. Spend time in prayer confessing the gifts you’ve turned into false gods. Ask God to show you how to put them in their proper places. Then thank Him for those gifts He’s given you.
