The Bible says if anybody asks you for a reason for the hope that you have within you, always be willing and ready to give an answer. The resurrection is the difference between Christianity and every other religion. If you deny the resurrection, hell has no meaning. The Bible teaches that death is the enemy, and the resurrection is the goal. Christians are pro-life, pro-birth, and pro-life all the way through until the very end. The opportunity we have is given that hope so that people can catch the idea of man, following Jesus is a blast. Having a Savior that can tell you about God and the meaning of certain things is such a joy. [... more]
