Greg Koukl, born June 10th 1950, is a Christian apologist and founder of Stand to Reason Christian website. He is the author of many Christian apologetic books that will, I am sure, ignite your interest in Christianity.
“Some say Christianity is just a crutch. But let’s turn the question on its edge for a moment. Is atheism an emotional crutch, wishful thinking? The ax cuts both ways. Perhaps atheists are rejecting God because they’ve had a bad relationship with their father. Instead of inventing God, have atheists invented non-God? Have they invented atheism to escape some of the frightening implications of God’s existence? Think about it.”
“God is the very first piece of the Christian Story because the Story is all about Him. He is the central character, not us. The Story is not so much about God’s plan for our lives as it is about our lives for God’s plan.”
“Almost everyone agrees the world is not the way it ought to be. It’s called the problem of evil.”
“Wisdom is an artful method—a skillful, tactical, fair, and diplomatic use of knowledge.”
“Our value is built into us, and nothing and no one can take it away.”
“Nowadays, people have a habit of relativizing religion, reducing it to “your truth” versus “my truth” versus “their truth,” and that’s the end of it.”
“Everyone has a belief system in his or her mind, a story about the way they think the world actually is, even if they haven’t thought about it much or worked out all the details.”
