Summary

Chip explains why it’s intellectually honest to believe that the God of the Bible is actually the one, true God. As narrow as that may sound, there’s compelling evidence that it’s true and that you can not only confidently believe in God, but explain to others why they don’t have to throw their brains in the trash to believe it too.

Main Points

Presupposition #1: Aren’t all religions essentially the same?• Answer: No, not all religions lead to the living God.
Presupposition #2: Does it really matter what a person believes as long as he or she is sincere and practices those beliefs?• Matthew 7:13-147
