| 0:00.0 | Christians need to understand that sense perception, the testimony of history, the testimony of archaeology, |
| 0:07.5 | and the function of reason itself are tools that God has given his people to stabilize and solidify that faith and |
| 0:18.0 | trust that we have in him. Our faith in God is a reasonable faith. It is not an irrational leap in the dark. Christians are to be a thinking people, not afraid of science, history or reason, always seeking, |
