Summary

It’s Witness Wednesday! Join Todd Friel on campus at Georgia State University as he engages four different students on topics like truth, meaning, and the afterlife. Focusing on self-examination and the call of the gospel, these students are pointed towards the true transformation that Christ brings us. Segment 1 • Eduardo believes in God, but admits he’s drifted from church and isn’t sure about heaven or hell. • He thinks he’s “a good person”—until he’s gently walked through the Ten Commandments. • He hears the full gospel, including God's justice and Jesus paying the penalty. Segment 2 • Joey believes in evolution despite recognizing complex design in software, his field of study. • His conscience gets confronted through a rapid-fire morality check. • He hears the gospel clearly: Jesus died for sinners like him. Segment 3 • Our next student is Catholic in name only, and admits he’s not really committed to his faith. • Listens attentively as the purpose of creation and the gospel are explained as a demonstration of God’s mercy and grace. • Concedes he’s broken several of the Ten Commandments and agrees he’s not a good person—then hears how Jesus saves sinners. Segment 4 • Final student of the day grew up in church but walked away. • He isn’t hostile towards the Christian faith, but simply apathetic about it. • Left with a challenge to reconsider the true gospel. ___ Thanks for listening!

1:08.8	is more than a theory it is a fundamental scientific principle you know there's a scientific term for that. It's called baloney. We are so stupid that we think that just because telephones and computers and cars are intelligently designed, that means we are too. Well, we're not. I don't trust that, Richard Dawkins. In the beginning, God created heaven, the earth, is the only logical explanation unless you don't want to believe in science and logic.
