Summary: During a Christian rally a few years ago, a heckler shouted, "Atheism has done more for the world than Christianity!""Very well," the speaker said, "tomorrow night you bring a hundred men whose lives have been changed for the better by atheism, and I'll bring a hundred who have been transformed byChrist." The heckler frowned and said no more.Whether our friends realize it or not, God is relevant to their lives today. Atheism brings only tragedy and despair. Yet, the saving power of Jesus Christ offers hope and healing to people from all nations. To me, it's more clear than ever that God is relevant to the well-being of every one of us! But we should not be surprised when people are reluctant to accept the Gospel. The apostle Paul said: "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." [1 Corinthians 1:18]When you're sharing the Good News, remember that no matter how people respond, Jesus Christ is still relevant to their lives.
