Atheism to Christianity

The Case for Christ, by former atheist Lee Strobel.

A Christ-filled Family

Learn how to build a foundation of faith in your home

You Gotta Have Faith
Fear Not and/or Don’t Be Afraid appears over 140 different times in the bible (here are a few examples):
Fear is incompatible with love and faith. It functions as a spirit of bondage. It reveals misplaced trust. Jesus often equated fear with a lack of faith. When we panic, we are relying on our own strength or the unpredictability of the world rather than resting in God’s provision and presence.

2 Timothy 1:7

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love an of a sound mind.”

Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV)

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strngthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

Psalm 56:3-4 (NKJV)

“Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God (I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV)

“Have I not Commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

1 John 4:18 (NKJV)

“There is no fear in love; but  perfect love casts our fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”

The Case for Christ ✝

Why we recommend this book? Often times people approach God from their mind’s perspective and try to rationalize and use logic to determine their beliefs (or lack thereof). Often our beliefs are shaped by perception and untruths. Learn how one atheist set out to prove his wive wrong and ended up one of Gods most dedicated believers. Lee Strobel (lawyer, former legal reporter for a National publication, former atheist, and now born-again Christian), does a beautiful job in making the case for why both the bible and its content is real. He set out to disprove Christ and instead became born-again. We invite you to learn why.

— The Journey from Atheist to Born Again and Why —

” Is there credible proof that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God?”
“My wife became a Christian and I wanted to prove her wrong.”

Lee Strobel: Former Lawyer, Atheist, Legal Editor, and Skeptic — and now Christian Pastor at Woodlands Church

The Case for Christ

In The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel, former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune and New York Times bestselling author, retraces his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith and builds a captivating case for Christ's divinity.
