Lee Strirobel's Quest

162 Words1 Page

I have great admiration for Lee Strobel and his quest for answers. Everyone has at least one moment, or for some of us decades, where we question the absoluteness of the Holy Bible. Mr. Strobel had a sincere desire to find the truth, regardless of where it took him. He dove into the depths of faith, the Bible, Jesus and history to discover the scientific truths behind God 's holy word. Yes, it takes a great amount of faith to accept something intangible at someones word, but to devote your life to finding out is an honorable quest that resulted in his unending faith. Knowledge brought him to salvation and through that he has helped countless others find their faith. Lee Strobel, along with the other examples given, is an inspiration

    Many who had a faith, had their relationship with God put through several trials and tribulations. Some relationships prevailed, and some failed, but the questioning was fundamental. As Moshe the Beadle says, “I pray to the God within me that He will give me the strength to ask Him the right questions.” (pg 33) The Holocaust forced many people to ask horrible questions concerning their relationship with God, but the fact that one is asking the questions in the first place, still proves their faith.

  • Lara Buchak's Can It Be Rational To Have Faith

    1347 Words  | 6 Pages

    As previously stated, evidence does interact with faith. When you have evidence that a friend is a person that does morally good things, such as giving to charity, you have faith that friend would never steal from another person. How, then, is the overlooking of hard cold evidence, such as a cheating boyfriend, considered faith and not blind hope? Faith, according to Merriam-Webster, is to believe, defined as “the feeling of being sure that something is true”, and trust, “assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something”. Faith does not seem to be the word you would use when describing putting all of your eggs in one basket for something you already know to be false.

  • Reflective Essay On Night By Elie Wiesel

    653 Words  | 3 Pages

    I can relate to having faith because I often put trust or confidence into someone or something when I’m having a struggle in my life. When I was younger I didn’t really know God. Once I found out about God, I immediately learned having faith in him is one of the most important decisions anyone can ever make. Once I made that decision to maintain my trust in him I noticed that many things started to fall my way. In the novel, Eliezar also questioned his faith several times but always turned back to putting his trust in God because he knew what was right.

    C.S. Lewis once said, “I believe in Christ, like I believe in the sun- not because I can see it, but by it I can see everything else.” I have used this quote as a guide for myself throughout my journey to finding the Lord. Putting my faith into someone “intangible” and having faith in Christ has not been an easy task for me, given I was not raised in an extremely religious household. However, I was about fourteen when I discovered God’s word, felt my heart swell with happiness, and fell in love with Christ. That day changed my life entirely, and completely changed my outlook of the world.
