Giving a Testimony

Many Christians want to share their testimonies and experiences with the risen Lord Jesus Christ, especially during prayer meetings. And we don’t have a problem with that because sharing a testimony is biblical.

The Hindus, the Judaists, even the Catholics, the Seventh Day Adventists, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Mormons—all of them have their own version of worldview noise. Rejecters of Christ as the only Giver of eternal life always have good reasons for their unbelief. How to stop this noise for the gospel to be heard clearly?

Yes, atheism crumbles, as it is not part of human design. It is like putting a non-genuine part in your car’s engine. A long time ago, God said that an atheist is a fool or someone engaged in self-deception. In Psalm 14:1, David said that the “fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” The atheist’s belief starts with his “conversation with his heart” without the open-mindedness to consider the mysteries of the world around him.
