"This page will soften people's hearts toward serving the Lord."
. . . Another thing that lead me to your web page is witchcraft. Something had
been drawing me to it. I could not quit looking into it. I was thinking that
even witches worshipped the same god as everyone else.
Yesterday I went to a tarot
reader looking for guidance. The woman read the cards and told me God wanted
me to stop! I took this as a sign from God and went home and gathered all my
books and things of witchcraft and went up in the woods.
I put on my wife's cross necklace and built a fire and burned everything I had
on witches. The whole time I was holding the cross and asking for forgiveness.
When it was over, something led me to your web page. I have read these pages
and found them wonderful. I have read the prayers, and asked the lord to come
into my heart.
Thank you very much for this page. I have been searching for the answers, and I think I have found them. I was raised a strictly Chassidic Jew, and after the Rebbe died, I have been left with quite an empty feeling. I thought G-d was not real, and that He had abandoned me. Now that I read about Jesus, and what He can do for me, I have decided to commit myself fully and totally to learning about Him. I will devote my life to that. Thank you so much. I would rather take the chance of either going to Heaven, and living with the L-rd, whom I have been serving since birth, or not going anywhere at all. I am not going to feel the eternal flames, Jesus will shield me from them. Thank you so much for this page.
Sharing the gospel or preaching the word is best done over the net. There are no restrictions, no approvals needed, no repercussions from the government etc. There so many reasons. God needs you to be his witness on the net! . . . When you write the word of God and about him and his ways, you write with such authority and clarity etc. There is such a distinct and almost tangible anointing. Keep the wonderful work you are doing.
After reading your thoughts I must admit that you make a very compelling argument. I've discussed this matter with a number of friends (Christian and non-christian) and after reading your explanation it makes more sense to me.
Hmm. I'm was not sure I wanted to do this . . . I've endeavoured to keep any external links off my page. That was an integral part of my design philosophy.
However, this seems pretty trivial when compared to eternal life, and I like the answers to difficult questions you've provided . . .
'I have no formal religious background.' writes a 15 year old, 'The closest I have come to actual religious talks are with my Jahovah Witness friend and my Mormon friend, both of which ride my school bus.'
'This is my first genuine prayer [for salvation]. Please give me further support.
'Your writings are excellent. Quite informative. I learned more than I had thought there was to learn.'
Thank you for your eloquent defenses of difficult questions. Many of the issues you address are ones that I get confronted with frequently in my attempts to share the Gospel (and my web page provides plenty of opportunities).
When answering misconceptions such as "God is too loving to send me to hell." I really felt like I was stumbling along. Being a mother of three, I haven't had time to sit down and prepare a logical, eloquent response to that and other frequently made assertions that you directly address. I shall be using your site frequently.
You are obviously a mindless idiot with no real education.
The next day, from another yet-to-be-born-again visitor to
my site:
You seem to be a very intelligent person.
Thankyou for your most inspiring writings. There are some pretty excited people here in Perth Ontario Canada regarding your stats on the question "Christianity is on the decline".
It is a thrill to find your site. Over the past two weeks I have found myself in several intense arguments with friends over their humanistic approach to life as opposed to my Christian base.
I have found that having the ability to speak with confidence backed by my studies of works such as yours has put me in a position over and over of speaking out for the Lord. I am by no means as well versed as you but with the help of the Spirit I seem to be able to hold my ground. Thanks and keep up the good work. There are an amazing number of people who want to have someone of faith to get straight answers from.
I was completely blown away by what you've been doing. I am a sophomore psychology major at Harvard University, and I've been a Christian all my life. Yet you have covered topics that I've never really had answers to, and have tended to ignore, since the answers would have no effect on my faith. This year, though, I've been convicted that I need to know how to explain my faith to those who are not as easily convinced.
Thanks so much for expanding God's kingdom through this ministry.
From someone awestruck by my site after only glancing at the contents that he just had to write
I don't know how old you are, so you'll have to let me know. I am almost in the same shoes you are; I am an atheist, however. I do not fully know your entire religious beliefs, but I know that we share a common interest in criticising the Christian faith. You have a truly excellent page. Have you really been published as much as you say you have? You have many many interesting ideas, I will try to start a bookmark page on my page and put your bookmark on it. If you are interested, my page is ___, but I don't have nearly as much as you do on religion yet.
The Holy Spirit is using Issues That Make Christians Squirm to get me ready for internet apologetics for college students.
I will be interceding for your anointed ministry, referring the unsaved here at the colleges to your site, and searching for more links for you here in the United States.
Wow... Well done. It's about time we started to see good apologetics on the web. A truly inspired way of catching people's attention.
I don't know if you measure the volume of traffic on your page but I'm sure it's through the roof.
I just wanted to tell you that you have written an awesome page and it has helped to clear up a lot of my own doubts and made me more sure of what to tell people about what I believe. Praise God! He is using you in awesome ways.
That God should use others might not surprise, but that he use
Grantley Morris is astounding!
