Why I Am A Christian is a compelling multi-author apologetics anthology assembled by philosopher-theologian Norman L. Geisler and attorney Paul K. Hoffman. Using a courtroom metaphor, the editors invite readers—believers and skeptics alike—to serve as jurors and weigh the evidence for the Christian faith. Sixteen of the twentieth century's most respected Christian scholars—including William Lane Craig, J. P. Moreland, Peter Kreeft, Gary Habermas, Ravi Zacharias, Hugh Ross, and Josh McDowell—each offer a personal and intellectual account of why they believe. The book is organized into six parts that build a cumulative case: the reality of objective truth, the existence of God, the possibility and historicity of miracles, the reliability and uniqueness of the Bible, the identity of Jesus as Messiah and Son of God, and the personal call to follow Christ. Each contributor writes from deep academic credentials but with transparency about their own intellectual journey. The result is a richly layered resource that answers the most common objections to Christianity while also testifying to its life-changing power.

The sermon explores God's transcendence as the foundational basis for Christian apologetics and faith. It argues that because God is wholly other, independent of creation, and the source of all reality, human reasoning must submit to His authority rather than relying on neutral empirical evidence. The preacher contrasts the finite nature of humanity with the infinite nature of God, asserting that truth and morality originate solely from Him. Consequently, defending the faith requires exposing the internal inconsistencies of unbelieving worldviews while pointing to Christ as the ultimate source of wisdom. This approach calls believers to humble worship and bold proclamation of the Gospel grounded in Scripture.

A Harvard astrophysicist once suggested that the best explanation for our moon is observational error — that the moon simply does not exist. Sometimes the theory is in more trouble than the evidence. In the Sunday school hour at Quentin Road Baptist Church, Dr. Jake Hebert of the Institute for Creation Research takes the class on a tour of the solar system and deep space, and makes a claim that sounds backwards until you hear it out: recent creation is the more reasonable position. Age, he argues, is never measured in a laboratory — it is calculated from assumptions about the past, and those assumptions rule out creation before the evidence is ever examined. Then the tour: comets that should have melted away long ago, propped up by an Oort cloud that Carl Sagan admitted has no direct evidence behind it. Magnetic fields still humming on small bodies that should have gone cold eons ago. Saturn's rings, Titan's methane, volcanic Io, a crater-free plain on Pluto. Earth's own magnetic field losing half its energy every 1,400 years. A creation physicist who read 2 Peter 3:5 and predicted the magnetism of Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune while mainstream models missed at nearly every planet. And the hard one everybody asks about — how we can see starlight from billions of light years away in a universe only thousands of years old. The companion to the morning message "Our Young World," and an entirely different subject: this hour is the sky. Scripture referenced: Psalm 19:1; Genesis 1:5, 8; 2 Peter 3:5; Mark 10:6

How old is our world? A creationist collected rock from the Mount St. Helens lava dome when it was ten years old, sent it off to the labs, and the ages came back between 340,000 and 2.8 million years. If the methods can miss by that much, what else are they telling us? Dr. Jake Hebert of the Institute for Creation Research joins Quentin Road Baptist Church with three reasons to trust the Bible's own timeline: the flood evidence written across the earth's rock layers, the science that quietly caps the age of the earth far below billions of years, and the reason none of this is a side issue — if death came before Adam, then death is not the penalty for sin, and the cross has nothing to pay for. Along the way: fossils frozen in the death pose, a supposed ten-million-year gap in the rock with no erosion at all, forests strangely missing from the Ice Age, a Sahara that was once well watered, and creatures that appear to have lived like Methuselah. A mainstream geologist looked at rock said to take five million years to form and concluded it happened in hours.
