How to stop doubting your salvation.

Got this great question from a subscriber.
Hi Lucas, I recently haven't gotten the feeling of the presence of God. I was talking to someone the other day about salvation... now I'm confused again. I started doubting a little bit because I thought that the lack of His presence meant either I wasn't saved or He isn't there. People say that they have God help them with decisions which I feel has never happened to me. Or when they pray they feel something (which I used to feel but it went away). It feels like I'm doing something wrong, or He isn't there.LUCAS' ANSWER: EMOTION IS DANGEROUS. Here's why: I cried at the end of the Matrix Trilogy and had an existential experience at the finale of the first Twilight film. I shed a full ten tears during the Anakin Skywalker Vs. Obi Wan Kenobi dual. Sometimes I'm even emotionally moved in church but it happens less often than it does in movies. So I don't put much stock in my emotions when they do show up. …

Does a Christian Turned Atheist Lose Eternal Life?

My daughter woke up crying at 6:30AM. After my wife got her back to sleep I laid in bed for another few minutes but I couldn't sleep. I had something running through my head. It was this question, "can a Christian become an atheist and still be saved." I felt like this would be a really good topic to write about today. So I came out to my writing office and checked to see what questions had been submitted over night.

This question came in anonymously this morning.
"If I once believed wholeheartedly, full commentment, baptized, truely believed and now don't. Am I still saved?" How serendipitous... Ok. So. The answer is YES, and I'm going to tell you why. First, we need to understand what happens when someone believes in Jesus. As a quick primer before you read on, here's a video we produced on the subject. You can watch it before you read this article, or skip it.

Now let's jump in. What happens the moment you first believe? At the moment you be…

7 Rules For Debating An Atheist: For Christians Only.

Rule # 1: Shut up!
That's right. Stick your balled-up fist in your face hole if you have to, but most importantly stop talking. And yes, I'm saying you should START by STOPPING the incessant blather. In most cases, everything you will say to them has already been said to them multiple times. We're not dealing with a "lack of information" problem 99% of the time. The church and Christians, in general, are magnificent at broadcasting our ideas. So, yeah. Most of the time they already know what you're selling.

Rule #2: Ask questions, and listen relentlessly.
One of the reasons you haven't been successful in a debate is because you can't resist tossing disagreement grenades into their bunker every time they say something you think is wrong. You won't be struck by divine lightning if you stay quiet about a particular topic. Just because you disagree with something they've said doesn't mean you can go and break rule # 1.
