What is INDEX?


What is INDEX? An index is 'a guide or pointer to facilitate reference' towards a goal. That goal is a Biblical one: "physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come" (1 Timothy 4:8). We want to guide and equip STUDENTS & YOUNG WORKERS (ages 17-30), for the physical life in this world; but more importantly to encourage your spiritual growth in Godliness so you grow up mature and closer to the Lord Jesus Christ.

You ask me how I know He lives...

Great stuff Sunday night, wasn't it? In case you missed it, Carrubbers' very own Eric John Scott was discussing how we can know that God exists, from within the somewhat unlikely context of the generally God-denying philosophical worldview and some of its most prominent champions. Challenging, stretching (both major pluses in my book) and ultimately very encouraging, it was one of those nights where you just wished all your non-Christian friends could have been present. Maybe they would have come, if they'd been asked? Maybe yours would have? Something to think about perhaps.

Anyway, there was lots of food for thought, but as Eric said it was merely the appetizer. Here are the apologetic entrees he recommended:

Why I Still Believe by Joe Boot

Can Man Live Without God, Jesus Among Other Gods, and Deliver Us From Evil by Rawi Zacharias

Unquestionably, this is topical - with Richard Dawkins' latest effort currently topping the Amazon best-seller lists, we surely need to be equipped and ready to stand for truth in our time.
