"I read my Bible and feel nothing."
Keep reading, and pray the psalmist's prayer: "Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law." (Psalm 119:18)
Dry days teach us that sight is His gift.
What passage has God opened to you lately?

Amen. Paul met the sneer in Athens: "Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked. But others said, 'We will hear you again about this.'" (Acts 17:32)
Mockery is rarely the whole room. Answer with grace, and watch for the ones still listening.
“It is generally the man who is not ready to argue, who is ready to sneer.” –G. K. Chesterton
Ridicule is not a refutation. When someone calls Christianity a fairy tale or Christians gullible, a laugh may win the room, but it doesn’t answer the evidence for God’s existence, the reliability of the Scriptures, or the empty tomb.
So don’t be rattled by mockery, and don’t return it. Instead, gently ask, “What leads you to believe Christianity isn’t true?” Then listen carefully and offer a thoughtful response. A gracious answer can open doors that sarcasm only slams shut.
“Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.” –Colossians 4:6

Objection of the Day #2: Jesus never claimed to be God. His followers made that up later.
You hear this often: Jesus was a good teacher, and the church turned Him into God decades afterward. It is a fair question. So what did Jesus actually say about Himself?

And this was not a late idea. Paul's letters, written within about 20 to 30 years of the cross, already pray to Jesus and worship Him as Lord. The claim was there from the start, because it came from Jesus Himself.

Well said. Paul staked everything on one event, then told us it happened: "But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep" (1 Corinthians 15:20). Firstfruits means the harvest is coming. His empty tomb is the pledge of ours.
One event. Everything rides on it.
1 Corinthians 15:14 says if the resurrection did not happen, the faith is empty.
That is not blind faith. That is a falsifiable claim. I respect that.
Would you stake everything on one event?

Objection of the Day #1: Isn't faith just a leap in the dark?
Many people picture faith as believing something with no reason at all, and the less proof the better. It's a real question. Is that what the Bible means by faith?

So faith is not a leap in the dark. It is trusting the God who has acted in history and kept His word. Evidence can't save anyone. Only Christ saves. But God never asks us to believe against the evidence. He gives us reasons to trust Him.

"If God made everything, who made God?"
Everything that begins needs a cause. God never began. "From everlasting to everlasting you are God" (Psalm 90:2).
He is not one more thing needing an explanation. He is the explanation.
Why do you think anything exists at all?

"Didn't Paul invent Christianity?"
Paul passed on what he was given: "I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins" (1 Cor 15:3). Many scholars date that creed to within a few years of the cross.
Who first handed it to you?

"Wasn't the Bible just written by men?"
By men, yes. Not by men alone. "Men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:21).
Many pens, one Author.
Do you read it as His word to you?

"Isn't it vain for God to demand our worship?"
In a man, yes. But God is the greatest treasure, so His call to worship is a call to joy. "In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore" (Psalm 16:11).
What are you treasuring today?

"Isn't the church full of hypocrites?"
Full of sinners, yes. The church is not a club for the good but a hospital for the forgiven. "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:8).
Is there room for one more?
