Does Christianity have facts to go with its faith? I am embarrassed by the number of things I believe with out having really dug into the facts. I believe my mechanic is telling me the truth when he quotes some new part I’ll need. I believe all kinds of things about history without having looked into source documentation. I often take the news without adding that grain of salt.
If you are a Christian, or someone looking into Christianity, have you stopped to look into the facts behind the faith? Christianity sits on a mountain of corroborating evidence. Even supernatural events like the Resurrection, have a great deal of historical evidence to back them up. Yet most Christians, out of laziness or simply not having been challenged, choose to believe without having put much time in. Many seekers tend to follow feelings more than facts. That may be why some of the seem to believe, then fall away.
Today, challenge yourself to learn. Take a topic of the faith and ask someone at Hope a question about it. Crack open a book (often going to be more helpful than the top google hit) and see if there is more to Christianity than good vibes, and in the case of Hope Church, outstanding music.
As always, if there is ever any way the leaders at Hope can follow up with you about the things we believe, shoot us an email at ben@hopechurchutah.com
