In a debate between social critic Dennis Prager and Oxford atheistic professor Jonathan Glover, Prager asked:
\n \u201cIf you, Professor Glover, were stranded at the midnight hour in a desolate Los Angeles street and if, as you stepped out of your car with fear and trembling, you were suddenly to hear the weight of pounding footsteps behind you, and you saw ten burly men who had just stepped out of a dwelling coming toward you, would it or would it not make a difference to you to know that they were coming from a Bible study?\u201d [1]
\nWhile atheists are loath to admit that the world needs what Christianity has to offer, they\u2019d most assuredly prefer to be discovered in the wrong place, at the wrong time, by the \u201cpounding footsteps\u201d of young men who are followers of Christ.<\/p>\n
Knowing Christ makes a difference — to everyone!
\n \u201cHow beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!\u201d (Romans 10:15).<\/p>\n
\u201cFor it is God\u2019s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people\u201d (1 Peter 2:15).
