For more information about the nature of Biblical faith and a strategy for communicating the truth of Christianity, please read Forensic Faith: A Homicide Detective Makes the Case for a More Reasonable, Evidential Christian Faith. This book teaches readers four reasonable, evidential characteristics of Christianity and provides a strategy for sharing Christianity with others. The book is accompanied by an eight-session Forensic Faith DVD Set (and Participant’s Guide) to help individuals or small groups examine the evidence and make the case.

2 major doctrinal/theological movements have created apathy in the church. Before 1978 Hal Lindsey book the Late Great Planet Earth sold millions of copies. Why get involved in the church or in life if Jesus is coming back. This Last Days insanity is killing the church. ‘Why polish brass in a sinking ship’ J Vernon McGee. ‘We lose here, get that? we lose here!’ John MacArthur. Why bother here! Our SS teacher said a few years ago, ‘yeah we should pray for Trump but it’s not going to matter much.’ Why? The End is near so why even hope! It’s all going to get worse and worse. Dispensationalism has/is/will continue to kill the future hope of the Church. Also, Calvinism, i.e., Theistic Determinism and Election. God has determined everything from before the foundation of the world and elected those who are going to Heaven or Hell. So, again, why bother. My good friend said we’re here just to make the best of it. Sounds like he’s excited about the future 🙁
