doubts should be welcome

So, somebody with lots of money, puts up a lot of bill boards in Florida.  Here is one that I saw recently.


It appears that they are playing off of the court room phrase, "beyond a reasonable doubt."  

I guess that many Christians agree, and maybe they like the billboard.  But who are we trying to win?  Who are we trying to reach?

Surprise, but I don't care for this message.

What if someone has doubts???  Doubters should not be shamed.  Their doubts should not be discounted.  If someone has questions or doubts about the resurrection or anything Christian, we need to respect them.  If we wish to win people and help them become followers of Jesus, then we need to allow them to have their thoughts and welcome them just as they are.

Disrespecting another person's thoughts or questions only pushes them away from the church.

If you have doubts, good for you!  Welcome to the human race!  It is ok.  Normal people have doubts.  God does not require you to check your brain at the door when you choose to follow Jesus.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
