The Truth is Not Always Useful

But it is always the only thing to build a life on:

“Christianity claims to give an account of the facts—to tell you what the real universe is like. Its account of the universe may be true, or it may not, and once the question is really before you, then your natural inquisitiveness must make you want to know the answer. If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be; if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all.”–C.S. Lewis

True U – Ready for College?

I am thrilled with a new DVD resource available for students. My friend Brett Kunkle of Stand to Reason said:

“I’ve spent over 17 years working with students. One of the toughest challenges is finding good curricula. Most of the stuff out there was either too lame and cheesy or too shallow–nothing you could use with students without reservation. TrueU has finally solved the problem. Their DVD curriculum is deep, equipping students with a sophisticated but accessible defense of the faith. But it’s also pretty cool, produced in a way that won’t have you thinking, “There’s another tacky Christian product.” Seriously, this video curriculum needs to be shown in Christian homes, youth groups, and schools across the nation, if we’re going to adequately train up a new generation of Christ followers.”
And I agree…I have been watching these and they are EXCELLENT and I plan on using them with our students.
My recommendations of preparing students with a solid Christian worldview would be this:
1. Go through True U. (click here)
2. Buy them a copy of Welcome to College: A Christ-Follower’s Guide for the Journey and the Apologetics Study Bible for Students (see below)
