Me:\u00a0 Be careful Prodigal!<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Don’t worry I will.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Your friend\u00a0seems mean that is all.<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 He talks tough, but he couldn’t smash a grape in a fruit fight.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Ok, I believe you, lets talk about how to stand for the faith.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This book is Beyond Opinion by Ravi Zacharias<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When most Christian students hear statements that challenge the credibility of their faith\u00a0 for the first time, they are often caught off guard and left speechless.\u00a0 In fact, it is estimated that up to 51 percent of Christian college freshman will renounce their faith before they graduate from college.\u00a0 They have no clue how to defend the biblical worldview because they were never trained to do so.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I turned my back on Jesus in college.\u00a0 It was never my plan, the world just took me along with it.\u00a0 Don’t let it happen to you.\u00a0 I missed out on a lot when I was away from the Lord and it is only by His grace that he brought me back.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Matthew 7:20<\/p>\n

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.<\/p>\n
