A couple days ago, ABC’s Nightline hosted a debate between Christians and atheists. The debate, titled “Does God exist?”, hosted the well known childhood actor Kirk Cameron, now a Christian evangelist, and his colleague in ministry Ray Comfort, squaring off with two individuals from the “Rational Response Squad”, a group dedicated to promoting the atheistic worldview.

It's getting close to Easter and that means several things. It means that believers, even nominal believers, are enjoying Lent, Churches are putting together their Easter programs, and sincere seekers are carefully considering the credibility of the Gospel message.
