I have a brother who's a theoretical physicist and does not believe in God, and he is often trying to bring me
down with dumb questions and half-cooked theories. You know, ignorance. I've learned that the key here is to always have a bible under your arm, that's your best weapon, and try and have the Holy Spirit influence on your thoughts. Remember that the religious leaders were always asking Jesus many question, most of them to see
if he'd fall or contradict himself, but he was WISE, and always gave the correct answer. We should pray for Jesus to give us the correct answers, and if you can't it's better to stay silent!!!

I am writing a book for your brother. Or it could be a book for someone like you. It centers some on Lazarus walking out of the tomb. He realizes for the first time that he is no longer of this world. People tend to believe what is in front of their eyes and what their senses tell them. This was true for Lazarus, you, me, and your brother. But the Gospel is an alien declaration to this world. Scientists are looking for life in some strange places. There used to be this hoodwink that if something is true, it had to be proven first. Those days are gone. We are searching for worm holes and new dimensions with no proof at all. Read "Fabric of the Cosmos" and find some points to share. It is for people like you and your brother that inspires me to finish my book.

All the best,
VG

The church is beautiful in all ways. Those men who do those things are simply not a part of it.

I´m more like friend and hopefully God shines in me as a testimony.

You must witness. Don't give up. I was the same way but now am more bold. Witnessing is not and shouldn't be a burden. Men must know about Jesus Christ.
