Many Christian commentators have noted a recent shift in Western culture towards a search for established truth and spirituality. While this doesn\u2019t mean more people are necessarily becoming believers, many do seem to be finding certain tenets of Christianity attractive. Below are two recent stories that speak to this shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. According to a Fox News story<\/a>, Bible sales are booming<\/strong>. Why is this? It seems \u00a0younger generations raised in a post-Christian world are \u201chungry for truth<\/strong>, and hungry for purpose and meaning and a sense of direction.\u201d Since the Bible has been \u201cthe main source of meaning, purpose, value\u2026 people are turning back to the Bible<\/strong>…”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Niall Ferguson<\/a> has added his name to a growing list of avowed atheists who\u2019ve rejected their rejection of God<\/strong> and turned to Christianity in some form or another. Many outspoken \u201cNew Atheists\u201d of 15-20 years ago seem to be gaining a new appreciation for what Christianity<\/strong> brings to our broken world and aren\u2019t shy about expressing this evolution in their thinking.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Of course, simply buying a Bible or acknowledging there is a God won\u2019t bring about the kind of personal transformation that our broken world is so desperate for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But, if that Bible\u2019s message was clear and that God was understood in a way that makes sense, the statistics above might transform into something that has real eternal significance. It seems like the time is ripe for these sorts of interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is why GoodSeed exists: to provide seekers with an explanation of God\u2019s Word that makes incredible sense and brings about faith in the God of the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lead a Bible study<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Building a relationship with a person and then leading them through a study of the Bible is tremendously effective. The Worldview Rethink<\/strong><\/a> study framework allows you to tailor your study to the worldview of your learner and equips you with a leader\u2019s guide, workbooks, videos and visual aids to bring the Bible\u2019s story to life and aid in clarity and understanding.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Give away the Gospel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Sometimes circumstances don\u2019t allow for a Bible study. When spur-of-the-moment opportunities come, be prepared to share something. Have a book<\/strong><\/a> on hand to give away, share a link to stream a video<\/strong><\/a> or lend a Radio Theatre<\/strong><\/a> to listen to. We have materials for English-as-a-Second Language<\/strong><\/a> speakers and in 30+ languages<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
