Today I taught Sunday school for the high school students. I chose the question, "Why are you a Christian?" as the topic. I asked this because many of us rarely if ever ask ourselves this question. So, when we are confronted later in life, maybe at school, at work, at some event, etc. we don't always have an answer. I want each of our students, who have chosen to follow Christ, to know why they made the decision and for it to be a good one. I don't want them to call themselves a Christian because they are trying to impress me, their friends, or their parents. I don't want someone to label their self as a Christian only because their parents are. I want them to make the choice because they personally believe in the faith. I spoke about the things I value and what makes Christianity important to me. How I think it not only leads to a better life, but that it brings us close to God, who I believe is a personal God. I also discussed a few apologetics which seem to be the most talked about and the most questioned. I don't think I have all of the answers, but I do think it is a good thing to question and to understand about ourselves.
