Yes. I think we do need people like St. Paul who could appeal to the intellectuals at his time. They wouldn’t take a message of a carpenter brought by a fisher or tax collector seriously.

Great point and analogy. These people probably think they are too smart for Christianity but they know something is missing in their life.

I think the advent of you know who and the economic destruction in NY has been an eye opener for these people.

I was listening to a very good financial adviser in TX. He is almost more like a minsiter. He was talking about how great societies or civilizations are brought down by debt and by rampant secularism/hedonism. Sadly this is where we are at.

I hope there are more Tim Keller’s in more blue states.
