Bible Study and Religion

by Tim Cimbura

I'm a Christian and I believe the Bible is the true Word of God. Maybe you don't agree. Maybe you've been turned off by the way some Christians act. Maybe you can't understand how a loving God would allow us to suffer. Maybe you're convinced scientists have proved evolution. These are all valid concerns.

I share ideas here with the hope that they might be an encouragement and hope for you. Life is hard enough that we sure don't need any more burdens. Personal experience has shown me that God is there even through difficulties.

I am not a Christian out of blind faith. In my studies of electrical engineering at the University of Minnesota, I did a lot of work in science and math. I love to analyze and prove things. I think there are good answers to how the Bible works with science. I build my faith on the Bible, history, and science.

Being a Christian is not following a set of outdated rules. It is a living experience. Christians have troubles just like anyone else, but following Christ can bring you great joy and the best life possible now.

I am not a Christian out of fear. I believe Christ is the only way we may gain eternal life and that everyone has a full opportunity to accept this gift. I don't think that you need to be better than you are today to be loved by God. He loves us just how we are. I truly hope you choose to follow Christ as leader in your life. I'd love to have eternity to get to know each of you.

There are many artificial walls that have been constructed by men...and among Christians. Remember not to concentrate on the details. Get the big picture on life. Make a positive contribution where you can.

I pray God blesses and strengthens you. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
