"The number one accusation of why Christianity is false is that it claims to be true. Right now the number one reason why Christianity is false in the eyes of the world is that it claims to be the truth and it says all others are false. And that’s false in the new generation" ~ Josh McDowell

"We do need to meet felt needs, but the greater challenge now is to make true needs felt." ~ Josh McDowell

"The greatest challenge today is not to meet felt needs, but to make true needs felt. The need for forgiveness, repentance, and salvation. That is the greatest challenge today. The whole thing today is to get away from doctrine. I hear so many pastors say, 'You know, I don’t really preach about doctrine. It’s divisive.' It is! You talk about truth today, and it is divisive. So then they say they’ve gone to a lot of praise and worship. Now, I like praise and worship but when I hear a pastor say something like that I say, 'Look, if you don’t talk about doctrine, how do you know who you’re praising and worshipping?' You don’t. We’ve got to teach truth or we’ll be praising and worshipping the figment of our imagination." ~ Josh McDowell

"Ten years ago I’d sit down with someone, a young person like this or someone else, and like the fellow over here might say, "I just can’t believe in Jesus Christ. I just can’t believe it." So, I’d start sharing the evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He’d come up with an argument and I’d shoot it down, come up with another one and I’d shoot it down. An hour and a half later I’d say, 'Would you like to trust Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior?' 'Yes!' You hardly ever hear that anymore. If you sit down with a young person and start going over with them the evidence that shows who Christ is, they’ll go, 'Hmm…' 'Do you want to accept Christ?' 'No.'"

"One of the symptoms of the new culture is that there’s almost zero correlation between belief and behavior." ~ Josh McDowell

"In even the most spiritual kids, they see very little correlation between belief and behavior. They hear a talk on sex, and the most spiritual kids in the church will come to the alter and repent and cry and weep, and everyone will say God is at work. Then this is the biggest heartbreak I know of youth pastors today. That same kid will get up, walk out the door and thirty minutes later be in bed with his girlfriend. Some of the most spiritual kids in the church don’t even tie belief and behavior together. There is zero correlation between belief and behavior." ~ Josh McDowell

"Why is lying wrong? Why does the Bible say, "Thou shall not lie?" Because the very person and nature of God is truth; it is not because of my parents, my pastor my president or anyone else. It is because the very person, character and nature of God is truth. Killing is wrong because God is life. Hatred is wrong because God is love. Injustice is wrong because God is just. We have an entire generation that has lost the ability to determine right from wrong because they’ve lost the truth of the very person and nature of God." ~ Josh McDowell
