This is good Truth Network. If God is such a loving God, what about evil, what about crisis cancer war leg covert Corona is the earth true is years old and did we evolve from monkeys or is God truly the creator. These are just a few questions, issues that you're going to face if you live in the world that we all live in one of the answers will enter Dr. Shaw Dr. Avedon Charmin this church with him in Henderson North Carolina and he so passionate about reaching young and old, with the truth of God's word and apologetics which you can tell us what that means.

Doc your the second that he is hosting a huge conference. Dr. Shaw, first of all, who is Dr. Avedon Shaw. Thank you so much. I am the pastor of Libby church in Henderson roadkill on it. We been here for 24 years.

My wife and I have four kids were really blessed and what God is doing right here that clearly church in Henderson awesome and you have a unique testimony. But, got you into this whole thing.

God saw fit in his grace to bring a young man in India to Christ, and he was subsequently kicked out of his house. Tell us about your dad and how he came to the Lord how you came the Lord and now hear your my dad grew up in a Muslim home in affluent home in India. In India and didn't want anything to do with Christianity was very satisfied. Everything is taken care of and he saw his grandfather praying.

One day, you know the five times a day and he was a high G he had been to Mecca. He had done all the five pillars very pious man and when his grandfather finished praying. My dad just said to him, the datagram grandpa, you're such a holy man, God will surely give you heaven one day and when he said that my dad said tears came rolling down his face. His grandfather's face and he looked at my dad and said son. There is no guarantee I'll be in heaven and when he heard that as a little boy it planted that seed of doubt in his heart that something is not right with what he's believing.

How could this be and that began his journey and in his teenage years he came to know Christ and of course yes as you mention his family kicked them out and he followed the Lord, and he followed the Lord and he met your mom and married her. And I guess anyhow that have just real quick on your company so fascinated.

How did you get here spiritually and physically talk about your parents that you how they met while very interesting, because my dad went to seminary and a missionary helped him by the name of Dr. Fred slander about men who translated the Bible into a variety so finish seminary and when he finished the said to be can let you go because we feel I get you graduated grade you know English very well. You aced all your class will be just on trustee. Why would a Muslim man with so many degrees and can speak so well why is he in seminary to keep you one more year, so they kept him for one more year end and it he wasn't happy about that but he did and when he finished Carey Baptist Church in Calcutta called him to come be their pastor. This was a big church. This was well known and he was like you know what God is finally rewarding me for all the good that I've done the other set the Muslim mindset is still there, and as he is walking back to his room he sees on the notice board, small church. 30 members. If no one comes will close down and and he was back to his room is like no that's not for me and the whole night he couldn't sleep and God said you not going to carry you're going to that small church. He got up that morning snatch that note off the notice board went to his Dean and said, tell those people I'm coming because God will let me rest and so he comes to this church handle solid dirt floor. It's nothing like Carrie because he is already done. Supply preaching with damages does not meet the expectations. But the man who wrote to the seminary asking for a preacher, the one who put that the notice on the board that was going to be his father-in-law one day. So as it's an amazing story, no baggage, so I would be here if my dad had said no I want a church while and is interesting we wouldn't be here in Henderson, North Carolina which is not this skyscraper, massive city, even though it's exploding growth, because it's really a bedroom community to Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, the RTP but 23 years ago, a young man who who was the product of that marriage. You're a PhD student at southeastern you got the world by the tail spiritually in your thinking okay Chicago here we come Toronto, LA, New York and you get a call from Henderson and pig as to how that ended up selling let yeah exactly my lady at my wife worked with. They needed a youth pastor in Henderson and so they asked me is it absolutely outcome help you out and we came here and a year later the pastor moved on and the judge asked us to consider coming here and so it's been quite a journey and I will tell you this, amazed. I'm so glad that God has brought us here.

I'm so glad. But Israel whole thing is a testament God's powerful word and you just said you called your dad in you know you said that one might think, and what should I do and what he tell you is that now you stay there and preach like you preaching to 5000 people is that there's only 30 people barely on a good Sunday said it doesn't matter preach like you preaching to 5000, and let God do the rest love with Dr. Stephen Davey once said, he said preach to the seat that's full quit preaching to the empty seats, God will take care of that and you have drilled deeper into the feeding your people. Now your your bulging with growth your gut at a facility and you have a event coming up at your church talk a little bit about that apologetic/apologetic support and what are y'all doing about it. Apologetics has been with the church for a long long time is not of course not about apologizing is about defending the faith is what Peter talks about give a reason for the hope that is in you with meekness and fear, and more and more I believe apologetics is not as much for the lost person as is well. Even the saved because we have people in the pews who yeah I just believe we know whatever is being said. They don't know why they believe and to me. The tragedy is kids who grew up in church and they go off and there sitting in a university class or college and and have someone purposely dismantled her faith or markdown and they come back and go out on what I believe anymore the burden is on us. We have to give them the tools we have to give the reasons and soak began this conference set in 2019. And of course past two years we can do anything.

So this year we came back and and the theme of this conference is the original text of the New Testament muscle which is right line with the book you've written you got some heavy hitter guys from all over coming to speak who are something I speak and what's the date of this event.

Alright so this is on September 24 Saturday from 9 to 4 and we have some the best people coming Peter Gertie is coming from Phoenix seminary.

He is a Cambridge PhD. We have Dr. Maurice Robinson coming the Byzantine priority text Robinson Pierpont text he is coming out David Alan Black is coming from southeastern. Of course, and so were the here the history of the study of the original text the importance and the looking at from various perspective and beat me look at the Bible, the NIV, NASB, KJV, whatever it is, what is the text behind it and can we go back to the original text because again people like Bart Ehrman and others have said there's more variance than even worse in the text, and so by giving jarring remarks like that.

It almost seems like I think we we have the text that has been put together through the centuries is not the original words ends. That is so far from the truth while so this is open to anybody, but I know the seating is limited so what you know what's the best way for folks to enroll. It's an all-day thing. I think included in the in the price of admittance is you obviously correctly and for notes and things and then salon. She got subject label food, in which year that some folks might just cover that with her to find out the spiritual bills even better than that would tell a little bit the nuts and bolts absolutely so you can go to our website, Clearview, BC.org and follow the link on the homepage or you can go to the event on the Facebook page on Clearview charge Henderson and then it's only the early bird pricing is $30 and 40 with the meal and so we would love to have you come back for ministers for pastors and staff is free online a while so they can really view fashion, really, really beef up on the word and on equipping his own young people in the world defending God's word and and really evangelizing this next-generation absolute so we want ministers to come in one pastors to come staff members to come and take back resources that would help them do what they need to do in that context is pretty awesome. So you're put on a high level thing in people can come from all over to this thing. It's in Henderson North Carolina which is right outside of the Raleigh-Durham area and you can hear this man of God Dr. Shaw on the radio. I believe every Sunday morning right at 8:30 AM on a.m. 10 3105.5 FM 105.7 FM 106.5 FM. All of the triangle and then Lord will and soon were to find ways to put you on more places. As your message is so important what your challenge the weather listing about not just knowing what they believe, but knowing why they believe it. I believe it's so important for our next generation is not enough for us to say. All I know what I believe and I know where I'm going is imperative that we pass on that faith to our next generation because the battle is terrible what's coming their way. So it's important that we as a church take that as a mandate to teach the truth but also give them the reason for the hope that is within them a love that will thank you for sticking out there and a lot of folks are planning procrastinating and noodling on what to do about it. Your bring in some heavy hitters in here to your church in your opening your doors and of course people need to sign up kinda quick, especially your bring in a group for this apologetics event on the boat. What are you having I can think of more critical battlegrounds in the text of Scripture how to know the word of God.

How to know we can rely on the word of God is just a bunch of guys opinions is full of contradictions and Dr. Avedon Shaw.
