  2. G.K. Chesterton • G.K. Chesterton said… "An open mind is really a mark of foolishness, like an open mouth. Mouths and minds were made to shut; they were made to open only in order to shut." (Illustrated London News. October 10, 1908)

  3. G.K. Chesterton • "The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid. Otherwise, it could end up like a city sewer, rejecting nothing " (Autobiography. Collected Works Vol. 16, p. 212)

  4. John 3:16-17 16“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

  8.

  9. The Bodily Resurrection of Christ • I Corinthians 15:3-63For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. 6After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.

  10. The Bodily Resurrection of Christ • Luke 24:38-39 38And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39“Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.”

  11. The Fallen Nature of Man • Romans 3:23 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, • Romans 6:23 23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
