Guilty as Charged: If Being a Christian Were a Crime, Would There Be Enough Evidence to Convict You?
In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson and Larry Montgomery pose a striking thought experiment: if it were against the law to be a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? Framing the discussion like a courtroom trial, the hosts weigh four testimonies that either convict or acquit: the testimony of ourselves, the testimony of others, the testimony of the Scriptures, and the testimony of the Holy Spirit. Along the way they hold up biblical examples both good and bad, from the well-reported Timothy, faithful Dorcas, and commended Demetrius to the self-seeking Diotrephes and the world-loving Demas. Drawing from Acts 26, 1 John 2, Matthew 5, Romans 8, and the full plan of salvation, the episode challenges every listener to live a life so clearly marked by Christ that their faith could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
