Harvest

Equipping believers with answers to the tough biblical, ethical, and philosophical questions of our time.

"False ideas are the greatest obstacles to the reception of the Gospel. We may preach with all the fervor of a reformer and yet succeed to win only a straggler here and there, if we permit the whole collective thought of the nation or of the world to be controlled by ideas which, by resistless force of logic, prevent Christianity from being regarded as anything more than a harmless delusion. Under such circumstances, what God desires us to do is to destroy the obstacle at its root."

J. Gresham Machen,

1 Peter 3:15 command the church to "always be prepared to give a defense for the hope that is within you". The popularity of the New Atheists, the continued push of Darwinism in schools and the growing antagonism toward Biblical beliefs means we need to heed that command more now than ever. As society grows increasingly secular, Christians today face more challenges than ever in not only living out their faith, but in effectively sharing it with others.

Come Let Us Reason Together is the Harvest apologetics ministry dedicated to equipping Christians to stand strong in their faith and helping them effectively share it with others. With monthly instruction, podcasts, online resources, and trips that offer real-world experience, we tackle the biggest objections to Christianity and teach believers on how to be appealing, intelligent ambassadors for Christ.

Our prayer and objective is to:

1. Strengthen believers' faith by demonstrating Christianity is an intelligent, rational faith
2. Show that there are good answers to the toughest objections offered against it
3. Help train the church to be able to defend their beliefs when challenged
4. Help the church think clearly about issues of God and culture
