The grandfather's voice I never had and wish I had grown up with

[rozarioglenpatrick]

He has a brillant mind and promotes the existence of God in his humble ways n mannerism. He comes across as a gentleman and a loving person😇🙏

[mareykepoliteknikneg.manad]

"Somehow when Christ died on that cross, He was burring all the mess I've made. And He offers me, if I trust Him, that I can know here and now not waiting for judgement. Because it depends on Him and not me"

John, I wish I had a mustard seed amount our your intelligence! God bless you!

[anaghamane]

Wisdom and humility pervade all your talks, Dr Lennox. My husband and I love listening to you

John is great tool of our Lord Jesus Christ. I being Pakistani Christian wish to meet John and ask him if I can work with him to bring the material in Urdu language. I live in UK and willing to invite him at my place or I can go and visit him in UK. May God bless him and use him more and more in the days to come.

Thank you Prof Lennox!
I am supporting my 27 year old son, diagnosed with a horrid diagnosis, with horrendous pain day and night, ‘utterly overwhelming’. I can’t understand where God is in all of this; but, I see evidence of His fingerprints throughout the process, letting me know that in the deepest darkest pain, He is with us: this is an enormous consolation to me, and gives me the emotional resilience to support my son. ❤️

‘Football: it’s a series of prayer meetings interrupted by war’ 😂🤣

‘When you take weapons to defend a religion, you cat the ears off people: They won’t listen to you’

‘Is there any evidence anywhere that there is a God that we can trust with that mixed picture?’. Faced with beauty and barbed wire.
There is evidence. This is where I find that Christianity gives a window

Forgiveness in Greek ‘letting go’.

Faith means trust based on evidence.

Awesome.... to hear a proudly unashamed christian AND Intellectual man speak Christ Glorified !! ❤AMEN ❤

Lennox has the perfect personality for debating such a controversial topic. Even Atheists can't dislike him even if they want to.

[carmanconrad]

I have just discovered John Lennox today. He is a great inspiration and has helped me in my faith, belief and understanding of God. Thank you Mr. Lennox.

[annedeline]

He is the greatest! So humble and truthful! Thank you God for John Lennox ! A true apostle.

[Bless-the-land-the-sea-people]

Amazing. The one who has God has peace in him. That is what I saw in John Lennox. Thank God for you.

[randomkiliinterviews]

He seems like someone coming right out of a Dickens or Irving novel. And in a good way :)

[frankagliotti]

Absolutely brilliant. Love listening to the wisdom and humility of John Lennox. Thank you for being a blessing❤

[militaryandemergencyservic]

God sometimes appears to be silent during crises - but actually these are ways to allow people who otherwise would not draw close to God - to draw close to Him! Oh, the incomprehensible wisdom of God!

[zemzi]

i am a Muslim, but I love listening to him

[ehecken]

You can never enjoy pleasure if you have never experienced hurt. We can't have daylight if we don't have night. The two go hand in hand.

Listening in 2020, how the face of universities and debate is changing. Not all open to debate now!

[rosyrussell]

I always listen to John. To his marvellous words spoken in his wonderful Irish accent.
