I am drawn to Dr. Lennox’s final comments. As someone recently facing some health concerns and coming back to God, I thought I’d wait until some healing took place to give a testimony of how Jesus impacted my life. Listening to the final few minutes of this lecture, I realize that I need to now be thankful and offer my testimony of trust, faith and thanks in Jesus for where I’m at today, and the mercy He has shown me even to bring me to this point. Thanks be to God in the highest.

Was that Dr Lennox at his best? Could there possibly be better? Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
-
It's my first time listening to him and I simply want to give glory to God for opening his eyes to the Truth.
-
I've endured terribly traumatic events and situations ...His Grace has been there . Since receiving Christ , His grace has been there every single time .
-
We are witnessing one of the greatest speakers of our time... BRAVO 👏
-
I have been watching Mr. Lennox on Youtube for the last month or so, daily, and still cant get enough! I really enjoy listening to him speak!
-
Dr. Lennox, a true man of God who has the intellect, love, and good character to bring us closer to God
-
He speaks in prose. He unfolds an essay in real time off the top of his mind. It’s like watching Charlie Parker, or Art Tatum, or Bill Evans. It’s just an explosion of tightly organised creativity, originality and truth.
-
Amazing that this man's faith, philosophy & demeanor are not in the least bit affected by the contempt of skeptics.
-
I really wish I can meet up with him in person. 😢😢😢😢😢😢 He's really a fatherly figure who teaches me to be much more closer to God.

God bless you dear Professor Dr. Lennox. May you enjoy health & strength in pursuing your quest in propagating God‘s word. Christ is risen,- HE is risen indeed. Medizinalrat Mag.phil. Dr. Med Issam Elias / Austria ❤️By the way, my son Johannes once heard one of your lectures live in one of your visits to Austria & was simply stunned by the power of your speech. 🇦🇹

I've seen many of John's lectures on YouTube, and this one at Rice is one of the best. I feel very grateful for his testimony and way of clarifying and simplifying the Gospel. I've been a Christian for some time, but he helps me understand my walk better. I wish I had his eloquence and patience. When I hear the arrogance and hatefulness of some atheists, it's hard not to get angry. He never does but does a great job of answering their points with good humor and grace.

John lennox is a breath of fresh air. His talks are very well presented.
-
It is refreshing to listen to Mr. Lennox, thank you, you gave me confidence to face my friends who do not believe in God.
-
What a nice man. Friendly, but passionate and intelligent. A good teacher.

I was born in another culture... Taiwan. It is predominantly Buddhist, along with a host of others like ancestor worship. My grandmother was a Buddhist for most of her life. When my dad was born, the doctor said he is going to die soon. My grandma went to the temples to pray, and sought after many religions. She tried everything except for Christianity. Nothing worked. My dad's body was left for dead on banana leaf. Finally she decided she must also give Jesus a try.

WOW, powerfully articulated; yet, so sweet and simple. YES 👍♥️

"There can't be love without suffering." Never considered that.
