I am a Christian resident of New York City. I simply read things the other Manhattanites read (NY Times, New Yorker magazine, Wall Street Journal, and many of the books they read) plus all my Christian reading. I don't do anything special to understand skeptics. I also talk to a lot of skeptics and read things they point to.

Cities have more “image of God” per square inch than anywhere else, and so we must not idealize the country as somehow a more spiritual place than the city.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer can be simple, but it's not easy. Nothing great is.
Timothy Keller
Image
We were designed to know, serve, and love God supremely - and when we are faithful to that design, we flourish.

If God exists then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling can matter forever.

The ministry of mercy, then, is the best advertising a church can have. It convinces a community that this church provides people with actions for their problems, not only talk. It shows the community that this church is compassionate.
