World Views and Interaction Event Reflection

Reflection and Review on Interaction on Worldview
First of all, I would like to express my heartly gratitude towards CBS for organizing such an essential program on Worldview discussion and interaction with non-Christian friends held on 16th February at Tyrannus hall, Balkumari. With an invitation to Rev. Dr. Balkrishna Sharma for discussion on worldviews and interaction with non-Christian students, the program was successfully conducted achieving its goal. I would like to appreciate and admire the CBS team to keep on moving to spread the kingdom of God and sharing gospel via different approaches to non-Christian students.   
Although I was also assigned some specific task on that very day, I was unable to attend the event due to my exam time. Therefore, I do apologize for my absence on that day. At the same time, thank you all who had attended the event and especially to Rev. Dr. Balkrishna Sharma for giving his precious time for the students who are willing to learn.
After watching all the uploaded videos on the YouTube, I really admired the program. The systematic method of Rev. Dr. Balkrishna Sharma on an explanation of worldview and answering queries of non-believers was appreciable and excellent. I was really fascinated to learn new things about civilization and worldviews. Currently, my area of serving God is also through discussion on worldviews and apologetics. I had a keen interest in this area for a few years and still learning. From my own perspective, I, therefore, found those videos very useful for both believers and non-believers.
Additionally, the questions raised by non-Christian friends fascinated me as those questions are still common in our society. I do hope that the answers given by Balkrishna uncle have helped a lot and his way of answering was very good which we should also learn. The issues on religions, worldviews, science, and philosophy are important to know, understand, study and learn. Being a Bible believer, we should defend our faith against all criticism and objections. It is our primary duty and responsibility to share the gospel with people. For this, we need to have knowledge in different areas as well just as Paul in his time.
I would like to bring some of my suggestion to Christian students:
1.     Sharing gospel is not as easy as we generally think. We need to cope with environment influenced by science, philosophies, and religions. Hence, we should be updated with all these areas focusing their teachings and impact on people. Gospel is one but the way of sharing differs on the basis of the environment in which we are living. Therefore, we should have a keen interest in learning worldviews as well.
2.     It is not only worship for which God has called us in his kingdom but also to defend the truth which we call apologetics. It is a high time I have realized that current youth Christian as well as students should have a keen interest in this. Sometimes, people are having a struggle with criticism against the Bible and our faith in Christ. We are compelled to face different questions and objections. Some people lose their faith and get backslide as well. Hence, we must show to the people that our faith is not a blind faith but an evidence-based faith. We believe the Bible and the Bible is historically, archaeologically, and scientifically evidential book. We can believe in the Bible with no doubt on it.   
Finally, I expect such programs to be conducted in future by CBS even on apologetics and worldviews. This makes us more aware that the faith that we have today is based on volumes of evidence, the scripture which we meditate on is fully divinely inspired and the God whom we believe and have a relationship with, He is the highest.
We are not ashamed of the gospel and are always ready to share it to the world.
Thank you.
Kevin Shrestha.
