How Can You Communicate Your Faith Clearly?

Communicating our faith in today’s world can be more effective if we learn to combine reason and imagination in our presentations. C.S. Lewis once argued that “Reason is the natural organ of truth, but imagination is the organ of meaning.” When we communicate our faith to non-believers, we need to consider not only the clarity of our logic, but the place of imagery, symbols, metaphors or stories, to bring home our message. Lewis argued that we don’t really understand anything, even a word, unless we have a picture with which we can associate it.
