I'm all for lifestyle evangelism, but I'm also in favor of intentionality, where we seek out opportunities for spiritual conversations and are equipped to explain the gospel and why we believe it.
Often it is hard. So hard, in fact, that Jesus' decree to love and pray for our opponents is regarded as one of the most breathtaking and gut-wrenching challenges of his entire Sermon on the Mount, a speech renowned for its outrageous claims. There was no record of any other spiritual leader ever having articulated such a clear-cut, unambiguous command for people to express compassion to those who are actively working against their best interests.
For me, apologetics proved to be the turning point of my life and eternity. I'm thankful for the scholars who so passionately and effectively defend the truth of Christianity - and today my life's goal is to do my part in helping others get answers to the questions that are blocking them in their spiritual journey toward Christ.
In a world where spiritual confusion is increasing, GodQuest helps bring clarity and conviction. This is a terrific resource for developing a solid foundation for faith.
Learning about the intellectual basis for Christianity bolsters the faith of Christians-espe cially those who may be experiencing doubts-and prepares them to share Christ with others.
Faith is only as good as the one in whom it's invested.
I'm noticing an exciting trend around the country: a resurgence of interest in Christian apologetics (the defense of the faith). This is a reaction to the current attacks on the essentials of Christianity that are coming from militant atheists, radical professors, and Internet gadflies.
Nobody is beyond the reach of the Gospel.
Science itself is steadily nailing the lid on atheism's coffin.
The Internet has helped atheists and agnostics coalesce as never before.
Intelligent design is consistent with any faith system I can think of, because most faith systems believe that there is a creator.
I certainly believe that God did create the world, yeah, absolutely I believe that.
I am primarily a writer of books, and I enjoy that. But I come to realize that a lot of people prefer a visual medium.
Apologetics has an important place in the local church as we seek to influence our communities for Christ in an increasingly skeptical culture.
