The whole point of apologetics is to win souls for Christ…not to win an argument. So defend your faith strongly, but check your attitude and make sure you’re doing it out of love.
Don’t be like Nim. Apologetics is defending your faith, it’s also one of the most powerful ways to bring non-believers to a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Nim: This apologetics stuff is really easy. All I have to do is defend my faith, which is simple.
Con: Simple? Really? What do you say when someone denies God? How do you respond to attacks against Jesus? Where do you take a conversation that's so conflict-ridden?
Nim: Well, I find it helpful to take a deep breath, look them in the eye and go...
Nim: I've been telling others about Jesus.
Con: That's great, Nim!
Con: Apologetics is fascinating. Some people use facts to share their beliefs from an intellectual viewpoint. Some use emotional pleas to build commonality. And others use confrontation, arguing their beliefs to the end.
Con: What do you use to tell others about Christ, Nim?
