Christian apologetics is the rational defense of the Christian worldview as objectively true, rationally compelling, and existentially or subjectively engaging.

As Christians do battle with false ideas that keep people from coming to Christ, they are dealing with power encounters, not just interacting with ideas, individuals, and events. We triumph “‘not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty” (Zech 4:6; Acts 1:8).

Zeal does not ensure knowledge; in fact, zeal may serve as a beguiling surrogate for knowledge.

God is consistent and cannot lie. God cannot deny himself or assert what is false, nor can he make something both true and false in the same way at the same time. This is no limit on God; it is a virtue.

The word apologetics comes from the Greek word apologia, which can be translated as “defense” or “vindication.”

With any writing, a text taken out of context is a pretext for error.

Unless we establish a biblical view of God, people will likely place Jesus in the wrong worldview, taking him to be merely a guru or swami or prophet rather than Lord, God, and Savior

The apologist, in fact, cannot substitute bare emotional fervor for intellectual acumen and hard study. Rather, they should work hand in hand.

we need tenacity in the face of opposition to stand our ground and speak the truth.
