Let Me Explain

Christian Apologetics - Christian apologetics is a branch of Christian theology that defends Christianity against objections...

We are in a time where our defense of the divine doctrine of JESUS CHRIST rests heavily upon our display of it. Whether verbal or visual… The world is watching the Church. The Universal Church of JESUS CHRIST. They watch how we walk, how we talk, what we do, what we don’t do, how we treat them, and how we treat each other. It’s ashamed that many who speak well of GOD show something totally different. I came to help us understand how to give the gift of the Gospel tonight. I hope you came ready to write or type. Let’s grow in GOD.

Confidence in the Call (2 Timothy 1:7)

GOD has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind...

Preparation for Explanation (Galatians 5:22-23)

The wrong approach can kill the right action...

The best explanations for our faith in CHRIST JESUS are really not spoken they’re shown. But when necessary we should be able to articulate our faith verbally to those who ask...

Anointed for Action (1 Peter 3:15)

1 Peter Readiness to Bear Witness (3:15–16)

The text probably implies no more than that Christians should always seize such opportunities when they arise, but it is fair to add that they will be unable to capitalize on the opportunities if they are not already prepared with a coherent understanding of faith and some practice in rehearsing it. Jesus’ saying in Matthew 10:19 is meant to rule out worry, not preparation!

English Standard Version Chapter 10

Persecution Will Come

16 “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 17 Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, 18 and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. 19 When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. 20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.

We express being apostolic & anointed, but not apologetic. We’re apostolic & anointed to be apologetic. I should be able to converse about what convicts me.

JESUS said HE was sending the Holy Ghost to make us witnesses… (Acts 1:8)

1 Peter Readiness to Bear Witness (3:15–16)

It is this gentle behavior that excites opprobrium from non-Christians. But now they are puzzled by the way in which the Christians respond to their slander, and the hoped-for result is that they will be ashamed of their earlier attitudes. Peter says that the demeanor of Christians on trial for their faith should make those who formerly jeered at them think again as they are confronted by their gracious attitudes. Possibly he is thinking of the way in which persecutors will be ashamed at the Last Judgment when they realize that the people whom they despised are honored by God. More likely he has in mind a change of heart by the persecutors here in this life.
