Christian Apologetics

My books for the Fall arrived yesterday! After a wonderful lunch meeting last Monday with Dr. Groothuis, and then a great webinar this past Wednesday, I had to jump into Christian Aplogetics the minute I got it. Yes, the actual minute I got it I started reading it. 


Taking suggestion from Moreland, I have started making a list of all the words I don't know. Debra and Chels, aren't yall proud?!


Have loved the first chapters, specifically on the parts referring to apologetics and evangelism. I would quote what stood out to me, but I would literally copy everything I had read so far. 

In the young adults group last night, we were talking about our Biblical heroes, and I confessed Paul was mine. I got a little excited speaking about his example in evangelism, and my new friend simply said, "Oh so you have the gift of evangelism?"

{insert blank stare}

I have been blogging about this, talking with my mom about this, reading about this, and honestly fearing about not doing it well. I am so passionate about this, but as I start to really flesh it out, I find myself gripped with insecurity. How many different ways can I learn the same lesson? God is gracious and all powerful. I am weak and (continually) humbled. When I am weak, He is strong...right? I need to believe this right now. God help my unbelief.
