Your Character Is Just As Important to Your Apologetics As Your Logic
Christians who develop an interest in apologetics often begin to believe that the most important things to learn are logic, rational arguments, and evidential proofs. They can become very focused on making sure their logic is airtight, while completely ignoring the...
The Self-Attesting Authority of Scripture
How do we argue for the authority of Scripture? If we resort to evidences and proofs for the reliability or authority of Scripture, we fall into the trap of placing reason in the seat of judgment over Scripture. So how do we establish the authority of the Bible? John...
The Bible is Authoritative on Everything of Which It Speaks
The Bible is thought of as authoritative on everything of which it speaks. And it speaks of everything. We do not mean that it speaks of football games, of atoms, etc., directly, but we do mean that it speaks of everything either directly or indirectly. It tells us...
Understanding the Differences Between the Expansion of Christianity and Islam
Nineteenth-century Christian missions exploded across the globe with the general expectation that the gospel would penetrate the whole world, and that the evangelism of the world would conceivably be completed within a century or so. That sense of optimism is not so...
Why is the Trinity Important to Apologetics?
Why is the Trinity important to apologetics? Well, what happens when unitarianism (the view that God is merely one) is substituted for Trinitarianism? One result is that the God so defined tends to lose definition and the marks of personality. In the early centuries...
True Christianity and Liberalism Are Two Different Religions
J. Gresham Machen states it as clearly as it can be said: It is no wonder, then, that liberalism is totally different from Christianity, for the foundation is different. Christianity is founded upon the Bible. It bases upon the Bible both its thinking and its life....
What is the Role of an Apologist in the Church?
We may think of the apologist as constantly walking up and down on or near the outer defenses of the fortress. This will give the other occupants time to build and also enjoy the building. The others too must defend, but not so constantly and unremittingly. The...
Every Person Possess a Clear and Distinct Knowledge of God
One of the most fundamental truths of Christian apologetics is that every person is born with a clear knowledge of God. I don't mean that every person has knowledge of a God, but that each individual knows the God who created him. This idea seems counter-intuitive,...
The Importance of 1 Peter 3:15-16 for Apologetics
The text of Scripture that most clearly teaches us about every believer's responsibility to be involved in apologetics is 1 Peter 3:15-16. In this passage, every believer is commanded to be prepared to "give and answer," lit. "make a defense" (Greek: apologia) for...
Human Rights in a World of Cultural Relativism? Not Possible! At Least Not Consistent.
“In a purely naturalistic universe without God there is no compelling way to resolve this dilemma [between commitment to moral relativism and human rights]. Contemporary academia is in a moral stalemate. Cultural relativism is essential to dismantling the many Western...
Understanding Postmodernism
Postmodernism affects everything it touches, often in ways of which we are not aware. Its effects on the writing of history are to make history inaccessible to all but a few academic elites, or to reinterpret history in the image of the historian, with little regard...
God Rests Too Inconsequentially in the American Church
Twenty years ago Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary church historian David Wells wrote, The fundamental problem in the evangelical world today is that God rests too inconsequentially upon the church. His truth is too distant, his grace is too ordinary, his judgment...
