We all need a good example to follow in life. But, good examples are not always easy to find! Good news…if we want good examples of using apologetics to defend the truth, we only have to look as far as the new testament book of Acts. In the book of Acts we find well over a dozen examples of early Christians using doctrine, evidence, and logic to defend the truth of salvation in Christ. 

Take some time to read these awesome passages. They will inspire your faith and encourage your desire to take a bolder stand for Jesus in a world where He is becoming less and less popular. Go against the flow!
