Now that we have looked at
“The Big Picture,” we hope that you are ready to take the challenge, the
challenge to present the best case for the Lord Jesus that you can! The rewards are eternal and exciting!
But now, you may feel like the guy staring at the cool, 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle.
”Great! Now, where do I start???” Good question. To make it simple, we like to break it down into 3 major areas:
(1) Know WHAT we believe (DOCTRINE)
(2) Know WHY we believe (EVIDENCE)
(3) Know why other teachings/ideas are not true (LOGIC)
Don’t be overwhelmed! You can be a terrific testimony for God without being an expert in all of the areas of apologetics. We just want to encourage you to be ready to give a solid defense, to be ready for nearly any assault or challenge to your faith. Don’t be afraid of the enemy’s attacks, ”(because) God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (II Tim. 1:7)
