Defending Christianity in a secular society can be challenging. But being able to intelligently defend your worldview is so important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a definite goal of mine; to build self-confidence when it comes to sharing my faith and the WHY behind it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defending Christianity is a mandate directly from the Word of God. The Bible says:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to every man who asketh you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.<\/em><\/p>1 Peter 3:15<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But sometimes it can be hard to do that. Defending Christianity in our secular culture is becoming increasingly more difficult, especially with so much hostility growing towards the Christian faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the questions is: \u201cWhat can I do to defend my faith?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, one thing you can do is study Christian apologetics so that you can be prepared to defend the truth when the time comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t know what apologetics is? You can learn more about what Christian apologetics is here<\/a>. But in a nutshell, it’s the art and science of defending the Christian worldview with reason and evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And don\u2019t worry. You don\u2019t have to have all the answers. But being able to present some intelligible, reasonable arguments will make your argument more convincing. And it will make defending God\u2019s Word so much easier for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let\u2019s dive into how you can start defending Christianity today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several types of arguments from which to defend God\u2019s existence. In this post, I would like to explore two argument types. I will explore the other two arguments (totaling four) in a follow-up post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
