Is Apologetics Necessary?

Every Thought Captive has an interesting topic – and, it seems to be right up my alley.

My basic thesis is that the first reason is an important cultural observation which should help us understand what kind of role apologetics will play in our world today, but that the second reason is, well, basically hogwash. In a short series of posts I want to argue that apologetics are still necessary, and will always be a necessary part of the life of the Christian disciple but that the cultural observation made above will guide us in our understanding about what is important about apologetics today. In short, apologetics are still a necessary and important part of the Church, but it may take on a slightly different face that it has in the past century.

Head on over, and take a look.

On the Edge

Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, but we are keeping silent; if we wait until morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king’s household. – 2 Kings 7:9

Like a Razor…

Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit. – Ps. 52.2
