This Little Light of Mine (At Work)Voorbeeld

Be ready to tell others about the hope within you. Many Christians hesitate to talk about their faith because they worry others will think they are unintelligent. This often comes from the perception that Christianity is a baseless belief system. We're all responsible to defend the faith when asked (1 Peter 3:15). This may require you to speak to the effects of the gospel (why it matters), the real message of the gospel (what it says), or the reliability of the biblical texts that contain the gospel message (why we can believe it). Of course, it takes some preparation on your part to be able to speak to these things. Spend time in God's Word. Consider reading a book or two on Christian apologetics. Your study time will help you confidently speak to the significance and the reliability of the faith you hold dear. It'll also likely fortify your own faith as you are reminded just how reasonable the Christian faith is. Prayer Prompt: Thank you for your Holy Word, Lord. As I continue to read and study, illuminate your truth and guide me in sharing why I believe your Word is true - with gentleness and respect.
