Apology for Apologetics

"If there is no God, then why is there so much good?"

-St. Augustine

"We do not speak like Paul because we do not feel like Paul because we do not see like Paul."

-John Stott

"When was the last time you walked into a church and heard a sermon on why the Bible is true? This is our problem. Our young people want to believe this, but they are not getting answers on why this is true. We tell people they are framing their lives by a lie. We have followed the truth, and the biggest question in our churches today is, 'Why is this the truth?' Why have you traded your life for what's 'Genesis 1-12 says here' and the rest of it? If this is true, then we'd better tell our young people why it is true because they can't go into their colleges and universities and just say, "The Bible says..." We tell them they are living by a lie, and we tell them we are living by the truth, and they want to know who says so. The biggest failure we are doing as Christian leaders today to our young people is we have not taught them how to defend this."

-Ravi Zacharias

I love good preaching and apologetics, but I RARELY see the two together. Reading through Acts these days, I'm seeing how evident apologetics was in Paul's teachings. As for today's preachers, I can only think of Tim and Ravi who do an excellent job in presenting the Gospel in a relevant manner yet with many reasons to believe it too. I think Ravi put it very well when he said that apologetics is the appetizer while the Gospel is the main course. Preachers, give us reason to believe what you're preaching!
