Seeking to Turn Opponents to Allies
While many will vehemently resist the biblical gospel, we must see through their biases and double down on the authenticated message God has commissioned us to share persuasively.
Christians on Trial
Remembering Your Purpose
We must be faithful to fulfill God’s purpose for our lives by obeying the clear vocational and ministry calling for our lives.
The Role of Your Testimony
We must strategically employ the powerful evangelistic tool of our personal testimony as a supplement to our sharing of the gospel facts.
The Power of Integrity
Just as Paul was brought before earthly tribunals to be examined, we need to be sure by faith we avoid God’s tribunal and prepare to stand to give an account before Christ’s tribunal.
Fear, Faith & Reason
While we will always have opposition as Christians in this world, we must never fear but only trust God and proceed with wisdom, as we continue to live our lives for him.
Grace, Patience & Persistence
We should give thanks for all of God’s kind provisions as we patiently and uncompromisingly stand up for Christ in our increasingly hostile culture.
The Elements of a Good Defense
We must respond to anti-Christian accusations against us with a respectful, positive, and well-reasoned defense, doing all we can to represent Christ in a dignified manner.
The Kinds of Opposition to Expect
We can expect in our day all sorts of opposition for being faithful to Christ and biblical truth, but we must remember our calling and courageously endure whatever comes our way.
