What is Apologetics?

Today I was talking to some of my fellow apologists and I said it would be cool to have apologetics shirts. “They could say something like ‘Ask me about the verbal plenary inspiration of scripture’ on the front and ‘I *heart* apologetics’ on the back.” We laughed and thought it a funny idea. But really, what IS the verbal plenary inspiration of scripture? If you study apologetics you can learn about who God is, and how to defend your faith. I had never even heard of the verbal plenary inspiration of scripture until a few weeks ago. But I have grown so much and learned so much just in these past six months. It would take me a whole 4 cards and 6 min. to tell you about the verbal plenary inspiration of scripture, so i will save that for another time. But I just want to encourage you that Apologetics is probably the best thing since excepting Christ I have done.

In apologetics I learn who my God is (immutable, omniscient, mediator etc.) and how to defend my faith. This is so important. The world wants to tell you your faith is foolish and without proof. But that is a lie. When you spend time learning about who God is and how to defend that, you will do just that! you will stand firm and be a light.

"The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice." Prov. 12:15

let us not be wise in our own eyes, but listen to wise council.

Yes it maybe nerdy, but hey I think nerdy is cool! Please consider making apologetics apart of your life. You will never regret it, and you will learn so much and your faith in God will grow to be deeper and stronger that ever before.
