Can you think of a time when you were called upon to give a defense of your faith in Christ? If so, briefly explain.

It was about 4 days ago. I was at work, and a coworker and I had a discussion about the bible. My coworker made a statement that God and Jesus were not one, and that Jesus is from earth. He basically was saying that Jesus is more human than spiritual (this is what I took his statement for). I told him that God and Jesus are one. (John 10:30; 14:7). He still didn’t want to hear the truth. He continued talking foolish talk. When people talk foolishly I walk away from the conversation. Proverbs 26; tells us not to answer/entertain a fool. A few days later my coworker called me to apologize. He said I was right, no the truth is right.

During a discussion with a fellow believer of Christ, I defended the idea of being more connected to God in a quiet environment while doing Bible study. I cited the example of Elijah in 1 Kings 19:8-19, who retreated to a quiet place when feeling depressed and ready to give up. He returned refreshed and hopeful because he heard the “low whisper” of God’s voice, which was not audible on a noisy street. The person I was speaking with had a different perspective, suggesting that finding a quieter time and place, such as by peaceful waves or in a spot with no people or noise, can also be a way to connect with God. It’s interesting how we all have our own unique ways of connecting with God, and creating a quiet space for personal connection is definitely important.

Yes, my son has been listening to several podcasts. One refuted many of the OT stories with strange “facts.” He wanted to argue with me. I refused and repeated why I believed what I believed.

I recently had a faith discussion with a JW believer, our discussion turned to John 1:1 (In the beginning was the Word,and the Word was with God and the Word was God) as I wanted to focus on the diety of Jesus as I knew their NWT version says “the Word was A God” making their Jesus a little god. With the little information I had regarding JW doctrine I challenged them on their inter linear translation from the Greek and they later sent me a scripted rebuttal. The positive is they gave me their mobile number and I have sent them many Gospel texts (they’ve since stopped replying). I hope a seed has been planted, I came from love while trying to attempt to give them a reason for the hope that is within me.
God bless

For me, I seem to come across people who are completely non-believers. They believe in science and say that God does not exist, it’s all made up fantasy. I’m here because I’ve been called to be able to defend our Lord . I want to be a warrior of truth and boldly and courageously tell them the truth. I find I just don’t have the right words yet.
