Reforming Modern Apologetics: Christian Knowledge Without Arguments

Guest Speaker: D. G. Limbaugh, Ph.D.

ABOUT THE TOPIC:

Dr. Limbaugh will argue that the majority of apologetic actions are acts of prayer, singing in praise, forgiving wrongdoings, acts of service, and so on.

A contemporary trend today is the use of apologetics where we appeal to logical arguments when defending the faith and presenting the Gospel message. While these are important tactics, they only make up part of what is called an ‘apologetic action’.

Like plants that are disposed to grow when exposed to the sun, we are disposed to believe in God when we encounter Him or the goodness of His creation. Such encounters include being exposed to argumentation, but also include simple acts of repentance, being invited to church, as well as other actions that tug at the heart.

No Christian is exempt from the call of apologetics and answering the call is to live a truly Christian life in everything we do.
