-
Identify one or two ways you can help prepare your students for attacks on their Christian faith.
-
We have to prepare them and help them identify deception. Arm them with scripture and the knowledge of the Bible to guide them.
-
Prepare them with scripture and examples for ways to peacefully verbalize their defense.
-
Understanding the Bible is the best way to prepare students for attacks against the christian faith. Also understanding how we know the Bible is true can really help them.
-
Ensuring that they have the tools necessary to defend the faith. 1 Peter 3:15 is perhaps my favorite verse, because it reminds us to be able at all times to provide a defense, but not to do this with disrespect. Sometimes, on the other side of the spectrum, we encounter scholars who are so passionate that they argue from a place of anger and do more harm when evangelizing.
-
I can prepare my students to respond to attacks with love. All like sheep have gone astray and those who attack the Christian faith are sheep that have gone astray, like I was. It is important to have compassion on those who are attacking and love them in order to show them the way of Jesus. Arguing, belittling, and demonization has no place in a Christian response. God is not surprised at attacks and we should not fear attacks as they are inherent to our walk with Jesus.
