Battle of Ideas

There is a battle of ideas being waged in modern America; many have called it the culture war. As Christians, we are to fight this battle in a very specific way. It is crucial that we attack the deeper cause of the cultural conflict. We must dig down to the deep philosophical roots of the battles that we are fighting. The fact of the matter is that over the past thirty years, the American mind has been drastically transformed. 67 percent of Americans deny the existence of absolute truth. More than 70 percent say there are no moral absolutes. This confusion over Truth is the fundamental crisis of our day and age. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 that we are to "destroy" careless thoughts and arguments that keep people from knowing Christ. And that is what I hope to do with this blog. Secondly, my goal is to prepare other believers to make a defense for their faith in Christ. 1 Peter 3:15 tells us to be prepared to give an answer for the Christian faith that we have, and to do so with gentleness and respect. We receive this command from God and ought to obey Him. Through studying Christian Apologetics, not only will you be prepared to share your belief with others, but your faith will be strengthened in the process.
