Apolgetics

There all forms of apolegetics, as you alluded to in your article. Here's one that led me to the Lord:
I was sitting in county jail waiting for my unusually long sentence to get under way. The idea of what I had done had hit home, and I knew I had to go to God about it. But, being raised in a non-believing Lutheran church, I had no idea what to look for. So, I decided to test the folks who visited me in there to "minister" to me. Only one shared the Good News with me, and he also gave me the book, The Cross and The Swittchblade. The testimony of that visitor up against the lack of testimony of the others spoke volumes to me. I soon accepted the Lord, based on the testimony of the author of two books, the book I mentioned and the Bible I somehow aquired in there. Then my life changed dramatically and has continued to change to this day, through much failure on my part, and yet overmuch grace on His part. Since then, I have studied Josh MacDowell's Evidence books and others to help me give the reason for my hope and I continue to pray that my personal testimony continues to have weight and substance and also be an evidence of my unseen Lord.
Thanks for the platform on which to share.

No one is smarter than their criteria...
Though the election is over, Gov. Sarah is being attacked by the leftist-humanists because they fear her re-appearance on a future ballot. They are afraid and rightly so! She is a perceptive excellent candidate to represent the Founders Principles and our American way of life with intelligent courage.
Additionally, since no one is smarter than their criteria, the collectivists are working from a pre-chosen mediocre (and worse) set of man-made carnal-ruled opinions that delimit perception of consequences-of-choice prior to choosing. In other words, they lack Vision. Based on a universe-sized ignorance, such devices are self-imposed, thus, the lefties can accurately and historically be defined as unwise.
On the other hand, Sarah and her chosen criteria, which is far superior to any man-made system of opinion, and reasonably scares those who possess no practicing standard greater than mediocrity. Their collectivist opinion rises no higher than eyebrows - or belly-button.
Sarah lives life governed by God's superior transcendent principles as found in The Holy Bible. Judeo-Christian principles are the founding precepts of the greatest nation in human history; America! Including, but not limited to, Human Defined: Earth's Choicemaker, Unique Individual Value, Personal Rights and Responsibility, and Representative Government. Add: The Creative Process is a choice-making process and functions best in Freedom.
( 5th Grade Lesson: God-made social criteria cannot be topped. All man-made social opinion has a ceiling! )
( 6th Grade Lesson: Every IQ Test is a test of one's ability to make choices. )
Sarah is recognized by friends and admirers a worthy representative of all that is wonderful about America. 2012 will be here shortly. Keep your eye on this courageous intelligent leader - and pray!
Happy 2009 AD....the Season of Generation-Choicemaker Joel 3:14 Psalm 25:12 kjv

Salting The Oats

In This article Chuck says, "You can lead a horse to water but, only the Holy Spirit can make him drink."
I agree and I would like to expand the statement a little further. Ray Comfort has said, You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. But you can salt the oats."
Also apologetics is fine as long as we are using it biblically, as a lead in for the gospel.
