No apologies... apologetics!


This past 6 days, we have been blessed with two special guests all the way from Williamsburg, Virginia. Pastor Tom Hallman and one of his brothers in ministry, Brian, came out and blessed us with: a special message at our men's breakfast, a Sunday morning message, and an all-day apologetics conference today.

What is apologetics? Oxford American Dictionary defines it as "reasoned arguments or writings in justification of something, typically a theory or religious doctrine." Well, I wish I could have been in attendance, but today was a regular work day for me. But I got there for the final 15 minutes of the final session, just in time to take a group picture (see above), a picture with Pastor Tom (see below), and hang out with whoever was around.

So, for those of you who read this and are Christians, how do you defend the faith? Have you had to? What's your best argument for:
1) the existence of God
2) the truth of Jesus' death/resurrection
3) the exclusivity of salvation through Christ?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
