Have you ever had to defend your faith?
Keep this quote from John Piper in mind the next that happens.

"Whenever a Christian converses with a non-Christian about the truth of the faith, every request of the non-Christian for the proof of the Christianity should be met with an equally serious request for proof of the non-Christian philosophy of life. Otherwise we get the false impression that the Christian world view is tentative and uncertain, while the more secular world views are secure and sure, standing above the need to give a philosophical and historical accounting of themselves,  But that is not the case."

The quote continues.

"Many people who demand that Christians produce proof of our claims do not make the same demand upon themselves.  Secular skepticism is assumed to be reasonable because it is widespread, not because it is well argued. We should simply insist that the controversy be conducted with fairness.  If the Christian must produce proof, so must others."

The message of the Bible is true. It's rock solid. Stand firm on it. But know what you believe and why it is rock solid.

The world around us has a good amount of skepticism. As a Christian, you will be challenged in your beliefs. But don't be afraid to challenge the skeptics on where they stand. Turn it around on them.
