A message entitled ‘Is the Bible Sufficient for Apologetics?’ by Dr. Voddie Baucham

Amen, what Voddie said that I appreciate the most, is it is not necessary to know what the other person believes, to effectively witness to them. But it is more important to thoroughly know, understand, and apply what our Scriptures say. We must have a higher view of God, and His Scriptures; than of our own so called intellect.  

As the Apostle Paul said;

Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other. For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it? You are already full! You are already rich! You have reigned as kings without us—and indeed I could wish you did reign, that we also might reign with you! For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!

1st Corinthians 4:6-10

Two of the five pillars of the reformation are “Sola Scriptura” (Scripture Alone), and “Soli Deo Gloria” (To God alone be the glory). It’s one thing to say that, or believe that, or post these Solas on the front page of this web site, but if we do not apply and practice them; then we are liars. But much worse, as Voddie said in the below video, “Is your apologetics calling God a liar?”

As I’ve said before, every born-again Christian is called to evangelize, but not every Christian is an evangelist (which I am). And the same goes with apologetics. Every Christian is called to engage in apologetics, but not every Christian is an apologist (which I am not).
