Resharing quotes from Ratio Christi at Marshall University
Too many Christians don’t seem to care that Christianity is routinely ridiculed as outdated, irrational, and narrow-minded in our culture. They may complain that this "offends" them (just as everyone else is complaining that one thing or another "offends" them), but they do little to counteract the charges by offering a defense of the Christian world view in a variety of settings. Yet Scripture commands all Christians to have a reason for the hope that is within them and to present this with gentleness and respect to unbelievers (1 Peter 3:15). Our attitude should be that of the Apostle Paul who was "greatly distressed" when he beheld the idolatry of sophisticated Athens. This zeal for the truth of God led him into a fruitful apologetic encounter with the thinkers gathered to debate new ideas (see Acts 17). It should for us as well. Just as God "so loved the world" that he sent Jesus to set us right with God (John 3:16), Jesus’ disciples should so love the world that they endeavor to reach the lost by presenting the Gospel and answering objections to the Christian faith (John 17:18).

By the way, I started a Knitting/Crochet group for beginners and seasoned pros if anyone is interested.
TIP: Check out the groups and pages section for more conversation options. When you click on them, you will see something that says 'my groups' (or 'my pages' if that's what you clicked on). That is only the groups/pages YOU started. Click on SUGGESTED groups/pages to see what else is out there to join. Then there is an option for "Joined" groups/pages. These are ones started by OTHERS, but which you have joined.
Anyway, check 'em out!
