Incarnational Apologetics...

Jan 27, 2010

Classes have started and I am knee deep in homework. Stressful as it is some nights, I love it. I am reading books that I wouldn't be reading if it weren't for these classes, and definitely learning things I wouldn't be learning on my own.

For my Contemporary Evangelism class, I just read an article by the professor on the topic of Incarnational Apologetics. A fancy way of saying, "Walk your talk." In a class centered on the topic of evangelism, we can too often get caught up in what method to use in sharing the Gospel, what questions to ask to bring the conversation around to spiritual things, what verses to use, etc. Evangelism can get so one-sided and off balance... very quickly.

But the article was just a great reminder to have our life in order as we are trying to share the Gospel. In this day and age, people could care less about what you say unless they already have a foundational respect for you and how you live your life.

Jesus talked. And he walked. Who are we to accept any less for our own lives?

Now that you are "educated" are you going to start using big words on me like "Incarnational Apologetics"?

Hi, my name is Joe Miller. I realize I am a few years late to the post, but I wanted to bring to your attention a series of videos I use in my coursework on "Incarnational Apologetics & Christian Worldview" via YouTube http://bit.ly/Xf5Jxx

Would love your feedback and maybe you can make use of them in your own ministry.

Blessings,
Joe
