All of our challenges must first be absorbed in Biblical truth and then match truth to compassion, and mercy to confrontation. If we want Christ to become a public reality in us, we must seek to cultivate the balance of being full of grace and truth. We need to understand humility and how to cultivate it. Whenever we become arrogant, we hold the truth falsely. It is dangerously easy for Christian apologists to become prideful if we identify truth with our ego instead of with God's grace.
Christian humility is an arresting apologetic in and of itself.
Yes, we must reach out and minister to the casualties of our cultural rebellion and those deceived by cults. Only the Church has the real answers of life and basic issues our culture faces. Again, our challenge is to match truth to compassion, and merciful humility to confrontation and to make sure our message is clearly conveyed.
