Arguing Doesn’t Do Any Good? Sure It Does! | Clay Jones

Brian Auten turned me onto an interesting essay by Clay Jones in which he answers the objection against apologetics that says that Christians should not argue. He does a great job in explaining how Apologetics is an important part of witnessing and following after the commands the Bible gives us. My favorite part of the essay is quoted below:
Of course, what’s at stake here is significant. Would the devil like anything more than when someone challenged the truth of historic Christianity, we just sat silent while quoting to ourselves the maxim “people shouldn’t argue”?
1 Pet. 3:15: “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.”
