En Gardé - Prepare to Defend Your Faith

En gardé - one of the few French phrases we know. Basically means, "defend yourself" or "be on the ready." And that's exactly what today's topic is all about.

Del Tackett from "The Truth Project" posed this question:

"Do you really believe what you say you believe is really real?"

If that's true, then the next step is to know as much as you can know about your faith, beginning with you. When did you make Jesus Christ Lord of your life? That's the foundation of your faith. When sharing with anyone about the Lord, it all begins there.

There are many famous apologists throughout the centuries who have stood in defense of the faith. Their brilliance in being able to defend the faith before skeptics and antagonists is amazing.

But are we equipped to do the same? Most of us aren't but we can put on the whole armor of God and, as in 1 Peter 3:15, "make a defense to anyone who asks for the reason for the hope that is in us."

In fact, we aren't called to argue religion. It's like the old saying: "We're just simple beggars telling other beggars where to find bread."

We share five essential truths that you can easily arm yourself with when God opens a door to share. Simple, to the point, and the truth.
