Can a person be a committed Christian while ignoring apologetics?

Interesting article with an appropriate question for modern Christians. How committed can we truly be as Christians if we are not willing to defend our faith according to the precepts of 1 Peter 3:15?

To Everything there is a season…..
The author never does tell us why Eve is not ready to make a reply. It may be she really does not have any actual faith and religion is something she has done. Or it may be that she is wise and prudent and realizes that intervening in that conversation with those particular people at that particular time will not bear any fruit. She might instead decide to pray and look for an opportunity to develop a relationship with one or both. That might provide an opportunity to share more openly and deeply. 1 Peter seems to infer that we should be ready when someone asks a question of us. It does not follow that every time we hear something amiss that we should speak.

Very good point Lee! Tonight in Bible study, we were talking about appropriate times to speak and times to remain silent. Thanks for sharing your insights.

Blessings,

Brian
