When we begin to use our intellects in the service of our Creator and Savior, we naturally wish to make our best effort and produce work of the highest quality possible. It is obvious in the pages of the New Testament that this was the case with the disciples, whether they were fishermen, tax collectors, or studious teachers of the law. They put their minds to work, searching the Scriptures for better understanding, and reasoning with people to persuade them of its truth.

Listen to our podcast as we discuss and review (Taglish) Greg Banhsen’s Van Til’s Apologetics on the following heading:
2.1 The Nature and Necessity of Apologetics
- Apologetics involves intellectual reasoning and argumentation
- Apologetics requires the use of the mind and scholarly procedures
- Apologetics demands the assertion of the appropriateness and necessity of apologetical argument with unbelievers
- Apologetics Argument is not futile.
Christianity must be presented to men as the objective truth, and provably so. It is not only a moral lapse, but also an unjustifiable intellectual error, to reject the message of God’s revealed word.
