Being Prepared
Today we read 1 Peter 3:15 -But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always bePastor Henry talked about how this verse means we should be prepared to give an answer, and not an argument and not to convert or convince people of your reason for the hope you have. A helpful answer should be brief, clear, use everyday language and be done with gentleness and respect. A helpful answer answers the question, "What difference has Jesus Christ made in your life?"
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.
If someone asks you, do you feel prepared to give an answer for the hope you have in Jesus Christ?
I do feel prepared to tell people about the hope I have and even more so after working on it at church and talking about it with the people at my table because now it's more personal.

Wow--being prepared to give an answer, not an agrument. That is good advice for pretty much any important discussion.
I am going to challenge myself to think that way about EVERYTHING for the next week or so. I bet some really good fruit will come out of that!
