1 Peter 3:15 Updated American Standard Version (UASV) 15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect; ARE YOU ASLEEP TO YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES? Proverbs 6:9-11 Updated American Standard Version (UASV) 9 How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, 11 your poverty will come upon you like a robber, and your want like an armed man.
The Bible Helps Us to Share the Good News
Evangelism is the work of a Christian evangelist, of which all true Christians are obligated to partake to some extent, which seeks to persuade other people to become Christian, especially by sharing the basics of the Gospel, but also the deeper message of biblical truths.
8 Steps to an Effective Christian Apologetic-Evangelism Program For Your Church
STEP 1: Raise your expectations. We dumb down the church with cartoon Bible study booklets, we dumb down our churchgoers with interpretive Bible translations (NIV, CEV, TEV, NLT, etc.) People will do what you expect them to do.

The First Interview With Christ
John 1:35–42
There stood a mighty Prophet; there was the predicted character of the Lord’s Servant; there was a peerless One. The good news proclaimed by John the Baptist was true. The Christ had indeed come.
May we not pause here to consider what this means with reference to our methods of work for Christ?
HOW CAN WE BE READY TO DEFEND YOUR CHRISTIAN FAITH AND KNOW HOW YOU OUGHT TO ANSWER EACH PERSON?
"For the sharing of the message of Christ to be effective, the wise walk must be accompanied with flavorful talk. The believer’s talk is to be gracious, rather than gruff, and charming, rather than coarse." - Max Anders
"A Christian should not attempt to ram the truth down someone’s throat or to speak patronizingly or critically to them." - David Walls and Max Anders
The Emphasis of the Apostles on Apologetic Evangelism

1 Peter 3:15: Christians Know How You Ought to Answer

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE METHODS OF SOUL-WINNING?
The most important kind of Christian work in the world is personal work. We look at the men who stand on the platform and speak to great crowds, but I believe God pays more attention to the man who sits down with a single soul.
WHY IS IT THAT HE THAT WINNETH SOULS IS WISE?

CHRISTIANS ARGUING WITH CHRISTIANS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: A Real Interest In the Salvation of the Lost?
"Christians" on social media spend more time arguing with each other than evangelizing unbelievers. How are we fulfilling the command to proclaim God's Word, teach, and make disciples (Matt. 24:14; 28:19-20; Ac 1:8), while we are sitting alone at our computer drawing off by ourselves and snarling and grumbling amongst each other on social media?...
