VerseD: Isaiah 54:17
“no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”
Isaiah 54:17, ESV
As Christians, we have the truth. No argument can defeat God’s truth.
And even if people try to hurt or kill us, we still have eternal life waiting for us in Christ.
VerseD: 2 Timothy 1:7
for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7, ESV
We should not shrink back from sharing God’s truth with a rebellious, fallen world. We have the power to obey Christ’s commands and love by the Holy Spirit.
Ken Ham vs. the SES Apologetic
This is a little on the long side, but it explains parts of apologetics very well, especially coming from a Young Earth perspective.
Daniel
I wanted to spend a few moments interacting with this article over at the Southern Evangelical Seminary blog,
Does Ken Ham’s Defense Biblical Authority Lead to Biblical Skepticism?
It’s an article written by my past internet foil, Adam Tucker. He has provided us with a helpful treatise expaining the methodology behind how SES teaches apologetic engagement. He excellently contrasts a classical/Thomist approach to apologetics from a presuppositional/Bible-based one that I believe lends us insight for sharpening our apologetic focus.
Bear with me, this is gonna be a long one
A Little Background
Now the first thing one is probably wondering about is what exactly does Ken Ham have to do with all of this.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1, ESV
Our God can handle anything, because He is ultimately in control of everything.
Fall in His arms and trust His strength in every thing that comes your way.
Seven Letters to Seven Churches-Introduction Part 3

VerseD: Proverbs 16:18
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18, ESV
Do not think you can do everything on your own. Sometimes we all need help.
Especially in matters of eternity. We all need Christ to escape The Fall.
VerseD: Jeremiah 31:3
the Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore, I have continued to extend faithful love to you.
Jeremiah 31:3, CSB
Though we all stray from God, He calls out in love to come home. Today, He uses the Church, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to call to this fallen world.
Be His voice.

I am following thus series. Everyone else should, too.
Daniel
VerseD: John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13, ESV
Just as Christ – God become Man – sacrificed Himself for our sins, we should be willing to sacrifice anything and everything for the sake of others in the love and name of Christ.

Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
