I thought I'd share with you an interesting post by Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace To You. In the post, Phil Johnson is responding to someone's question who asked what is the appropriate response when a non-believer is not intellectually satisfied with a biblical answer given in response to a biblical question. Here is his answer.
I totally agree with his answer for three main reasons.
- A non-believer's anticipated response to Biblical truth should never diminish our resolve to boldly proclaim it.
- When we hold back from sharing truth because of the anticipated response of the non-believer, our reluctance could be an indication that we are ashamed of the Gospel.
- We must keep in mind that Biblical truth is big enough and strong enough to compete and stand on its own against competing world views.
What do you think?

Amen! Think about the absurdity of the Apostle Paul's message in his cultural context: The "King of kings" died on a despised cross - and came back from the dead 3 days later? Yet Paul faithfully proclaimed that message - even to the intellectually-arrogant Athenian philosophers and stoics! Some believed, most sneered. But God was after that "some," which he got by the preaching of that "foolish" gospel!
