“If apologetics becomes a fight over a system ... it becomes something
very different from the 'giving an answer' for faith that the New
Testament asks for. The struggle may not be waged for the sake of a
fight, but only for the sake of the truth. There must, therefore, never
be lust for victory in confrontation. Confrontations can easily be waged
in a manner that alienates faith from science without the believing
disputants even understanding the problems of science; quick
counterarguments are then not even taken seriously by the other side.
Apologetics may then celebrate some sort of victory, while in reality it
has only exposed its poverty.” — G. C. Berkouwer
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
