Challenge: You Shouldn’t Use Apologetics

Here’s a challenge you might hear from a Christian:

In 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, Paul says, “[M]y message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.” If Paul didn’t use “persuasive words of wisdom” when he went to the Corinthians, wouldn’t it be wrong for us to use apologetics today?

What do you think about this one? Tell us in the comments below how you would respond, then Brett will answer this challenge for us on Thursday.
