How should we approach the task of preaching in the face of such confusion? In an age when the reality of truth is itself denied, when most persons think their most basic problems are rooted in a lack of self-esteem, and when personal choice is the all-determining reality of the marketplace, how should we go about proclaiming and defending a gospel that declares to people that they are sinners in need of the one and only Savior? I would argue that at this critical time of cultural and intellectual transition, the task of preaching must be understood as an apologetic calling.
