I saw this story on News of the Weird and had to laugh:
Brandon Hiser, 22, was arrested in Kansas City, Mo., in May for trying to break into a bank using only a screwdriver, which would be a daunting task any time but the bank Hiser was trying to enter was the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. [Kansas City Star, 5-26-09]
Then I thought, “Hmmm, we Christians are not much different from that guy at times. Me included!”
How many of us can truly say we are equipped to defend the truths of Christianity? We all can’t be Lee Strobel or Greg Koukl, both of whom are highly skilled defenders and debaters. But we should be able to make a few well-reasoned arguments when needed. Maybe we don’t ever need to. If so, I would guess that we aren’t being open to opportunities to make a case for Christ, or feel so ill equipped that we intentionally let really good opportunities pass by. Time to trade in that screwdriver for a bazooka.
