Prepare To Answer

What’s In Your Bible: Be prepared to answer.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 1 Pet 3:15

Many people get uncomfortable answering Biblical questions because they haven’t studied.

They don’t know the topics and issues so they either stay silent and frustrated or when they try to answer they get angry and end up calling names and embarrassing themselves.

1 Thes 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

Study to be quite. What does that mean?

Do your own business. Study! Do the work!

Work with your own hands.

You do the studying.

Sniper training is fearsome.

Tens of thousands of rounds are fired in all types of conditions, heat, cold, rain, wind, rotation of the earth, insects and war like conditions.

Learn the weapon then the ammo.

Practice and master shooting in all conditions.

Until you can fire accurately under pressure.

The Sniper is calm and quiet in all circumstances.

Because he’s studied and done his homework.

He knows by experience and practice how to account for a perfect shot.

In order for him to fire accurately, he has to be calm and quiet. Nothing can rattle him.

Missing the target can be a life-or-death or a Salvation Heaven or Hell situation.

Pick a question or an issue.

Find out as much about it as you can.

Don’t be afraid to ask or answer questions or afraid to fail!

You will be wrong. Count on it!

Learn from mistakes and improve yourself.

Once you’ve mastered that issue, put it in your quiver and move on to the next one. Soon you’ll have an arsenal at your disposal.

You’ll have a few scars along the way to remind you of where you are and what you’re made of.

When it comes time to answer that question you’ll be calm and quiet because you’ve been there.

Don’t go off railing ad hominem attacks. Remain quiet.

Become the teacher

It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. Pro 25:2

Be the Noble Berean and search the scriptures daily to see if things be so.
