mid-week apologetics booster (12-22-2016)

Good morning,

I sincerely hope and pray that you’re experiencing “the hush” rather than “the rush” of Christmas.  Many of us will be interacting with unbelieving family and friends over the upcoming week, so it would be a good time to prepare ourselves to defend what we believe (Jude 3, 1 Peter 3:15, Col. 4:5-6, 2 Cor. 10:5):
