— From an essay by Douglas Wilson (Covenant Community Church of Orange County, 1990).
"The Bible teaches that intellectual darkness is the result of rebellion, not the cause of it. Those who have been brought out of darkness have a responsibility to speak to those who are still in it. As they speak it is crucial to realize the source of intellectual darkness, and to address it through the demeanor of the speaker, and the content of what is said. If the apologist displays God’s character and demonstrates thankfulness to Him, then it is far more likely that God’s mercy will be demonstrated."

No one was ever argued into the kingdom of God. I think we have to be aware of our attitudes as we share the message. I think we really should be living lives so that people will actually ask us what's different in us.
I agree completely. No to just do it.

totally agree. Our actions should always speak louder than our words.
