The Apostle Peter writes, “always be prepared to give an answer (apologia; a reasoned defense) to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope you have” (1 Peter 3:15). The Apostle Paul writes, “preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”  (2 Timothy 4:2-4)
