The Bible says that every Christian is to “give a defense” for their faith in Jesus Christ. (1st Peter 3:15). The word for “defense” is apologia in the Greek, which is where we get the word “apologize” from. That doesn’t mean Christians must say, “I’m sorry for being a Christian!” What it does mean though is that every Christian needs t
The Bible says that every Christian is to “give a defense” for their faith in Jesus Christ. (1st Peter 3:15). The word for “defense” is apologia in the Greek, which is where we get the word “apologize” from. That doesn’t mean Christians must say, “I’m sorry for being a Christian!” What it does mean though is that every Christian needs to learn give a defense of why and how to Defend Their Faith, and that includes children also. Children and adults need to learn not just what to believe, but also why they should believe it. This is called apologetics.
In 1st Peter 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

The Gospel Message
1st Corinthians 15:1-4,Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
Romans 1:1-6, Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ.

NEW ALEXANDRIA -- It may not have a steeple or an ornate facade, but the former Reformed Presbyterian Church has earned its place in the history of this small community along the Loyalhanna Creek.
The more than 130 years of history embodied by the red brick structure at 214 Church St. was duly recognized Saturday, with the ceremonial presentation of an historic building plaque issued by the Derry Area Historical Society.
The bronze plaque is the 28th to be awarded since 2000, when the society began spotlighting older buildings within the Derry Area School District that have retained at least 85 percent of their original architecture--including walls, windows, flooring and trim.
According to Evelyn Ruffing, who oversees the program for the society, the plaques represent an effort to "seek out our historical buildings and try to save them, to make the people who own them and the community be proud of that history."
Ruffing noted the 1870 New Alexandria church is a typical and well-preserved example of the solid buildings that were erected in that period by rural Presbyterian congregations.
"The early Presbyterian churches were a box with a gabled roof in front and tall windows," she said, pointing out that same pattern is evident at another older area church, the Old Salem Church north of New Derry.
