The Questions We Hope We are Never Asked! - Part 1

 

 

But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord.  Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.  But do this with gentleness and respect.                  1 Peter 3:15

 

Principles to remember when answering hard questions:

• Don’t let go of what you DO KNOW, because of something you DON’T KNOW.

• Listen for ‘questions behind the questions’ that are being asked.
• Your tone and attitude in the answer is vitally important.
• Hard questions are HARD. Be  careful not to disrespect them as though they are easy.
