Reading Theos' comment on the atheist bus ad, I realise that Christians need not fear to engage in healthy and critical conversations or debates with parties that are less sympathetic or totally against Christianity. Christians should shed the fear that if we lose the debate, we will cause damage to God's work. I think biblically, Christians are to understand that only God can cause the work we do in His name to increase and prosper. All we are required to do is to know the reasons for our faith well and hold fast to the end. Not a stoic response, but always ready to engage and explain our faith, and continue to learn and grow in the knowledge of the Lord along the way. I should begin to shed my fears now.
