Pot-shot Series: IntroductionJuly 2nd, 2010 I have been sharing the Gospel for several years, and it has been a long time since I have heard an objection to it that is new. It has been a joy to receive these objections, when they are sincere, knowing that there is a biblical response to every one of them. There are some people, however, who are not sincere. While sharing the Gospel on the streets, they will come up to you and express their objection and then scurry away. It might be some comment made before the door is slammed in your face, or the phone is hung up. No doubt these people feel that they have scored some point, but in reality they have acted quite cowardly and missed the opportunity to know that there is a reasonable and biblical response to their objection. In most cases, if the opportunity arises to ask why they believe these objections they cannot tell you. The reason is that they don’t know themselves. They are not able enough to give a response, nor are they honest enough to stick around for a response. It is for this reason (and because of a recent encouter of this kind) that I have decided to do a series on these pot-shot objections and give my response. Perhaps you are one of the perpetrators of such an attack. Then I hope you will be honest enough in this anonymous setting to now hear the response. Perhaps you are someone who has had the same concern and honestly wondered about the answer. Or perhaps you have had someone bring up such an objection to and you didn’t know how to reply to them. Whatever the reason, I hope this series, which will be added to over a period of time, will bless you and inform you. If you have any questions or concerns, please respond to the appropriate blog article or contact us.

I’m looking forward to this series. “Pot-shot” is just the word for it. It seems to be the accepted and “cool” way for sceptics today to score points against Christianity. Make some off-the-cuff, derogatory, infammatory comment and watch the Christians swirm – or so they hope. It’s the guerilla tactics of intimidation and fear-mongering versus a rational, honest, open debate. The fact of the matter is, the sceptics don’t have a leg to stand on, and they know it! May the Lord open their hearts and minds.
