“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, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behaviour in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.” 1 Peter 3:15-16

• Engage in dialog (Don’t create a Christian ghetto for yourself)
• Focus on the ‘hope that you have’ which is the main brushstrokes of the gospel message (Don’t get side-tracked by secondary issues)
• Speak with gentleness and respect (something almost absent in our generation)
• Let your lifestyle be a witness to your words as you life an exemplary life
