LOVE WORTH FINDING 25TH JUNE 2025 WEDNESDAY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE BY ADRIAN ROGERS
TOPIC: Eventually, Faith Must Fly
“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.” – 1 Peter 3:15
Ponder This
When’s the last time someone asked about your faith because he or she saw something in you that could not be explained? You are to be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you about the hope that’s in you. Are you ready?

In this verse, the word for “defense” is the same word we get apologetics from. Give an apologia, an apology. It doesn’t mean to say, “I’m so sorry;” it means a reason, as one would give in a court of law. The Bible tells us we are to reason. You can be logical.
Logic is a valuable tool, but logic can only take you so far. Learn the limits of logic when dealing with skeptics. Suppose you want to go to Europe. You get in your car, and you drive to New York City and to New York Harbor. No bridge crosses the Atlantic Ocean. So, you park your car, and you go the rest of the way on an airplane. The car is good, but it can only take you so far. Logic is like that. Logic is wonderful, but it will only take you so far. And when you come to a chasm that is so wide that logic can’t leap, then faith must fly. We can begin with logic, but faith must always be the final step.
- What were some of the questions you had about Christianity when you were young in the faith? How were those questions answered?
- Who do you know with a lot of questions about faith right now? How do you engage with them? Have you taken the time to listen and give them an answer? Why or why not?
Practice This
Sit down with someone who is not a Christian or is young in his or her faith and listen to that person’s questions about Christianity, then share what you have learned.
