One man said it this way, don’t let the world teach you theology. 1 Peter 3:15 says 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; Do we know what we believe and why we believe it? We had better or the devil and his lies will invade our life and take over.
