Do they really Rest In Peace, or do they find a different reality beyond the grave?"

An illustration of what apologetics really is | Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry
An illustration of what apologetics really is | Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry: "Apologetics is somewhat of a lonely endeavor. It is possible for a person to give a great deal of effort to apologetic work, to defending God’s word, to answering questions, to reasoning with people and have it all seem as though it was worthless. Discouragement is a reality to the apologist. There are certainly victories, by God’s grace; but there are many encounters that could simply be classified as 'unprofitable.'"
