“I go out to preach with two propositions in mind. First – every person ought to give his life to Christ. Second – whether or not anyone else gives Him his life, I will give Him mine.” – Jonathan Edwards

What’s CoffeeCupApologetics.com About:

“…Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.” – 1 Corinthians 8:1b (NIV)

The foundation for our zeal of God’s Word is “Love.”
- Love for God and His Living Word (The Bible)
- Love for others so as to see all come to the knowledge of His saving Grace.

CCA – This project, Blog, or call it what you will, is the outcome of two guys that are in love with God and have a zeal for His Living Word the Bible! Kyle and I dreamed up this little blog (web site) as an outlet to our zeal. Like the quotes and verses state above, the foundation for our desire to grow in our apologetic skills is “love.”

– Kyle and I began to meet at a coffee shop, and we caught ourselves discouraged and complaining about the lack of zeal for God, His Word and for Radical Christian Living all around us… So we decided to stop the whining and start living out this passion we have for our God.

– Now, Kyle for some time has been wanted to start an “apologetics” news letter for our church and friends, so he brought it up again and I mentioned the idea of starting a blog on apologetics. He liked the idea and we began to brain storm… After a few minutes of going back and forth with ideas He came up with “Coffee Cup Apologetics” – Being that we meet for coffee every week and linking the theme of down to earth relaxing environment of a coffee shop, and our discussions on God’s word (apologetics), he came up with the name… “CoffeeCupApologetics.com.” We’re all about the “meat and potatos” of apologetics like Kyle likes to call it. We want to us apologetics not to put down other’s wrong beliefs, but to show others that God loves them and through our knowledge of our faith, lead others to the knowledge of God’s saving Grace (the gospel). We want the foundation and the motivation of our zeal to preach the gospel to be rooted in a genuine love and compassion for others…

Ephesians 4:15 (NASB) – but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ,

“I do not expect to live long… therefore I speak very plainly” – Robert Murray McCheyne

Ephesians 4:29 (NASB) – Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

“If you have not me us, you have missed little. If you have not met our Savior, you have missed everything.”
