Sometimes, it's hard to know what to say to sinners. This is, perhaps, even harder when they're on the attack and you're on the defensive. In that moment, our knowledge of Scripture, our trust in the Holy Spirit, and our peace with Christ are our greatest assets. --In Acts 24-24-27, Paul is recorded as giving yet another legal defense. Here, Luke is building a crescendo of convincing reasons why the Christian church should never give up and should keep on keeping on. It is an account of Pauline textbook consistency in his Gospel message that is, for us, a textbook case for how we should approach sinners, even when they're on the attack.
