Don't Approach Faith Halfheartedly

A biblical apologetic is the best use of our natural faculties of thought in submission to the Holy Spirit to remove doubts and problems that hinder a trustful, energetic participation in a life of personal relationship with God.

Now, this goes all the way from believing in God to believing the right things about God. You remember in Hebrews 11:6 we are told (forgive me, but I still like the King James Version): "He that cometh unto God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that halfheartedly seek him." Oops! Was there an error in there? I meant "diligently seek him." Now, diligent seeking is an expression of a number of things, not the least being faith—confidence. When we are halfhearted in our faith, we are halfhearted in our thinking. And the halfheartedness defeats the whole project.
