In fact I believe when you read Scripture, you will find more encouragement to take care of others over preaching supporting evidences.

We're called to reflect Christ in our lives. But the example of St. Paul and the apostles shows that it's quite legitimate to offer evidence to support our claim that Christ rose from the dead. St. Paul offered evidence when he preached. Read 1 Corinthians 15:1-8

Did you read my whole post?

I’m certainly not against preaching evidences. I just think that personally, the priority is living and loving as Christ would in your own world...or the people that you come into contact with.

You can “beat” someone in a debate about evidences and still have them reject you and Jesus. However, give a hungry person a meal and you’ll see doors open to embracing Jesus.

I definately loving studying and talking about evidences to any and all people, but that is secondary. What makes a bigger impact in peoples lives is being there when they need a shoulder to cry on, or a ride to work, or a good winter coat, etc.

Sincerely
