The Best Defense Is A Good Offense

Today is Super Bowl Sunday. How many Chiefs fans

do we have here today? How about Eagles fans?

There is an old saying in football that goes like this,

“Offense wins games, defense wins

championships.” And yet there is another quote

that says,

“The best defense is a good offense”

Both are true... They remind me of 1 Peter 3:15-16,

(NKJV),

“15 But sanctify the Lord God in your

hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to

everyone who asks you a reason for the hope

that is in you, with meekness and fear; 16 having

a good conscience, that when they defame you

as evildoers, those who revile your good

conduct in Christ may be ashamed.”

One thing for certain this morning as we read

chapters 25-26, the apostle Paul is a champion of

the Christian faith! He makes a great defense for his

faith by having a great offense that's impossible to

defend against.
