The First Task of Evangelism

In his post, "Reasons for Reason", Kevin DeYoung asks:
"How do you give a reason for the hope that you have when the people asking you aren’t interested in reason?" 

His answer:
"It seems to me one of the first tasks of evangelism today is to reintroduce the law of non-contradiction." The law of non-contradiction is a principle in logic. It basically states that it's not possible for something to be both true and not true at the same time and in the same context. In other words, if one is true, the other is not. Therefore, one must be false.

According to DeYoung, "more and more we can’t just drop the bridge diagram on people, we need to go back and tell the larger story of creation, curse, covenant, Christ, commitment, and consummation. And even before that we may have to help people simply think; help people not just find the truth, but believe that it exists, that it is inconsistent with error, and that it does not automatically correspond to what we wish it to be."
