The Bible says we must be prepared to give an account of our faith in the face of questions or opposition (1 Peter 3:15). That responsibility is especially important for parents or others who teach children God’s Word. Yet it can be quite a challenge to give biblical answers to questions younger people, and especially teenagers, ask on many contemporary topics. Our highly diverse society and its widespread use of social media confuse teenagers about sexual ethics, the reality and sovereignty of God, the certainty of heaven, and even issues like mental health and whether it’s okay to get a tattoo. Teens encounter a variety of messages in their daily lives. Many of them contradict God’s Word.

Let them flow in endless praise,
Let them flow in endless praise.

Afraid for his life, David ran from King Saul into Philistine territory, where he was recognized by the king of Gath’s servants. In a deliberate act of faith, David feigned insanity and trusted God with the outcome. His escape, explains Alistair Begg, rested not in his own ingenuity but in the Lord’s deliverance—the same deliverance that is available to all who flee to God for refuge.

We know what we know about God only because He has chosen to reveal it to us—and the primary means of this revelation is the Bible. Scripture accomplishes its work in our lives as we trust in its authority as the inspired Word of God.
