Most importantly, they need to be Christian in what they say and do. It can be tempting to rely on reason and try to sink into debate but the cross is not preached by using the enemy's methods. Our message does not conform to worldly expectations of proof.

It is best for students to be openly and unashamedly Christian and having them ready to simply state their belief and move on, not get embroiled in a contest of wills. Don't seek or initiate confrontation. Let the Holy Spirit be your guide and also let God work in the hearts and minds of others. We do not convert, He does. Satan puffs us up in knowledge. His work is not in others challenging Christianity so much as in trying to get us to fall back on knowledge rather than faith, to look toward our inner resources and not outward to Christ.

Remember, the victory for Satan is always going to be undermining our faith from within, appealing to our nature and reason against God. He will use fears of non-conformity, unpopularity, and will label love as intolerance, this is true. Left to ourselves, we fall easily. But all the badgering in the world cannot sway Jesus. Remain in Christ, let Him be your strength.

Live prayerfully, in the open. Read scripture in sight of others. Be kind, be loving, be polite, be respectful even when others are not. Pray for those who disagree with you that the Lord may work in their lives
