Always Be Ready (ABR) is a Christian apologetics ministry dedicated to equipping Christians with well-researched information on issues that seek to undermine or challenge the truth of Christianity as revealed in the Bible. ABR exists to glorify God by helping the body of Christ to stand strong in the faith and “always be ready” (1 Peter 3:15 ) to give an intelligent, Biblically accurate, and gracious defense of the Christian faith (Jude 3).

ABR has an unwavering commitment to the authority and inerrancy of Bible, the doctrine of the Trinity, the full deity and humanity of Christ, the spiritual lostness of the human race, the substitutionary atonement and bodily resurrection of Christ, salvation by grace alone through faith in Christ alone, and a pretribulational, premillennial, physical return of Christ.
