Freedom to Go 'n Grow Together in Christ
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
Ephesians 6:10-18 (ESV)
15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.
1 Peter 3:15-16 (ESV)
24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,
2 Timothy 2:24-25 (ESV)
Christian Apologetics - Defending the Faith
Always Be Ready. Apologetics ministry. Lots of good info, especially on how to answer questions from skeptics.

Apologist. Links to all sorts of resources.
Ark Encounter. A different kind of defense of the faith! Consider donating. I have visited and thought it was great.
Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry.

Institute for Creation Research. Creation - where it all begins.
Ligonier Ministries. Founded by RC Sproul.
OCCA - Oxford Center for Christian Apologetics. They provide speakers and training, but scroll down for plenty of resources.
Reasons to Believe. Where Science and Faith Converge. RTB's mission is to spread the Christian Gospel by demonstrating that sound reason and scientific research—including the very latest discoveries—consistently support, rather than erode, confidence in the truth of the Bible and faith in the personal, transcendent God revealed in both Scripture and nature.
Stand to Reason. Stand to Reason trains Christians to think more clearly about their faith and to make an even-handed, incisive, yet gracious defense for classical Christianity and classical Christian values in the public square.
Watchman Fellowship. Do not confuse with Jehovah's Witness Watchtower. This site includes a lot of detailed info about various cults and other religions, including JWs.
