A Moment With Pastor Fred
Many Christians suffer with unnecessary fears about sharing their faith. Much of the time the biggest problem is simply moving a conversation from small talk to “big” talk, the biggest subject of all—the Gospel. A friend sent me an article by Midwestern Baptist Seminary with a list of questions that can help us.
Questions to Ask to Turn a Conversation Toward the Gospel
- When you die, if God says to you, “Why should I let you into heaven?” – what would you say? Are you interested in what the Bible says about your answer?
- If you were to die tonight, where do you think you would spend eternity? Why? Are you interested in what the Bible says about this?
- Do you think much about spiritual things?
- How is God involved in your life?
- How important is your faith to you?
- What has been your most meaningful spiritual experience?
- Do you find that your religious heritage answers your questions about life?
- Do you have any kind of spiritual beliefs? If what you believe were not true, would you want to know it? Well, the Bible says . . .
- To you, who is Jesus?
- I often like to pray for people I meet; how can I pray for you?
