11AFRAID OF LOSING A FRIEND
- If I would die and go to heaven and my friend
would die and go to hell, what kind of friendship
do we have? - If we are not eternal friends, are we really
friends at all? - Mark is the only friend that I have got that is
into this whole God and religion thing. - You are the only friend that I have got that
cares where my soul spends eternity. - When they see and hear the love of Jesus coming
from you, you will have more friends than you
know what to do with!!
12THEY HAVE ALREADY HEARD
- Repetition is very valuable when it comes to
witnessing. - This might be the perfect time for them.
- Phipps, Galleria
13I DONT KNOW HOW TO
- Didnt someone lead you to Jesus??
- Notes we have given you
- Transition with someone Can I ask you an
interesting question? Can I ask you a tough
question? - Go natural to supernatural!!
- Luke 1212 says, For the Holy Spirit will teach
you in that very hour what you ought to say.
14I AM JUST LAZY
How do you think God feels when I say I am lazy,
but multitudes of people die and go to hell
every single day??
As a Christian, what is more important than
seeing your school, your city, your state, your
country, your world coming to the saving
knowledge of Jesus Christ?
15CHARLES SPURGEON
- The saving of souls, if a man has once gained
love to perishing sinners and his blessed Master,
will be an all-absorbing passion to him. It will
so carry him away, that he will almost forget
himself in the saving of others. He will be like
the brave fireman, who cares not for the scorch
or the heat, so that he may rescue the poor
creature on whom true humanity has set his heart.
16CHARLES SPURGEON
- If you never have sleepless hours, if you never
have weeping eyes, if your hearts never swell as
if they would burst, you need not anticipate that
you will be called zealous. You do not know the
beginning of true zeal, for the foundation of
Christian zeal lies in the heart. The heart must
be heavy with grief and yet must beat high with
holy ardor. The heart must be vehement in
desire, panting continually for Gods glory, or
else we shall never attain to anything like the
zeal which God would have us know.
17FRIENDSHIP EVANGELISM
- They can see it in me. 1 John 26 says, Whoever
claims to live in Him(Jesus) must walk as Jesus
did. - Now if they are looking at me, whose life are you
sharing? - Yours or Gods??
- Once you say that you are a Christian, they will
watch everything that you do. - So are you sure that you want to witness by your
actions??
18ROMANS 1013-17
For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall
be saved. How then shall they call on Him in whom
they have not believed? And how shall they
believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And
how shall they hear without a preacher? And how
shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is
written How beautiful are the feet of those
who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad
tidings of good things! But they have not all
obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who
has believed our report? So then faith comes by
hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
19I DONT KNOW ENOUGH
- If it was a prerequisite for us to know enough,
could anyone of us ever share our faith?? - Actually this is the one way that you will learn
the most about your faith! - You are saved and they are lost. Who knows more
in every single conversation??!!!!! - Memorize the New Testament
- Since you are saved, dont you always know enough
to lead someone else to Jesus?
20THEY WONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT
- At the most one person a day doesnt get into a
conversation. - This is a crazy world we live in. Lost people
know that. They are curious to what is going on. - I usually dont talk about this topic, but you
make me feel comfortable talking about it. - There are two things that I dont talk about
with patientsreligion and politics. But since
we have already started!!
21I CANT ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS
- That is a good question, and I dont know the
answer. Would you like to know the answer?? - Yes! What is your email, address, phone
numberThis now allows follow-up and shows that
you care. - Lets answer some of those tough questions that
really arent all that tough!!
22Q
Can you prove that there is a God?
23You have faith, I have reason. What they are
saying is blind faith instead of calculated faith.
A
- Creation
- Design
- Art
- Order
- Romans 120 For since the creation of the world
His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even His
eternal power and Godhead, so that they are
without excuse.
24How do you know that the Bible is true?
Q
25John 1836 Pilate said too Him, What is
truth? John 1717 Your word is truth. II
Timothy 316,17 All Scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness, that the man of God
may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every
good work. II Peter 121 for prophecy never
came by the will of man, but holy men of God
spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
A
26THE BIBLE IS TRUE!
1. BEST SELLING BOOK EVER! 2. WRITTEN BY
WHOM? GOD 3. HISTORICAL 4. ARCHAEOLOGICAL 5.
FULFILLED PROPHECY
27Q
Doesnt Evolution prove the Bible false?

- Probability
- Fossil Record
- Missing Links
- Why none today??
1 Corinthians 1539 All flesh is not the same
flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men,
another flesh of beasts, another of fish, and
another of birds. Genesis 125 And God made
the beast of the earth according to its kind,
cattle according to its kind, and everything that
creeps on the earth according to its kind. And
God saw that it was good.
29Q
How can Jesus be the only way to God? Arent
there many paths to heaven?
30Oprah Winfreys belief
A
John 146 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the
truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through Me. Acts 412 Nor is there
salvation in any other, for there is no other
name under heaven given among men by which we
must be saved. Isaiah 4522 Look to Me, and
be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am
God, and there is no other. 1 Timothy 25 For
there is one God and one Mediator between God and
men, the Man Christ Jesus.
31Q
How did Cain get his wife?
32A
He married a distant relative.
33I dont believe in Hell, so there cant be one.
Q
34A
It doesnt matter what you believe, it matters
what is true.
Unbelief doesnt change reality.
Remind them to always search for truth, and not
for something to believe in.
35Q
Doesnt the bible say that it is reincarnation
when we die?
36A
Hebrews 927 And as it is appointed for men to
die once, but after this the judgment.
Job 1622 Only a few years will pass, before I
go on the journey of no return.
37Q
Can God create a Rock big enough that even He
cant lift?
38A
NO!!
Remember there are plenty of things God cant do,
but that doesnt mean that He isnt God. It just
means it is outside of His character.
39Q
When I am old, I will become a Christian.
40A
Can you guarantee me that you are going to wake
up tomorrow morning?? 2 Corinthians 62
Behold, now is the accepted time behold, now
is the day of salvation.
41Q
How can there be a God when there is so much evil
and suffering in the world?
42A
Actually when I see all of the evil in the world,
it shows me that there must be an all-loving God
waiting on us when we walk out of here.
Remember that love by definition demands a choice.
43What about the person in Africa that has never
heard the gospel? Is he condemned to hell?
Q
44A
If you are that concerned about the people in
Africa, why dont you commit your heart to Jesus
and go reach the people in Africa?
Titus 211 For the grace of God that brings
salvation has appeared to all men.
God is a righteous and fair judge.
Bring the question right back to them.
45There are so many religions, so how do I know
which one is the right one?
Q
46Religion is man striving to get right with God by
his own effort. In the east they lay on beds of
nails, and in the west we sit on hard pews! We
try to bribe God with our works.
A
Ephesians 28-10 For by grace you have been
saved through faith, and that not of yourselves
it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone
should boast. For we are His workmanship, created
in Christ Jesus for good works, which God
prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
RESURRECTION!!
47CHARLES SPURGEON
Do you want arguments for soul winning?
Look up to heaven, and ask yourself how sinners
can ever reach those harps of gold and learn that
everlasting song, unless they have someone to
tell them of Jesus, who is mighty to save. But
the best arguments of all is to be found in the
wounds of Jesus. You want to honor Him, you
desire to put many crowns upon His head, and this
you can best do by winning souls for Him. These
are the spoils that He covets, these are the
trophies for which He fights, these are the
jewels that shall be His best adornment.
