James and I are taking an awesome class at church about how to witness without fear. Christians can be so afraid to witness to the lost, whether it be a fear of rejection, a fear of not knowing what to say, or being ridiculed. Anyway, tonight, we learned a really cool way to bring up the subject with someone. You just ask 5 simple questions and let the person answer. Don't interrupt them or tell them what you think. Just listen.
Question 1: Do you have any kind of spiritual beliefs?
Question 2: To you, who is Jesus?
Question 3: Do you believe there are a heaven and a hell?
Question 4: If you died right now, where would you go?
Question 5: If what you believe were not true, would you want to know it?
If the person answers yes to #5, then go into sharing scripture, having the person read out loud. Then, watch what happens! And remember, if the person does not surrender their lives to God after you witnessed to them, they did not reject you, they rejected Jesus. This is a very non-confrontational way to witness that is very natural. Try it sometime this week!
It's really cool to hear what you are learning in the class...we had thought about taking it...but kinda got side tracked with having a baby and all! Keep sharing!
