05 Practice What You Preach

1. Why does it take courage to make the transition from natural things to spiritual things? Do you (or would you) find it difficult to bring up the things of God with a stranger? Why -- what do you fear?
2. Do you think that well-written gospel tracts can be a legitimate way of helping the transition into spiritual things? If so, do you use them? If not, why not? How do you bring up the topic of spiritual things?
3. Who do you know in your family, at school, or at work, who isn't saved? Do you care about their salvation? What are you doing to reach them (in addition to praying)?
4. What is a good "inoffensive" question to ask a stranger, to discover his spiritual condition?
5. Explain the world's understanding of the word "good." Now explain God's definition of the word.
6. If you ask someone if he thinks he is a good person, and he says that he is, what can you say next so he sees himself in light of God's standards?
7. What two things should we be trusting in if we have biblically shared the gospel with an unsaved person?
