Q: Speaking to a loved one in a  works based religion I’m in a conflicting situation. My mom seems to think the only way to heaven is by faith but also by works. In her eyes, an individual has to get baptized, basically walk and talk like a Christian, have faith in God, and confess their sins to a priest. I don’t believe that to be true as I’ve been doing my own Bible studying and getting a better understanding of what it means to be a Christian and saved. Everytime we talk about this it’s just us budding heads and ends up in us getting in an argument. Don’t get me wrong I love and respect my mother but I can’t seem to get to her with it. She’s very closed minded when it comes to this topic especially. I guess this is all to ask… How do I approach this? A: Yeah a hard topic when you are trying to reach someone in a works based religion with the truth of Scripture. I would ask her to watch this needGod.com and Then see if she understands and agrees. And if she wants to be mad...

Q:  My son (11) was in tears tonight over his two new "unsaved" friends. He’s been giving them gospel for like three weeks and they haven’t repented yet ❤️😂.  🙏Please pray for the salvation of his friends, and patience for my sweet son! A: Tell him to  Keep praying, living out Christian life and keep sharing! We are only to plant the seeds - God does the harvesting! Idea: Have him try using a video clip. He can text it and get their thoughts.  "I appreciated your time the other day, and your honesty. I am wondering if this [short vid clip] helps it make more sense? Let me know. needGod.com. Happy to answer questions (or pray with you) anytime🙂." Also make sure he has resources to answer questions (until he has them memorized [and with Scripture]).  Helpful Resources Big Resource http://longertweets.blogspot.com/2023/07/resources-believers-pg-6.html Quick answers GotQuestions.org Quick videos http://longertweets.blogspot.com/2022/08/ccc-investigate.html Bonus ...

Mormon Questions Q: I know someone who ran into some Mormons the other evening, and they posed an interesting question many of us Christians need to be prepared to respond to. Her report: Noting the cultists always want to chat and ask if you go to church etc. The believer is usually friendly and talk about their own commitment to Christ when engaging cultists. After a short chat, as they left one turned back [trying to lure her] and said, “oh just real quick, if you had one favorite name for Jesus what would it be? Other than Savior/Redeemer?” She said it was so odd and felt like a trick. She was trying to search her brain for the reason they would ask this. [She did note she knows Jehovah Witnesses always want to emphasize Jehovah]. What about Mormons? I know they are also trying to get away from the “nickname” of Mormons since 2016. And with a heavy lds presence in her area she is always trying to learn how to engage them. What are your thoughts, and whats the trap here theyr...

As a longtime Baptist I miss the old state evangelism conferences. I lived in Texas when I became a Christian and felt called to preach and the high light of my year was the State Evangelism Conference. It was a great motivation to get out and knock on doors and tell people about Jesus. The preaching was great. Time went by and the preaching seemed to more second to special conferences which were not well attended. There are some state conventions with annual evangelism conference in our present time, but none in my state. Professions of Faith and Baptisms are fewer now than in the 1950's. Fewer churches have revival meetings. Both the old evangelism conferences and the local church revival meeting were great motivators for getting out and doing evangelism. NAMB used to promote and help support the state evangelism conferences but their plan has changed. A: I have never in my 36 years as a believer ever heard of Evangelism Conferences in SBC denomination. Had no idea they eve...

I'll share a conversation I had in a supposed Christian forum online. You have to see forumns, pages, groups and online places in Christian spaces as a mission field and not as Christian spaces. Just like the Church where Christ will seperate those wicked ones who were hidding among us in church, and all those in false churches and cults masqurading as Christian for centuries. We need to use discernment and try to always include a gospel link in our posts so others can see it and go check it out. In this conversation the person appeared Christian until the end note . They outted themselves. But notice how I guided the convo not really focused on her boss but it was wisely written to her so that by the time she gets to the end challenge she might be led by God to examine her religion. This is how we can lovingly lead people with knowledge and reason towards truth and point them to the gospel & resources.  I added the intro to the answer after I had written the reply. I conside...

Q: I need advice. All my friends including my boyfriend are not Christian. I really want to talk to them about Jesus Christ but am having this fear in mind that they might not listen to me. Where should I start?  A: Regardless of your relationship status, this can help you reach someone for Christ.  Scripture tells us a few things on this topic. Here are a couple: *God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love and a sound mind.  *The Holy Spirit will help us with what we say. * God's Word never returns void.  *we are to speak to people about the Gospel but do so as one informed, who rightly speaks the truth, and who does so in patience, gentleness and in love.  Are you a new believer? Have you been baptized as a believer yet?  I would start by writing up your testimony. It is best if the gospel is included. Then you have a couple options.  1. Invite them to your baptism where you share your testimony (in water baptismal, before the bap...
