What if someone rejects a tract?

Q: What should my response be when someone out right rejects a Gospel tract?   Many that have say “If this about God or Jesus, I don’t want it.” A: If you're interested in having conversations, that's a great opening! THEM: Is that about Jesus? I don't want it!  YOU: Actually, it is. I'll save it for the next person, but I'm curious, why don't you want something to help you think about the importance of Jesus?  Listen to them and that may open the door for you to share the Gospel. If they refuse to open up though, wish them well and move on. Do try to probe. It may open doors to talk. Have ready some answers ready to top 5 expected rejection reasons the person has about religion or Christianity, or Jesus, and you might be able to chat & swing to the Gospel. Put the focus on Jesus not the people who claim to be his followers or religions that claim to be Christian. Use if questions like If God is real or if Jesus is God and if he went to great expense and le...

Dog Evangelism

There are many ways you can find to share the gospel with people.  DOG MAGNET If you have a dig you will find many people approach you.

Have tracts on you to share even in short convos.  *Be cautious and use situational awareness for safety.  DOG LOVERS If you have a tract and organic treat in zipbags, you can hand them out and start conversations with folk in varied places.  *Be wise and discerning and consider safety and gender when doing this.

How do we leave someone after a gospel convo?

Q: What is your evangelism routine after evangelizing to a new person?  What is a good practice to do before we move on to the next person? A: After the convo you can give the " will think about it " person something free like Scientific facts in the Bible or Why Christianity tract if you didn't give a tract. Then leave them with God.  If they say they realize they were a false convert  & got saved today, then they have been in church before and likely have a Bible. Direct them to a biblical church nearby [that you have on a list in the area you are evangelizing and in that county]. If they don't have a Bible you can give them this  https://livingwaters.com/store/books/bibles/the-bibles-four-gospels/ probably avail on Amazon if out of stock.

If they don't or have a catholic or cult version or kjv, offer them 1. the book ...

Help reaching Jewish bf

Q: I'm looking for guidance for my two-year relationship with my boyfriend, who is an Israelite. I'm a Christian. Our discussions about the Bible often lead to disagreements, as he corrects me based on his beliefs. I am open to correction always but only if it is in God's living word. We recently had a conversation about Mary and Joseph's relationship and Jesus' conception it highlighted our differences. He believes in a physical relationship between Mary and Joseph. Which led to Jesus birth. But i believe if Joseph knows it got mary pregnant he wouldn't have reacted the way he did before the angel came to him. It shows that Joseph had no idea how Mary got pregnant and assumed it was by another man at first. But because of his strong faith in God he believed the angel. He also believes that salvation is race-dependent. But Jesus says many times in the Bible that he has come for the poor, misled and those who refuse to know him. And to give them salvation too...

Reaching Catholics for Christ

Q: My best friend says she’s catholic but tells me things I say or Christian music I listen to is “cringe or annoying”, yet says she loves GOD. I can’t tell which one it is and am not sure what to say to her next time she says that.  i’ve mentioned bible study with her a couple times but she was not interested.  A: Catholics who follow the teachings of RCC are idolators and are not saved. All unsaved people are idolators as they do not embrace nor follow the true God revealed in Scripture.  We are not to be friends with those who are not saved, so def not bffs with them. You need to find friends among the born again brethren in your Church. But can reach out to share the Gospel with the lost around you.  Do soak your pre conversations and post convos (with that person) in prayer with God.  For witnessing to Catholics... with Catholics you simply need to focus on the Gospel. Until they understand and agree with it they won't be transformed by it; born again, and ...

Reaching Catholic mom

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...
