How to Bring Someone to Christ through Simple Questions

Twenty years ago my life changed in a way I never thought possible. While out on one of my construction job sites, a good friend of mine, David Riley, came to visit with an arsenal of Bible questions for me. And much to my surprise, I knew none of the answers. That is when I began to look to my spiritual leaders, such as preachers and church members from my community. After collecting what answers I received and opinions of what the Bible taught, I shot them back at David.

Shockingly, David never told me what HE thought or HE believed, but rather opened up the Lord’s word and let me read for myself. Being a young stubborn man, I argued with my dear friend about what I believed and what others had taught me to believe—and that is when it clicked. Simply, David reminded me that not once had he told me the answer, or spoke it in his own words, but let God tell me the answer in black and white. It hit me like a ton of bricks. There was nothing I could argue, because every question was answered directly from the Bible.

Since I became a Christian on March 28, 1998, every day I strive to teach the Gospel through the teachings of the Bible. When it is plain as day, there is no room for opinions or “I believe.” We are all called to teach, therefore I hope this book can be used as a tool in your quest to find Jesus Christ and the Lord’s Church.
