The sermon today at my church had to do with witnessing to our neighbors—or anyone we would have a chance to talk to. It was good for me, because, over the years I have become sort of lax in this area. I don’t know why. I was thinking that maybe it is because I just haven’t taken the time with people to get in a lot of deep, personal conversations. Or maybe I have become too Christianized, or too proud—if you know what I mean. Anyway, I what to give you a few questions (taken directly from the sermon notes) that every Christian can ask his friends in order to stimulate a spiritual conversation.

• Do you believe people can change?
• What brings you a sense of meaning of purpose?
• Do you think our world is getting better or worse?
• Is there a movie or book series that has meant a lot to you?
• If you won the lottery, what would you do with your free time?
• What is the biggest challenge facing humans?
• Have you ever had a mentor who meant a lot to you?
• What is the best advice you have ever received?

Two Questions for Anyone Who May Have Some Doubts About His or her Salvation

• Have you come to a place in your spiritual life where you can say you know for certain that if you were to die today you would go to heaven?
• Suppose that you were to die today and stand before God and he were to say to you, “Why should I let you into my heaven?” what would you say?

These are good questions, aren’t they? To help you answer them I want to encourage you to look at a couple bible verses. For the first question look at 1 John 5:11-12. As for the second question, that may be a little harder. To help you answer that question you can look at Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, and Ephesians 2:8-9.
