Way of the Master

1. We are like the moon, reflecting the light of God’s love
2. Be a laborer of the Lord
3. Share your faith effectively and biblically – the way Jesus did
4. Become a fisher of men – you go to the fish, don’t wait for the fish to come to you
5. You want to alarm people because you love them
6. Speak directly to the conscience
7. Circumnavigate the intellect
8. “The routine”
   1. Ever told a lie?
      1. What does that make you?  A liar
   2. Have you ever stolen something?  Even something small?
      1. What does that make you?  A thief.
      2. The value doesn’t make any difference.
   3. Jesus said if we look at a woman and lust after her, we’ve committed adultery with her in our heart.  Have you ever looked with lust?
   4. Have you ever used God’s name in vain?
      1. That’s called blasphemy – you’ve taken the name of the creator who has given you life and used it as a curse word.
   5. So, by your own admission you’re a [lying], [thieving], [blaspheming] [adulterer at heart]
   6. So, when you die, if God were to judge you by the standards of the ten commandments, would you be innocent or guilty?
   7. Do you think you’d go to heaven or hell?
      1. Do you think God should let liars and thieves and murderers and adulterers into heaven?
      2. [headed for hell] Does that concern you?
      3. There’s nothing more valuable than your life, is there?
   8. [Once convicted of the law]
   9. Do you know what God has done for you to save you from Hell?
      1. Sent His son to die on the cross to pay the fine for your sins, your violations of God’s law.  He sacrificed His own son so that you and I could be forgiven.
      2. There’s no strings attached.  There’s nothing you can even do to earn it.
   10. Do you know what you need to do to accept this gift?
       1. Open your heart to Him, repent from your sins, and trust in Christ like you would trust in a parachute.  Believing in a parachute doesn’t help.  You need to put it on in order for it to be able to save your life.  And that’s exactly what you need to do with Jesus.  Repent – turn from your sins once and for all – and put your faith in Jesus.
   11. People are really lost… listen to their ridiculous or self-serving answers
   12. Christianity doesn’t lead to a “wonderful” life”.  In fact, the Bible says that life would be harder
   13. I can do all things in Christ, who strengthens me
   14. The righteous are as bold as a lion
   15. Just be friendly – say hello to strangers.  Then swing to the things of God (tracts can be good) – “Do you have a Christian background?”
   16. The person’s eternal welfare is at stake
   17. What Did Jesus Do
       1. W – Would you consider yourself to be a good person?
       2. D – Do you think you’ve kept the ten commandments?
          1. Most every man will proclaim his own goodness
       3. J – If God were to judge you by the ten commandments, would you be innocent or guilty
          \
          1. If they say “well, my God would never judge me like that”, tell them that they are now breaking the 2nd of the Ten Commandments.  You should not make a God to suit yourself, or to suit your sins – that’s called idolatry, which is what I also did before I was a Christian.
          2. If they say they’re innocent, remind them that they’ve just admitted to being a …  Obviously you’d be guilty, and the Bible says you’d be guilty.  Be reasonable and be honest.
       4. D – Destiny.  Would you go to heaven or hell?  Does that concern you?
          1. If yes – Yeah, it should terrify you.  Hell for eternity?  Do you know what God did so you wouldn’t have to go to Hell?  He sent his son to die on the cross to pay for your sins – that’s how much He loves you.  You broke God’s law, and Jesus paid your fine.  Do you know what you’ve got to do?  You’ve got to repent – turn from your sins – and put your trust in Jesus Christ, like you trust a parachute.  The moment you do that, God will forgive every sin you’ve ever committed and grant you everlasting life.
          2. If no – What would you think of a judge who let someone off the hook who’s guilty for murder, but it’s been a while and he’s a better person now?  The judge should bring him to justice.  If God is good, He must bring sinners to justice.  You’re in big trouble. That should greatly concern you.
       5. If someone keeps justifying himself, bring him back to the Law.  Stop covering your tracks, you’ve already admitted to breaking God’s holy Law.  If there is a day of judgment for that, and the punishment is Hell, doesn’t that concern you?
       6. Plead with them.  I don’t want you to go to Hell.  God’s offering you His forgiveness, but it’s on the condition that you humble yourself and be honest about your sin.
       7. Repent and trust Christ.
       8. Start with a state of compassion
