Did you know it is possible to present the Gospel by simply asking questions?

Randy Newman, in his book Questioning Evangelism, encourages us to pursue a more open dialogue with those who are seeking Truth. Consider some of the following:

“So, it sounds like you don’t believe in God? I’m interested in hearing your story and understanding why you believe what you do. Would you mind telling me?”

“How do you decide what is right and wrong?”

“How about you? You’ve heard of Jesus. What do you think about Him?”

And then, if a listener seems inquisitive, it might be appropriate to ask, “Are you interested in some verses I read in the Bible that seem to fit with our discussion?”

Basically, you can share your faith and still listen with openness and respect. God doesn’t ask us to try to read another person’s mind, nor does He urge us to push people into a decision. He just asks us to share and let the Holy Spirit draw them to Christ.

Questioning and Listening- How does that help someone make a decision?

As Newman aptly points out, if we look at what Jesus did, He asked pointed questions to those who were truly seeking. When Nicodemus asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus replied, “Why do you call me good?” And to the disciples who were arguing over Jesus’ role in society, He asked, “Who do you say that I am?” Jesus knew the importance of listening to people and letting them talk through their struggles.

“Take the leap of doubt to discover your reasons for faith,” says Tim Keller of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. Whether you currently believe or you struggle with skepticism, doubts can be a divine invitation to grow your faith, deepen your relationship with God, and to mature into a person of substance.

With a 30-year ministry in the heart of Manhattan, Tim knows how to communicate the Gospel to this culture of intellect, and he does so with quiet dignity and respect for both sides, often acknowledging the personal, intellectual, social, and spiritual reasons people choose to think the way they do.

So, to everyone, Tim recommends we look at doubt in a radically new way. If believers go through life too busy or too apathetic to grapple with tough questions, where will we find ourselves when tragedy strikes? Or how can we truly befriend those struggling with doubt if we’ve never considered their points? And skeptics are challenged as well. Is there some bit of faith in something embedded in the arguments against God? Maybe it’s true that even our doubts are a leap of faith, because we are brave enough to consider the merits of our mostly deeply held convictions.
