Ray Comfort shares the gospel with a young man, who says he's an atheist. Ray get's him to ponder eternity and the value of his life. This boy seems to have given up on life because his grandfather passed away, so Ray brings him to the good news of the gospel and pleads for him to repent and trust in the Savior.
Recently my family went to hand out tracts and share the gospel at a local community event. We asked some teens if they would like to be interviewed for our blog site and they said yes. Listen to the conversation about their understanding of goodness and where they believe they will spend eternity.
For anyone interested in finding new ways to share the gospel, this interview for a "blog site" was a good way to start the conversation especially with teens.
Listen to Ray share the Gospel to this 80 year old man.
He believes in a heaven and hell but doesn't know where he'll end up. He generally thinks that he's a good person, but when confronted with the knowledge of sin (the commandments), he realizes that he is indeed headed for eternal punishment. Ray also reminds him that time is short on this earth and that he needs to get right with God.
You can notice that this man becomes extremely uncomfortable and even walks away. But it is also evident that he appreciated Ray's questions, as he says, "your a good man".
We need to realize that "salvation is of the Lord". We have no power to save souls, rather that is what the Holy Spirit does. Many believe that it is important to "close the deal", meaning that they get the person to say "the sinners prayer".
But intead, we should be planting seeds. Which means that we proclaim the wonderful truth of the Gospel and allow the Holy Spirit to bring conviction and ultimately salvation to a person.
When out sharing the gospel, there will be occasions when the person you are witnessing to, just walks away (even before you are done). Should we get frustrated. No! If we have spoken truth from God's Word - then we have successfully planted a seed. We should pray for the person and ask God to move in their life.
Watch this video clip from the Way of the Master. This guys walks away in the middle of the conversation. But you can clearly see that the seeds of conviction have been planted.
This man says that all murderers (Hitler, Jeffrey Dahmer, etc) should have been "taken out". But listen as he realizes, that under God's perfect standards he too is considered a murderer-at-heart. He is guilty, but does he have any hope? - Ken
Watch this clip from Way of the Master Radio (now called Wretched Radio). The girl is not saved and struggling with questions about death and suffering. Recently her father passed away and she is not sure why a "good God" would allow that.
We would recommend that you listen to this online radio program http://www.wretchedradio.com/. It airs live every weekday from 3-5pm but streams all day long.
