As I have been going door to door, I've handed out a lot of tracts and booklets. I've been praying about what other resources to provide people. So I ordered copies of Why Christianity on DVD from Living Waters. When ordered in bulk (10 or more) you can get these for just $2 a each! I've been carrying these with me for the last couple of times out going door to door. Today I was able to give away the first two copies.
The first DVD went to Andrew. He is an agnostic. His dad was a Buddhist and his mom is Roman Catholic. Andrew was not sure if there is enough evidence to believe in God. I talked to him about creation and the evidence that the Bible manuscripts are true. Then I took him to the Law and walked him through the good test. He admitted that he had lied, stolen, blasphemed God and lusted. He agreed that if God exists, then he would go to hell.He said that his motto is "live and let live." And I shared with him that that verse agrees with what the Bible says in John 3:19, "And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, andpeople loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil." I offered him the DVD along with a challenge that he needs to decide what is true and not just what he believes.
Two houses later, I meet Nathan. When I asked him if he believed in God, he said, "I am a Jehovah Witness." Rather than immediately challenging him on who Jesus is, I asked if he would go to heaven and then took him through the Ten Commandments. I reminded him that the command is "to be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect." He admitted to lying and hatred which is murder. When we started to talk about hell, he said, he was busy and needed to go. So I asked if he would watch a DVD and he said he would. So I gave him a copy of Why Christianity too.
I was able to visit 43 other houses. I had 9 other one on one conversations. I gathered four prayer requests. And I collected a whole cart full of food to donate to MetroCrest Social Services.
My Challenge to You
May I challenge you to take the step to go door to door in your neighborhood. Do a food drive. Ask for prayer requests. Then ask if they believe in God. See where the conversation goes and share the Gospel with them. Give them a tract. Or simply leave the tract on the door when they are not home. We never know which will fall on the good soil.
If you live around Dallas, why not come with me sometime soon. Get some hands on experience going door to door, then start doing the same in your neighborhood. If you are not close by, then feel free to contact me, leave a comment or check out the door to door recourses on the Bezeugen web site and this BLOG for guidance on getting started. Once you decide to cover your neighborhood, city or zip code, let me know and I'll add you to the map. May God be glorified as we share the Gospel door to door!

I think the "Why Christianity" video is a great idea. It's well done and very affordable as you mentioned in this post. I'm praying for you, Carl.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen the "Why Christinity" DVD, but I'm sure since it's from Living Waters it is good. I order the "The Big Question" from WretchedRadio.com. They average $1 a piece if you get the pack of 100. You have to get your own paper sleeves...but those are cheap.
