The question is not, "Do you want to go to heaven?" The question is, "Do you want God?"
Instead of telling them God has a wonderful plan for their life - tell them who God is.
The evidence that a person has truly opened their life to Christ is continued fellowship with Christ.
Salvation is a work of God to show His glory. That’s why He’s not going to let it fail.
If you give them a God made in their own image, I guarantee they'll accept Him. But He won't be the God who saves.
The question is not, "Do you know you are a sinner?" the question is this, "As you have heard me preach the Gospel, has God so worked in your life that the sin you once loved you now hate?"
Tell them that everything in their life is going to have to bend to His will. Repent and believe.
You go up to the devil and ask if he knows he's a sinner and he'll say, "Well, yes I am! And a mighty fine one at that!"
A man is saved only by faith ... only by faith.
The problem is not liberal politicians, its evangelical preachers.
When someone comes along later and tries to preach the Gospel to them because they're living in the world, they won't listen.
"But I got saved that way!" No, you got saved in spite of that way not because of that way.
It [salvation] is not this flu shot mentality of an invitation of the Gospel.
