How to Tell the Truth: The Story of How God Saved Me to Win Hearts--Not Just Arguments

On that day the goosebumps on our skin will read the braille of glory in God's presence. Slander and persecution will remember our names no more, and we will sing with our whole bodies a right now praise because we once gave the truth to a dying world.

Will my love for Jesus still be as loud when I’m surrounded by people who hate him?

You see, the most dangerous time to follow Jesus was not when he was alive; it was after he had been crucified, after he was considered a curse and a criminal, a blasphemer and a false prophet.

The definition of a coward is one who lacks courage to endure dangerous or unpleasant things—things like a cross and the weight of carrying one.

Using the gifts and personality God has given you, through your fears and discouragement, be bold in how you tell the truth to others.

Let us ask God to kill our pride and all the other sin inside us that might be in the way of the gospel. We don't ever want our personal conduct or behavior to be the reason someone rejects the gospel.

When we're more invested in politics than we are in people--when someone shares their story--we won't hear a testimony, but a position. We won't hear a cry, but a stance.

I believe in the last days, God will use His people to set the most rebellious souls free. If we remain faithful with God's truth, He will use us to soften the most hardened hearts. Angry fists will bloom into open palms of praise when we speak.

The way we do apologetics looks different when we are motivated not by our desire to conquer the other person, but by our genuine love and compassion, and by our desire to see people discover God's lifegiving truth.

Don't let your pride murder your message.
