Hi Friend,
I think sometimes we Christians can come off really harsh with the gospel. We are condemning and condescending. We’re more concerned with winning the argument than winning the soul.
But what I often say is that if you want to win some, you have to be winsome.
Take, for example, my friend Lee Strobel. Back in the ’80s, Lee’s wife, Leslie, became a Christian and when Lee found out, he was furious. But over time, as God started to change Leslie’s values and her character, Lee was attracted to that and was drawn toward faith.
Of course, being a staunch atheist and a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, Lee set out to debunk the resurrection of Christ so that he could prove to Leslie that she was being misled. But by applying his investigative skills and trying to disprove the gospel, he instead found that it was true, and as a result, he came to faith in Jesus Christ.
His story and his findings are found in the popular book The Case for Christ, which has become a worldwide bestseller. But last year they made it into a film, and I have to say, it is fantastic. Such a high quality film with a strong Christian message, you have to see it and share it.
That’s why we’re making the DVD available to anyone who gives a donation to Harvest Ministries this month.
Talk about a winsome way to share the gospel. You can give a copy to someone who is skeptical about the claims of Jesus and just ask them to watch it—and then follow up with a conversation about what they think of it. It’s a compelling and powerful evangelistic tool and many all over the globe have come to faith as a result of watching it.
I challenge you to build a bridge by giving, lending, or watching The Case for Christ with a friend, neighbor, or family member. We’ll send it to you for your gift to Harvest today. You can give here:
You’re going to love this high-caliber movie. And your gift will be used to reach people with the engaging and captivating winsome message of the gospel.
Thanks for all you do,
Greg
