Change the Question
OK. I have been in the ministry for about 14 years now. I have had the honor of leading a lot of people to the Lord. Nearly everyone of them when we started talking said that they were a Christian…
Therefore, stop asking this question, “Are you a Christian?” 95% of America would say that they are a Christian. Almsot like it is synonomous with being an American. Many can’t even tell you what one is and they claim to be one!
Start asking a question like this, “Tell me about your faith journey or tell me about your spiritual life.” The answer to that question will reveal if they are a born again follower of Jesus.
Try it and don’t forget to ask those people in the church either! They might not know what a Christian is either.
