ā¦the hurt, brokenness, alienation and violence haunting young people are not merely sociological, psychological or moral. ā¦the primary problem is spiritual, and ā¦the primary solution is the gospel of Jesus Christ.
ā¦sharing Jesusā message with others is the most impacting thing you will ever, ever do.
ā¦faith sharing is best done through conversations, not presentations!
Eternal life is not a matter of trying, but trusting.
If you could physically see Him, would you be embarrassed to introduce Him to your friends? ā¦The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:7 that we should live āby believing and not by seeing.ā
Admitting that the reason youāre a Christian is that youāre so messed up that you need someone else to rescue you may seem like a simple thing. But your humility will help break down conversational barriersā¦
Soul apologeticsā¦ The process of getting to the āwhy behind the lieā of what someone is believingā¦
ā¦as we say at Dare 2 Share, āAwkward is Awesome!ā
I imagined their lives without Christ, and their afterlives without Christ, and it broke my heart.
ā¦ask questions, listen carefully, admire what you can, admit you need a Savior and customize your conversation to fit each individual.

He poured out his feelings for those who didnāt know Jesus, not just because ofā¦ āthe hell theyāre headed to, but also the hell theyāre going through.ā
Somebody dies every second and thereās nothing I can do to stop that. Those who donāt know Jesus end up in hell. Thereās something I can do about that.
Sharing Jesus canāt be a āwhen you get around to itā thing ā people may not stick around until I āget around to it.ā
āIāve been going to this school for four years and not one of you ever told me about Jesusā¦ If I had cancer and you had the cure to cancer, youād share it with me, right?ā
I canāt keep silent toward a God I love, and who loves meā¦ I need to prayā¦
āā¦Iām still passionate about that stuff [other causes]. But, in the eternal scheme of things, this [the gospel] is way more important.ā
If hell is real, then we should be doing everything we can to keep people out. And if heavenās real, then we should be doing everything we can to get people in. Seems to me that if Jesus is real, then thereās isnāt anything we shouldnāt do to get people into a relationship with him.
āā¦unlike other belief systems, Christianity is the only one that is received through trusting and not trying.ā
āā¦there are no good peopleā¦ if we compare ourselves with others, we may feel like weāre better than someone else, but when we compare ourselves to God, we realize weāre all just dirtbags.ā
āā¦Jesus not only died for my sins so that I could be in heaven someday, but that He gave me a purpose right now. To tell others about his offer to rescue themā¦ā

āā¦itās all about a relationship with Jesusāa relationship thatās continually changing me from the inside out and drawing me deeper and closer to God. Itās a growing process. But the process is never fully or finally complete and because of that, in some ways, Christians always fall short of what Jesus intended. Itās in that sense that every Christian, including me, is a hypocrite.ā
āGod created people because he wanted to relate to them. But a loving relationship can only exist if it includes the choice not to love. So God gave them a choice, and they chose to go against God.ā
āā¦as a Christian, I have an explanation for the problem of evil. The problem of evil is not God. Itās usā¦ā
āBefore you can fully appreciate the good news, you have to fully embrace the bad news. The antidoteā¦ is only good news to those who know theyāve been poisonedā¦ Jesus is only good news to those who recognize that they haveā¦ sin in their souls and are looking for the cure.ā
āā¦faith is trustingā¦ Itās so easy that a child could do it and a āreligiousā person could choke on it.ā
āThe word āreligionā comes from the Latin word that means āto bind back.ā All religions are trying in one way or another to bind themselves back to God through good deeds, sacrifices, baptism, codes, creeds or whatever. All of it falls short. ā¦there is no way to ābind ourselves backā to God through our good deeds, because compared to Godās perfection, our good deeds are like filthy ragsā¦ Christianityā¦ is realizing that God bound himself to humanity through his Son Jesus Christā¦ And Jesus offers to unbind us forever from the penalty of sinā¦ā
āā¦the gift of forgiveness, of everlasting eternal lifeā¦ is not achieved by our good deeds, but received through faith. Itās not a matter of trying, but trusting.ā
āā¦being open-minded means we must entertain the logically possibility that the only way to heaven could be through Jesus and Jesus alone.ā
āIt may seem like Jesus is just a truth for me to lean on. Heās notā¦ heās my stretcher.ā
āAll those facts and stuff give me mental confidence that my Christian faith is on firm footing, but itās Jesus who meets the deepest needs of my soul. It was Jesus who convinced me he was realānot human arguments.ā

Greg Stier: Awaken the Church's Sleeping Giant ā Teenagers!
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Admiral Yamamoto, leader of the Japanese forces, was asked about how he felt. His answer was stark,Ā "I am fearful that all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with terrible resolve."Ā It is time to awaken the sleeping giant in the church (called "teenagers") and fill them with holy resolve. But, with so many age demographics in the typical church, why should we focus on reaching teenagers? 1. God has a track record of choosing teenagers to accomplish great spiritual feats. From Joseph, to Timothy, to Esther (who won a beauty contest then saved a nation), God has used young people in big ways to do even bigger things. In 1 Samuel 16 when the prophet Samuel goes to the house of Jesse, it's not the strapping, strutting older brothers of the house that God chooses to be king. It's the underage runt of the litter that got annointed as the future leader of Israel. One chapter later, this kid named David, who was delivering cheese and crackers to his older brothers in the war, got ticked off that a nine foot giant was talking smack against the God of Israel. His anger left an impression on Goliath ... a deep one. But its not just in the Old Testament that God demonstrates his predisposition to choose and use teenagers. For the most part Jesus mostly picked teenagers to be his disciples. In Matthew 17, when Jesus, Peter and the disciples go into Capernaum, only Peter and Jesus pay the temple tax (although all of the disciples are there!) According to Exodus 30:14 the temple tax was only applicaple to those twenty years old and older. If I'm reading that right, that means that Jesus was a youth leader with only one adult sponsor ... and one really rotten kid. And God used this "youth group" to reach the world! He can use yours to do the same! 2. God receives glory when the "foolish things of the world" confound the wise. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 makes this crystal clear, "Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised thingsāand the things that are notāto nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him." If this passage is not a case for working with teenagers I don't know what is. Teenagers are foolish, goofy and hyper. I love it! God loves it! He wants to use them as twitchy revolutionaries to change the course of nations and to launch a global awakening of Biblical proportions just like his Son did 2,000 years ago! Last week we had hundreds of teenagers at our ChicagoĀ Lead THE Cause. It was outstanding! Not only were these teens trained and equipped in intercessory prayer and evangelism, they were unleashed to do it! These teenagers braved the elements to reach the people of Chicago with the Gospel in exciting and love-drenched (and rain drenched) ways. God did a mighty work. The same thing is happening this week in Austin, Texas. God is raising up an army of underestimated "foolish things"Ā to confound the wise and advance his kingdom in unprecedented ways!
