Sent By God: Evolution might be a good place to begin your witness to your friend who claims not to believe in God but who you suspect believes in evolution.. For a good, general background on evolution from a Christian perspective, try this web site: icr.org .... and a specific article that you might casually mention to your friend can be found at this URL: http://www.icr.org/pubs/imp/imp-111.htm ..... This will lead you to an article called "The Splendid Faith of the Evolutionist" in which its author, Dr. Henry Morris, explores the idea that it requires considerably more faith to believe the message of evolution than it does to believe in God and the Bible. I pray that your ministry to your friend will bear much fruit. --Hank | ||||||

It may well be that a person can be won to the Lord by philosophical argumentation. Some of our brothers (Josh McDowell, et al.) seem to specialize in that approach. But I think there is something to be said for using the pure word of God. We can trust in the power of the word, I think, and use it. It is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. It penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4). I heard a story once, of an atheist who turned to the Lord as he was presented with a single sentence from Scripture. He had said, “I don’t believe in God”. His friend replied, “The fool hath said in his heart, ‘There is no God’”. That word, from Psalm 14, touched that man and turned him around. I heard a preacher say that he himself had been won to the Lord by a single phrase: “that Jesus Christ is Lord”. That word, from Philippians 2, gnawed at him night and day, until he confessed it, and claimed Jesus as his Savior. I am not sure what happens when a person is convinced by reason. But when we “receive with meekness the engrafted word”, it is able to save our souls. |
