#4 – How to Talk about God – offer donuts!

Hi,

We’ve covered a LOT of ground so far. How are you doing? Have you been able to try a couple of things?

Today’s email is easy and fun. Won’t require much mental work. Whew.

This will give you a way to help bring the gospel to your friends on Facebook, but in somewhat of a passive way.

First, I’ve got to share with you a wacky illustration from a friend of mine. You will never forget this.

Brace yourself.

My friend said, you need to realize that when we are talking to people about Jesus, we are talking to people who are spiritually “dead.”

Ephesians 2:1 says,

“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world…”

Ephesians 2:4 continues…

“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ…”

So, we are talking with people who are spiritually dead, and only God can make them come alive.

My friend said…

“It’s like us walking into a morgue, with dead bodies laying there. And we come in with Dunkin’ Donuts. And we lay a Dunkin’ Donut next to each head of each corpse. (gross, I know)

Can we make them come alive and eat that donut? No.

Only God can make them come alive. He is the one who opens their eyes, speaks to their hearts, and draws them to himself.

Our job? Offer some donuts.”

Today, I’m going to show you how you can do this using EveryStudent.com.

Every page on the site (whether an article or video) tries to help someone understand who God is or what it might be like to know God.

More than 900 people each day tell us they asked Jesus into their lives, while on EveryStudent.com. It’s a way to offer them a life-giving message.

Here’s how you can offer an article or video from EveryStudent.com, on your favorite social network site…Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Whether it is an article or video (doesn’t matter), just copy the URL address at the top of the page. For example, the article, “Why Is Life So Hard?” the URL address is
https://www.everystudent.com/journeys/why.html

You just copy and paste that URL into Facebook, Twitter, etc. Have at it!

By the way, I just want to add…I am so proud of you for wanting others to know Jesus, and taking the time to do something about it! I just wanted to tell you that.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, here:

Next email…some easy statements you can make on Twitter or in your Facebook profile status.

Proud of you!
