· In a discussion you mention some principles taught in the Bible. How would you respond if your friend responds, “That’s if you take the Bible literally. But you can’t trust something that was written thousands of years ago by a bunch of men.” How would your past experience of faith help you reply to her?
· In verse 14, Paul encourages Timothy to defend against evil imposters because he has been “convinced” about what he was taught. To be convinced means, “To be sure about because of its reliability.” To what degree are you convinced?
· Talk to some trusted friends and discuss what you can do to become more convinced of the things God has revealed in His Word.
Ben's thoughts:
I have certainly seen God work in my life to many things that could only be the result of answered prayer. Some of the times I've seen God work were actually during times of sharing faith with unbelievers. My mom was a prayer partner of mine when I used to go out sharing the Gospel about 12-14 years ago. During that time, I could tell when God was being actively prayed to by my mom. After the sessions, I would say "Mom, you were (or weren't) praying today" and she would confirm my answer almost every time. When she was praying, we saw amazing results.
