36 Seconds Dead to Sin but Alive in Christ

Dead to Sin Alive in Christ

36 Seconds Dead to Sin

Jeremy was 36 seconds dead. Heroin kills. But first responders gave him an adrenaline shot to the heart. And they gave him six shots of Narcan. Jeremy was dead to sin but is alive in Christ. See the one minute video below.

Jeremy and I met at the bus station in Cincinnati. He grew up in Covington, Kentucky and was headed back to Kentucky. And he was looking forward to a fresh start in life.

It is no secret that Northern Kentucky has a heroin problem. It has been well chronicled: a heroin epidemic.

Jeremy was declared dead due to a heroin overdose. But Jeremy was also dead to God because of his sin (Ephesians 2:1). 

Alive in Christ

Our reaction when anyone claims to be born again is “Halellujah. We’ll see.” Time will tell. But Jeremy claims he is alive again through repentance and faith in Christ. And all this is from God because Jeremy claims he has been granted the gift of repentance and faith.

So what is the best evidence that Jeremy is alive in Christ? First, he states in the video that he has repented and put his faith in Christ. Let’s call this a public confession. And Jeremy understands the biblical doctrine of justification. He claims to have applied it to his heart. So Jeremy claims internal confirmation of saving faith. Finally, Jeremy longs to know the word of God which he carries with him. 1 Peter 2:2 says: Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk. 

We can’t know for sure if Jeremy is saved. But there is internal and external evidence that confirms his claim to be alive in Christ.

Join me in praising God. Because God is willing to save men like Jeremy (and you and me) who are dead in our sins. Jeremy knows he was dead for 36 seconds. But now he testifies that he is alive in Christ.

How About You?

How about you? If you died today, would you go to heaven? Take the Good Person Test and find out.

Here are more biblical evangelism interviews outside the bus station.

Finally, help yourself to our Top Three Evangelism Questions. We use two of them in the video.

And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him. Colossians 2:13

Jeremy was 36 seconds dead but alive in Christ.

Biblical Evangelism in Cincinnati Bus Station

by Leave a Comment

We do biblical evangelism in Cincinnati. So we share the law and gospel with everyone. And the bus station is one of our favorite evangelism “fishing holes”. Over the years we have found that this is a great place to share your faith.

Many bus travelers are hungry so we try to bring a few snacks. And we pass out gospel tracts and the Gospel of John booklets.

Don’t worry about the fact that you don’t know anyone. We use a variety of approaches to open a conversation with a complete stranger.

Here are a few videos to give you a feel for the environment. And you will also be able to pick up our approach to biblical evangelism.

If you want to join us in doing biblical evangelism in Cincinnati, these posts may help.

Here are our Top Three Evangelism Questions. And the Good Person Test.

How to Evangelize to Strangers with Lie Detector

by Leave a Comment

Evangelize Cincinnati is introducing a new 10 Commandments Lie Detector Kit. It will help you evangelize to strangers. See the four-minute video.

How To Evangelize to Strangers with a New Lie Detector Kit:

  1. First you ask, “Are you a “Good Person”? They will probably say, “Yes”.
  2. Then you ask, “Have you kept the 10 Commandments?” They will most likely say, “I don’t know” or, “I think so.”
  3. Next you introduce the 10 Commandments Lie Detector Kit. And invite them to hold it.
  4. Then ask them if they have ever lied, stolen, disobeyed their parents, etc. The new 10 Commandments lie detector kit either:
    • Affirms with a pleasant audible tone or
    • Denies with a buzzer that the person has kept the Ten Commandments.

It appears to be scientifically calibrated. It works with a fake smartphone app. And it has a remote control so you control the lie detector responses. This new 10 Commandment lie detector kit helps you evangelize to strangers and have a good time doing it.

 

What are the Best Practices for Using the Lie detector?

First, you introduce the lie detector phone app which shows apparent voice calibration. This is part of the phony technology behind lie detection.

Then you pretend to calibrate the lie detector by asking a few baseline questions. For example, is your first name Brett? Is it true that you live in Ohio?

Finally, you ask the Good Person test questions: Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen anything? etc. The lie detector kit provides audible or tactile feedback to strengthen your case.

 

Free Instructions to Make the Lie Detector

Do you affirm the Triune God of the Bible? Do you affirm the biblical gospel of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior? If so, Contact Us and request the full instructions. You can put it together at home. And you can have some fun evangelizing to strangers.

Note: The instructions are available at no charge. But it will cost you around $35 to duplicate our Ten Commandments Lie Detector kit. You can order all the components at Amazon.

How to Share the Gospel Using Simple Math

by Leave a Comment

You can share the gospel using any three-digit number. Video below.

Every Three-Digit Number Points to 1089

Here’s the scenario: you ask someone for a random three-digit number. And then you do some processing of their number using simple math. It turns out that the random number you processed ends up at 1089. So you ask them to open the Bible which they have been holding. And they flip to the bookmark which you have previously placed at Romans 10:8-9. Bottom line: They are amazed that the random number they picked pointed to the gospel the whole time. See the video demonstration above.

Romans 10:8-9 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is the word of faith that we proclaim): because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

First You Do the Math

Process Steps Example #1 Example #2 Example #3
Hand them Your Bible with
Romans 10:8-9 Bookmarked		      
They Pick a Number 621 427 321
You Reverse it 126 724 123
Subtract (Big-Smaller) 495 297 198
Reverse the New Number 594 792 891
Total (Add last 2 Numbers) 1089 1089 1089

Then You Share the Gospel

  1. Ask the person to open the Bible to the bookmarked page. And they are amazed because you have bookmarked Romans 10:8-9. Remember, they have been holding your Bible. And the bookmark has been pointing them to their number the whole time.
  2. Then ask them to read the highlighted passage: Romans 10:8-9
  3. Finally, ask them about the passage.
    1. Do you know what that it means to be saved?
    2. Do you know the gospel of Jesus Christ?
    3. Have you repented and put your faith in Christ alone?

Where can you share the gospel using simple math?

  • One-to-one Evangelism: Show it on a sheet of paper or the back of an envelope. And it will always open the door to the gospel.
  • Group Evangelism: Show it on a whiteboard and a group will gather as you share the gospel.
