How can I get someone interested in the Word of God?
A simple way to spark interest in the Word of God is to learn and use the timeline. Start with a person using the timeline, as it can open opportunities to share Scripture and lead them toward the Lord, as demonstrated around a kitchen table.
Les explains that the practical method is to use the timeline when talking with someone. He recounts bringing a person to his kitchen table, putting on coffee, and simply starting with the timeline. That approach, he says, opens an opportunity to get someone interested in the Word of God. He acknowledges the timeline is simple but may complicate it by contrasting what the disciples and early Jewish believers understood with what church-age believers now understand, because God interrupted His original program for the nation of Israel and turned to the Gentiles instead. He then starts with Scripture, going to Genesis 12 and the Abrahamic Covenant, noting the 2,000 years from Adam to Abraham's call.
