Evangelize online and by digital means
Sometimes people who are skeptics or claim to be believers, bring up objections or wonder about certain things in Christianity. I'm going to do my best to regularly answer some of those questions. And provide links across the net which you can share. Feel free to copy and paste the links (to share with others) in your "notes" and bookmark the resource page and this blog....for reference, for use on facebook, and at twitter, social media, forums, or while bringing understanding to such people while you are online or by email. Even by text and air drop during irl convos.
We cannot assume what we know from whatever was taught in church is true. I mean, there's false teaching and views rampant in modern churches & so our source of authority and information is to come solely from The Bible. We need to know and be in the Scriptures regularly so we can also test everything people say (or the ways of the world), or the teachings of a religion. We must try it based on the truths of Scripture... if not we'll make our own beliefs and fall off the right path. If we read, know and apply the Scriptures then we'll walk the straight path that God wants us on. And we can properly share the gospel and reach others with solid answers to objections.
God chose believers to do that job, and it is a job we must do, no matter how people feel about the message or answers. The truth is always the truth. It never changes, neither does God's command, Both and all of it came from God. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Believers have questions just like skeptics. Ours are a different kind of questions. Most are answered in The Bible, but if you've got questions, or need answers for skeptics, and want to research these in advance, you can visit the FAQ Page. It's a place where various answers across the internet are compiled into one place. It won't answer everything, but sure will help with most, and guide you to reputable resources & sites that can answer other questions. *You can even simply share a "link answer" on social media or by text/email to assist with objections or basically answers a skeptic is seeking.

If you want to share the gospel and courageously reach out where you can online, but don't know how. Here are fantastic resources
If your a believer who isn't sharing the gospel...learn how here.
I see every faq link (here) as "a mini gospel tract". As things related to God, sowing seeds, watering, answering objections (which are just questions they've never got solid answers to before) and each links to the gospel. All that can be shared with others.
The above link also have a sns training course for safely witnessing on social platforms and apps that censor free speech; Christians beliefs/worldview, things of the Bible and Gospel. This will help keep you from getting flagged by haters, avoid sns jail and being kicked off a platform.
If you want to share gospel by tracts by digital or qr code or print... visit BiblicalTracts (and more can be found in the above earlier link) .
God bless you as you reach the lost. Soak your morning in prayer for opportunities and end of the day for those opportunities God used you for. Always be gentle, caring and gracious in your interactions, regardless of how they respond. Look at what's hidden and how to be helpful. Remove offense & negative emotion on your end and you will do well.
Reminder. Scripture also tells us to examine ourselves to ensure we are actually saved. And in light of a 90% fall away rate from modern churches and their false gospel, take a minute to make sure you came to Jesus for the right reason. Go through <this video> (& the info below the video on that page), and then go here too.
Bonus. There's a < faq section> in that earlier link above, also for believers. It's growing resource of great material for your benefit. And can help guide you through various useful things. And you can go further from there. 🙂
In closing,
You need to know the Bible. As a Christian you should be reading it every day. Not some verse of the day, not some app pop up daily thing, but actually make time a scheduled time in the morning for personal quiet time with God, in the printed word. It is more personal and reverant if you use the printed Word. If you need a good study Bible you can find one here & this evidence study Bible is good for you too . 🙂
God uses the Bible to communicate with us and we are not in a 1 way one sided relationship that's only you praying to God. We must know the Bible, it's truths, promises, and all it contains for following Christ and living the Christian life.
Knowing the Bible & being able to have answers from Scripture and also being able to have things explained (such as by video and text from reputable places) as supplemental solid resources to help reach the unsaved, is going to help you be the best you can be daily for Christ.
So I hope the resources shared here help you.
ANSWERS RESOURCES
Note all the above FAQ pages have a link to the gospel. And link to additional resources on the topics, so it has more info than just what you find on other ministry sites. However, use the links you want to. But just know, if you link to those pages when talking to people (anywhere) theyll also get the Gospel (which is good, cuz sometimes they won't stick around for a Gospel convo. And some situations wont allow for it).
These, and the very good info across this site can be a great help to you. I wish I had all these things decades ago, that are now easily available to you and the next generations (for their entire youth and lifetime). Please bookmark it, go through them, the faq, and evangelism stuff offsite. It will seriously benefit you and to be a great help to reaching unsaved-others, and even share with believers to help them be faithful witnesses too.
God bless!
FAQ for Christians:
Will what I do online even have an impact?
Yes. Even if it helps one person. I just find opportunities in my free time, or dedicated time daily and weekly. Be faithful and God will do the rest. I never cared, but I just found out my blog has a statistics (*)tab ....and the results of how many have seen the blog (in one year) was a surprise, so yes, you will be used by God, and the internet is more of an open field than those you would meet in daily encounters in the real world, so use both for the glory of God. And the interactions online can help you get practice for interactions, going thru varied situations, with varied beliefs, etc, will help build up your courage and help you in in-person convos irl.
I am sure we will be more surprised about the fruits of our faithful efforts on earth once we get to Heaven. The seeds sown will bring a harvest, and the owner of that field will bring many souls to Himself. Just be a faithful servant of Christ.
Ok, go back to the top and start getting equipped to share the Gospel
God be with you.

Footnote:
(*) Don't reshare that statistics link. That was simply just to show what is possible if a believer is faithful day by day with the message of Scripture (planting seeds and sharing the gospel). You can however send solid born again Christians to the homepage here to help them learn to share the gospel with others, and to use the tips and helps in the tech era to safely navigate social media platforms, and irl, to be a blessing to others for Christ.
