Soul Winning Secrets – Day 18
When They Bring Up Hard Questions – Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing
With Pastor Joshua Tapp | True Words Baptist Church – Louisville, KY
Introduction
I’m Pastor Joshua Tapp from True Words Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky — and this is Soul Winning Secrets. From the Scriptures to the streets — we live soul winning. Let’s go fishing for men.
The Gospel Conversation Derailment
You start giving the Gospel — and suddenly they ask:
- “What about dinosaurs?”
- “Where did Cain get his wife?”
- “Why do bad things happen to good people?”
- “What about all the hypocrites in churches?”
The devil loves distractions. But your job is to keep them focused on salvation.
“But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.” — 2 Timothy 2:23
How to Respond Without Getting Sidetracked
✅ Acknowledge the question without arguing.
✅ Bring it back to the cross immediately.
✅ Say something like:
“That’s a good question — but what matters most is your soul. Are you 100% sure you’re going to Heaven?”
The Gospel is the priority — not a debate about dinosaurs or theology they can’t grasp yet.
Remember: Salvation First, Answers Later
Once they’re saved, the Holy Spirit can teach them truth over time. But right now, they need Jesus — not trivia.
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins…” — 1 Corinthians 15:3
Soul Winning Secret
“Answer their soul, not just their question.”
Don’t lose the person chasing a debate. Win the soul by staying focused.
Final Challenge
Stay calm. Stay kind. Stay focused. Keep pressing gently toward the Gospel. Satan would love to waste the moment — don’t let him.
Outro
We’ve seen souls saved week after week — and you can too. Don’t just watch — go fishing. Let’s win the world to Christ, one soul at a time.
