When I first came to you to let you in on God’s master stroke, I didn’t try to impress you with polished speeches and the latest philosophy. I deliberately kept it plain and simple: first Jesus and who He is; then Jesus and what He did—Jesus crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:1-2 (MSG)
How to keep my testimony plain and simple:
- What my life was like _______________ becoming a Christian.
- What caused me to __________________ I needed to become a Christian.
- How I ____________________ a Christian.
- How my life is _____________________ since becoming a Christian.
