Garry DeWeese on Arguing People Into the Kingdom

"It's often said that you can't argue someone into the kingdom of God. True—but you can't love them into the kingdom either. Faith is ultimately the gift of the Holy Spirit. But in showing that there are excellent reasons for Christian belief, we can lead unbelievers to a place where they may be more open to the Spirit's work."
