Every house is constructed by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God.—Heb. 3:4.

 

Paul’s logic is very reasonable and effective! Yes, complex designs are the product of an intelligent mind. You can use the same basic reasoning when you talk with someone who has doubts about the Bible. Find out what he actually believes and what topics may interest him. (Prov. 18:13) If he is interested in scientific things, he might respond when you mention points that show the Bible’s scientific accuracy. Other people might be moved by examples showing that the Bible contains accurate prophecies and accurate history. Or you might point out the Bible’s guiding principles, such as those found in the Sermon on the Mount. Remember, your goal should be to win hearts, not arguments. So be a good listener. Ask sincere questions, and express yourself with mildness and respect, especially when you talk with older ones. They will likely be more inclined to respect your views. w16.09 4:14-16
