The Enemy Within

Every one of us who belongs to Christ is perpetually engaged in a battle for control of our mind.

By listening to him, I was able to meet him where he was at and address some specific questions he had before opening up the gospel to him.
So I began by asking him how many years of education he had to go through, and continued by asking whether his studies of the human mouth and all the intricate details re-inforced a belief in God or atheism.
