conscience.

God’s

S M A L L G R O U P D I S CUS S I O N Q UESTIONS If the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was right and there is no God, then

what are some of the possible results of this?

If someone was in strong opposition to God, how could an “apologetic of touch”

help them see the truth of Scripture?

T H E DECISION Determine to obey the conscience that God has put inside you when it convicts you

of wrong or confirms that you are doing right.

Decide to tell your friends about the God who has revealed Himself to us and loved

us enough to die for our sin so that we can have a relationship with Him.

S T I C K Y STATEMENT Don’t deny what has been placed inside.
