Raising spiritual issues in conversation

Some nuggets of gold from an old Beach Mission booklet I found;

Raising spiritual issues
Though we are all involved with different age groups, at different times in our program we will have opportunities to speak to adults about spiritual matters. For example there are the church services, family nights, visiting parents of the children you teach, parents who hang around the castle meeting etc.

OUR AIM IS TO START A CONVERSATION WHICH WILL GET THE PERSON TO FRANKLY EXPLORE THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Here are some handy conversation starters:
"What do you think of this Christianity stuff?"
"Do you often come to Church?"
"What do you think about... ?" (point from the talk at church)

A set of three:
"Are you interested in Spiritual things?" (If answer is "No!" ask; "Why not?")(If answer is "Yes" continue.)
"How would you define a real Christian?"
"Would you mind if I showed you what the Bible says?"

"Would you consider yourself to be a real Christian or are you still on the way?"
"What made you decide to come along tonight?"
"Who do you think Jesus is?" (This may be useful with a rank outsider)
"Do you believe in life after death?" (This may be more suitable to an older person)
"Do you think humanity (the world) is getting worse?"
"I find I can't live up to my own moral standards - what about you?"

A set of two; (suitable for a person who is brushing aside a decision)
"What decision have you come to about Jesus?"
"On what basis have you come to this decision?"

A set of two;
"Have you reached the stage in your life where you are sure that if you died tonight you would go to be with Jesus in heaven?"
"If you died tonight, and stood before God and he should ask you; 'Why should I let you into heaven?', what would you say?"

Makes me think of those flowchart sheets that they give to telemarketers like this one.
