"You Can't Get to Heaven on Faith Alone"

No sooner had Tony arrived at the corner of Harrison and Locust for an afternoon of crosswalking than Daniel arrived. Disheveled and dirty from a long day of hard work, Daniel wanted information about Tony's church.

Daniel, having arrived in Iowa from California only a few months ago, found himself hanging out with the wrong crowd, drinking heavily, and doing cocaine. He thought "getting back into church" would help him.

As Tony began to explain the truths of the gospel, Daniel interrupted, as if he was going to finish Tony's thought, and said, "You can't get to heaven on faith alone." Tony assured him that the opposite was true.

This began a short but profitable gospel conversation with a young man who needed Christ.
