Do you look forward to your eternal reward? Do you know where you'll be when you die? All people die, but not everyone has life. It's up to you know how to secure your eternal position. Don't rely on other people to tell you what is acceptable to God and what isn't. Read it for yourself. The key is to ask God to help you understand what you read, then you need to read it several times to make sure you're understanding the context, the language, and anything else that might be a barrier for some people in their study. Finally, use common sense while you're reading. God has made the bible to be much simpler than we've made it to be.
Too many times we want to justify why we can do whatever our impulses direct us to do, instead of focusing our attention on what our Savior directs us to do. The temporary sacrifice is worth the permanent reward.
Share some verses that you know that might encourage someone to stay faithful to the truth.

Rom 8:31-39 -
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring a charge against God's elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?...37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I don't think this is correct place to comment on what I'm going to comment on, but anyway, I thought your sermon/lesson on Pascal's Wager was quite good!
