It would mean alot to me if my boyfriend would join in the group with me, but so far, going on 2 years, he has not been interested in doing so. He will still come to church with me every so often, and he also has been in a different church group. Is there anything I can do to encourage him to have us be in a group together? It really bothers me that he hasnt so far and it seems like it could be years longer before he might. I really dont know what to do. Thanks for any advice.
Going to a church group does not a Christian make.
I see plenty of Christians going religiously to such groups and all they really are trying to do is work off their sins and impress people with their goodness.
What matters is what is in the heart. Going to church groups is not effective in winning unbelievers. Many people go to groups that are painfully boring. A good group should not be boring. Studying Scripture should not be boring. People should be allowed to ask hard questions and people socialize.
My wife goes to a lot of socializing groups I have no interest in. Usually, women are far more social then men. After all, women depend on this. Raising kids means you really can use a network of friends for advice and help when needed.
