[QUOTE="devin553344, post: 73665375, member: 382150"] In my opinion, yes that is enough. I have a very close friend that sells coffee and has several coffee shops. I was LDS for many years before converting to Christianity. I thought about preaching to him, but I realized it could ruin our friendship. Recently he came over to visit and told me how he witnessed a woman commit suicide on the train tracks and was decapitated in front of him and his family. He told me how he directed his family to pray to God instead of looking at the scene. Alhough the situation was tragic, it was also a pleasant surprise to hear that he was actually religious as he never has attended any church. I think your friend is at least religious, which is a good thing. Perhaps their view of who God is will change over time. You could cleverly share who God is to you if it's not in a preaching way. I would just look for openings in the conversation and try to not be preachy. IMO, being preachy comes off like disapproval of someone morally. And that can damage a relationship. HTH :) [/QUOTE]
