• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hey all, today I am going to be alone for a significant amount of time in a car ride (So he cannot leave lol)

He is lost, he is my father in law, he grew up Catholic going to mass everyday as a young person.

I have tried talking about Jesus with him it just doesn't stick. I have a great relationship with him and I want him saved.

PLEASE PRAY that the Holy Spirit will work on him as I preach the Gospel. I need you prayer warriors now!

Please don't 'preach' to him.
As you say you have a great relationship with him, so don't spoil it.
Rather ask him question about what he believes and answer them from the bible.

I'll certainly pray that you have a good open conversation about just who your Father in Law thinks Jesus is.

You are right bad wording on my part, I apologize. That is what I meant. I don't mean talk down preach, I mean actually explaining Jesus more.

Hi the best way to preach is to make it a conversation rather than a sermon. Ask him what he believes about his own destiny. Listen closely and then present your testimony and the gospel.

Father, I thank You for the great relationship this one has with their FIL. May this allow an inroad in to talking with him about being truly saved. May You give "lamb" the right words, the right stories, the right illustrations, the right timing, and everything else that would lead to a clear presentation of the gospel that he will understand, relate to, be opened to, and see the proper response he should make. Amen.
