I have this friend...

[onlinemissionary]

My friend say he does't believe in any religon. He keeps getting into trouble and his destructive behavior is starting to hurt others. I want to try to turn him to Christ but even with what little training I have I don't know how to approch my friends. Please help. (I know this is random I just didn't know what else to do.)

 

[RichardT]

Tell him to repent, believe for the kingdom of God is at hand.

yes but with him being like my best friend I don't know how to go about it. Anyone else and I'd throw myself into it that's how I do my mission work. But I don't kow and I'm confused.

tell him you care about him, and that you are praying for him.

and read some verse to him that you think it will help him to be a better person

if he's truly your friend get off your duff and go witness to them, friends don't let friends go to hell without a fight.... WOTM(Way of the Master) and FAITH are two ways to share your faith, either method(WOTM - Law to the Proud, Grace to the Humble or FAITH - Verse after Verese bombardment on the need for Salvation coupled with your testimony) is better than doing nothing....

not speaking to him is like watching him get into a car, drunk and saying nothing because he's so cool.....then he dies or kills someone, you're as responible for his actions as he is because you should have witnessed to them the error of his ways....it's what friends do.

and don't try to be a silent witness that will only hint at why you're different, you may not have tommorow, he may walk out of whatever building he's in and get run over by a mac truck while you try friendship evanglism....

just my .02 cents worth.....

if you don't want to speak yourself, download "Hell's Best Kept Secret" and give it to him.... it's on the WOTM site.....anyone that wants to quote this post directly keep the link.... wayofthemaster.com and for FAITH google "Faith Outline"

The thing I fear the most is to be in heaven and seeing my family/friends in hell because I haven't even witnessed to them.

To me, friends and family are the hardest to witness too. Is this something you've discussed with him about...his destructive behaviour? Sometimes there's a point where all we can do is pray for that person. Have you tried inviting him to your church?

Just remember, you are the light of the world, and he sees that through your actions and words.

I sort of messed this up with my family, unfortunately...

You first need to make sure you are the example of Christ you need to be.

Dont worry about some acronym or nonsense, worry about not only preaching the Gospel to him, but also living it out.

Those acryons are not "nonsense" they are refering to two different methods of actually sharing the gospel message, just as there is the Romans Road, there is FAITH, and Way of the Master(WOTM) I've seen people answer the Lord's Calling though people presenting the message in these formats... again, use what works for you, but I know those produce results and are a good idea for someone that doesn't have a method for sharing the gospel with a loved one/friend.... espically Way of The Master, takes it all off you and makes the other person think

and yes, a person should walk the walk and talk the talk, I'm not disagreeing with that, the Opening Question seemed to imply the author was and was wanting a way to share with a friend....

I don't believe in "easy prayerism" though, there needs to be a sign of repentance for faith to work in the person.

Acts 20:20-21

And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house, Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ

 

[BBAS 64]

Good Day,

I know this can be hard on all believers, me included.

Preach the word it is the power to Salvation.

2Ti 2:19 But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity."
2Ti 2:20 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable.
2Ti 2:21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
2Ti 2:22 So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
2Ti 2:23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.
2Ti 2:24 And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,
2Ti 2:25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,
2Ti 2:26 and they may escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.

Pray that God would grant to them repentance as to lead them to knowledge of the truth.

Let God do his work..... if He so chooses to

Peace to u,

Bill

Share Christ and Him crucified - the foolishness and offense of the Cross.

Also remember that you might not see immediate results - but your prayers will accomplish much, in this case pray that God turns your friend's heart to Himself. Some day your friend might look back on when you shared the Gospel message and a light bulb will go off because you laid the groundwork.
