This is kind of a tough subject for me, but after church this sunday I really felt a conviction for this. You see my father-in-law has turned his back on GOD along time ago because he blames him for breaking up his mom and dad's marriage.
I don't know if he is saved or not since he never talks about that or anything to do with GOD. I am worried that he may not be, but I just dont't know.
So here lies my problem. My conviction is to talk to him about it and try and lead him to the LORD if not already. However, he is SUPER HARD HEADED and dosen't like to talk about certain things, and I mean won't talk at all. Also my wife has wondered about this for sometime as well and is worried about him too. She is scared that if she or I talk to him it will make us distant from him and all is lost.
I have finally decided that I can handle him hating me as a son-in-law for the rest of my life than not tryin to lead him to the lord and him going to hell. So I need your prayers and some good scripture and/or ideas on how to approach the subject with this man. I am pretty close with him and I am his favorite son-in-law so maybe that will help some, but who knows.
P.S. They are planning on coming to our house this weekend so I really need your prayers for GOD to give me the courage and strength to go through with this, one of us anyway (my wife or I).
Thank you all and GOD BLESS!!!
