HELP! Witnessing...

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hello All!

I need some advice.....I recently met someone on an internet chat session
who claims to be an agnostic.  He was visiting the apostolic channel, and
started asking some questions about how we differ from other churches. 
He showed a great interest, and was very polite.  I've sent him some info
about what we believe, which was the easy part.  The hard part is that he
says he doesn't believe the bible to be true.  He believes there is a
God, but doesn't really think God makes much of a difference in his life.
  How can one witness to someone like that?  He has been in my prayers
since he first started asking questions.   Will prayer and personal
example be my only ways to witness?   Any help will be
appreciated......by both me..... and this person....especially if he is
brought to the truth!!

God Bless!!

Depends on where you live my friend. My father-in-law was
on his way home from work one night when he came across
a man lying in the middle of the street...wanting to stop and
help, he began to slow his car...when what should his eyes
catch in the side mirror??? Not Jolly old Saint Nick...but
the OTHER part of the "setup" coming up to his car. Can you
guess what the father-in-law did boys and girls??? YES...he
floored the gas pedal, and you should've seen that "corpse" 
get up out of the street...talk about a miracle!!!

I think in these latter times, we have to exercise wisdom on
both ends of the spectrum. Most people have cell phones and
or belong to motor clubs. If I see someone on the side of the
road, the "most Christian" thing I will do is stop 1/2 mile
away and call the state trooper for them....wait until the 
trooper arrives...but that's as far as I will go, and I DO NOT
feel bad about it ONE BIT! My second reaction would be to
assume that they have motor club membership and they
have already made the call.

As saints, you should be sure to have either one or the other
OR BOTH! You should not leave yourself in a position to be
stranded on the side of the road without some means of getting
help on your own...especially if you're in an older model car.

Both my wife and I have cell phones, and as soon as my newer
car begins to hint "undependability" I will get motor club on it.
