Brother David, Think on this a minute did you lose a friend? Or did you lose an acquaintance? A friend would not so easily get upset and leave over this.

Hey David:

I agree that if Sissy is a true friend she will be with you through thick and thin.

Don't forget making amends and forgiveness go hand in hand.

Will be praying over you and your friendship.

Love in Christ, Eva

I was looking back at what I said and it isn't pushing she is mad at, I judged and called her religion false. She has every right not to be friend anymore and hate me  Cry

Brother David, you wouldn't be much of a friend if you didn't tell her the truth of the Gospel.

Hello Brother David,

Eternity is at stake so this is much more important than temporary hurt feelings, but I still understand. Salvation conversations get pretty hot even within someone's own family. I'm glad that I don't have the burden of thinking that someone in my family is lost. This is something I give thanks for every day because I love them, care for them, and want to spend eternity together with them in Heaven. What could be more important than this?

Brother David, I do know Christians who struggle with the burden of a lost friend or family member every day of their lives. There obviously isn't any desire to hurt them - just the opposite. It might or might not help to explain why it's so important that you share JESUS CHRIST and the CROSS with them. You don't want them to spend eternity in Hell. You're not trying to hurt them or make them mad, rather you want CHRIST to rescue them from the horrible wrath to come. Witnessing with friends and family members is many times a very difficult and unpleasant task. Things are really the opposite of what the WORLD considers on this subject. It really boils down to do we care enough to try and keep trying. We should always pray and ask GOD to help us, but that still doesn't mean that it will be easy.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Romans 4:22-25 NASB
Therefore IT WAS ALSO CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him, but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification. "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.  "BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT."

Brother, thank you but that isn't what I was doing. You would need alot of information to understand what exactly is going on.

I am indeed in the wrong. Please understand that much. I lost a great friend

Brother, I'll just pray for you. Let me know if there is something I can do to help you, and I'll do my best.

Love In Christ,
Tom

However, we are told to "speak the truth in love." Too often people try to justify criticism by saying, "I'm only saying it because I care." I'm afraid I've been guilty more times than I care to count of criticizing and NOT doing it in love.
