I personally think you would lose someone with that aproach. I believe that the best approach is to talk to them and not at them. A debate will not get you anywhere. Just sow a seed into their salvation. Invite them to worship and to hear a word from God. Let the spirit do the rest. If they have questions later on then you teach and refer them to scripture. A truly loving apprroach works best. | ||||||

I think it is hard to lose someone who is already lost. I would be talking to them and with them, not necessarily at them, you cannot debate with the truth so they will be at a loss. I agree that a loving approach is best but if you tell them what the actual truth is, they will be unable to stand against it, and light will penetrate the darkness of their thinking. This is the loving appraoch, done in kindness. The unloving approach would be to ignore them and let them plow their way into destruction |

You are SO right Miranda, Thank-You. Of course, Not only Jesus loves them, but their mothers, spouses, etc. but your point is well taken. Give me an ex-addict, ex-alcoholic or an ex-anything any day of the year to help me with my problems in daily living. These are people who know more about what is important in life than one who has never had thoughts that they might be trapped at the bottom rung on the ladder of their life. They may not make the best accountants, or engineers or what have you, but God puts professional people in their careers for a purpose as well. Not everyone is an actuarist, nor was meant to be. I can get more sincere empathy from a brother or sister that knows the seemier side of life and was wise enough to turn away than from many clean-cut people that have substantial standings in society. I think the society do-gooder feels he has something to lose, where the ex-prostitute or reformed criminal (so to speak) has a much better perspective on what is important to keep. Again, your post is one of the best spoken I have ever read, I wish I could be so perspectful. |
