Show him by your actions that you still care about him no matter what way he choses. Your actions as a CHristian can lead many to become Christian themselves. If he wants to talk about it, let him speak. Be understanding. Don't bombard him with scripture unless he says "show me where it says...". Let him lead the conversation no matter where it goes. Be patient.
I am the only one that attends church in my whole family. I have 4 sisters, 2 moms and 2 dads. It was a very broken up family life growing up but no matter what I would seek out the bible and a place to worship. One time it was an abandon church that was so old it had an outhouse. So I grew up alone in seeking God and biblical knowledge. I fell away at one time from mostly peer pressure and family pressure telling me how rediculous I was being over religion. I came back. All is well. Now and then someone in my family will call me or stop by and ask me what to do in some situation. They know I'm giving them biblical advice, but I don't use the words, "it is written" or something that is outright saying its from the bible. If they take the advice, I thank God. If they don't, I pray they someday will. That is all we can do for our loved ones. God has to do the rest. If we feel we have to pull someone to God then we are saying God isn't the all powerful, almighty that He really is. Be careful. Honey draws in more bees than mud ever will. But it won't keep a bee from stinging if they feel cornered. Ads |
