The only thing you can do is set an example.  Live your life in a righteous way, and hope that they see that.  You can't change anyone, it's not your job to change anyone, all you can do is set an example, tell people the message of Christ, and God will work from there.

Well, there are lots of factors to consider.  Do you both follow your chosen religions very very faithfully?.... like, to the exact letter of the "law"?\n\nDo you have any idea if the other person's beliefs are compatable with what your house of worship teaches?\n\nHow will your family accept or reject this person?  How about your larger social circle.... friends and business colleagues (for when you are older ok).\n\nSit down and talk to your Priest, pastor, rabbi, Mullah or whatever person leads your faith, and ask their insights.

That's a good question. According to these people, you have to have a personal relatioship with jesus to get into heaven

Put your trust in the Lord your God.  Do not let someone steal your joy, some people are unstable.  There are always misunderstandings and always will be.  \nBut, trust in Him and find the Way.  Pray for God's will to be done.  Believe what the Lord your God speaks to you and tells you; He is always near although everyone else may forsake you.

That's a hard situation to be in but its also a common one.  One thing I beleive that we as Christians  should always do is seperate the person from the person's sin.  And this is especially true for our loved ones.  But truthfully this should be easiest with ones kids.\n\nOne thing I've been trying to do is try to look at things the way God does.  In this case before we submitted unto him and Christ came into our lives we have committed horrible sins (and continue to) yet he loved us and continues to love us.  He certainly does not approve in our action yet his love doesn't change.  Its a little more difficult for us to do this.  But we can always love and pray that they be ok.

Hello Jett.. :)\n\nI wish that I could convert you to Christ..but if that was possible..all would be knowledgeable about our Lord..\n\nOnly you can make that decision..for we all must make our own choice..\n\nAs for asking Christ into your heart..you are correct it is not logical..for if it was, would not all believe in Christ..it is a matter of the Heart..if you are sincerely longing to know if God is real..He will reveal Himself to you..there is NOTHING WE can say, that would change your mind nor your heart..but God can, if you Truly seek Him.. :)\n\nUsually one does not ask Jesus, to be the Lord of our lives..until they reach the lowest point..and all else has failed.. :(\n\n\nhttp://fathersloveletter.com/fllnarration.html\n\n\nYou are in my heart and prayers..I pray, that you to will find Jesus.. :)\n\n\nIn Jesus Most Precious Name..\nWith Love..In Christ.. :)

First address him, aknowledge that you wish to speak to him.  Then pour out your heart to him.  Ask in faith, always believing.  He does answer prayers, you just have to have the faith.  Read and reread James 1:5-7.

Simple:\n\nJust ask Christ to enter your heart. All other things come after. Sure read the bible, but it is not required, although it is jolly good reading. It is written:\n\nJohn 20:31\nBut these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.\n\nThe only hard thing about accepting him is trusting him, and beliving him. Trust is hard but you have to work at it.

Please, talk to a clergy member, a close friend, or a family member. God has a plan for all of us. It just isn't always an obvious one.

Yes,nothing is impossible for God.  He said in His Word that without FAITH it is impossible to please Him.  You, your aunt and any other born-again believers need to be in agreement(by that I mean get together by phone or in person) and state out of you mouths that this is what you are expecting, not wanting to know if He will, but expecting Him to do.  He says that we can call those things that be not as though they were.  Speak health into your aunts' body.  Did you know that God searches the world over trying to find that one with the faith that He may move on their behalf?  Once He has healed her, be sure to give Him thanks and the Glory.  I know first hand what it is like.  My mother had a brain tumor the size of a grapefruit the doctors said.  The road to her recovery wasn't instantaneous.  But I can say that thru prayer, the Lord and her doctors, 9 years later she is still here.  She is not the mother that we knew before, SHE IS BETTER.  I give God the glory and the praise for that.  I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for I know Him and who He is.   May God Bless Aunt Cee Cee and you.

Yes it's okay, but if they object then stop.  If you think they are going to object, don't tell them but, rather, include in your prayers that God will send someone they would be willing to receive the gospel of Christ.  Then, once they are saved, you can let them know you were praying for them.

hey there I totally understand where you stand because I was there myself at one point and time. But first you have to evaluate everyone in your family to figure out how much they care for you as their child/sibling. your best shot would be to tell the family member(s) that you are closest to and most comfortable around in order to see how they accept it. you would be better off starting out slowly; however this approach may not exactly work for everyone. so all I can really say is start slowly, telling a few people at a time, and then find an approach that works for you. maybe have a friend (NOT a f*ck-friend) that knows (and is cool with it) present when you disclose. worst comes to worst, have someone else tell them when you are not present. I had a great deal of difficulty coming out to them myself, but all I can really suggest that you find a way that works...for you. I do not know your family, but if they really love you, they will accept you for who you really are.

As hard as it is for human beings to understand a "calling", there really is circumstances where we are led a certain way.  Humanly, I think you have very valid reasons to worry, but your uncle believes and has enough faith to risk his and his familys life for Jesus.  No matter what your beliefs are, a risk taken for any belief is heroic and admirable.\n\nIt is my belief that God WILL look after him, even if the worst imaginable thing happens, God will still see to His will- and if that is His will, it will be done.  Rest assured that either way, your family will be in good hands.\n\nIf there is a God, and I DO believe in Him, your uncle is among very few with the courage and commitment that he has. No matter what happens, you should be proud.

Ask them what they need and do that. \n\nJust be a helping hand.\n\nListen.\n\nChuck Swindoll talked about how he helped an older woman when he was a cabbie and she was moving into a "home." Google him and look for his sermon from a couple weeks ago if you want to hear the story. Not a religious ploy just a good story.

You just pray for them and love them.  You just have to have faith and continue to show them how good living in Jesus is.

They have been answered, just not the way you would have liked for them to have been. He always answers. I'm in the same position now and I thought why doesn't he hear me, why hasn't he answered my prayer. Then I realised he had. It was just that he felt at this time or maybe at no time in the future, that it was the right decision for me. However I am relentless in this prayer and will not give up. His time is not our time. That is so hard to come to terms with, that in a way he has said no. But a wise priest once told me don't ever forget that there is nothing he will not do for his mother, so pray to her for her support in your matter and ask her in her grace to pray to him with you and on your behalf. Between them any miracle can occur and any grace can be bestowed. Have faith. God bless. I will not forget you in my prayers tonight.
