Hi Born2LoveYou- first remember that we are to sow seed and believe God for the harvest. I have seen folks dismiss the Gospel for years only to remember it later in a time of need- many have come to Christ this way.
When they won't listen to the facts try another aproach. Try sharing your testimony- Jesus is real in my life- I sense His presence- He speaks to me- He gives me peace - He delivers me- let them know what they are missing- everyone has a whole in their heart only Jesus can fill- if that heart isn't satisfied it will be constantly seeking temporary fixes only to find itself empty a few
minutes later after attempting to gratify itself. Tell them- you obviously don't know my God or you wouldn't belive that- He is awesome and loving beyond comprehension. Explain to them that they were created to fellowship with God and until they realize that purpose they will never be complete- let them know that the Bible has more historic documentation than any work in literary history- let them know that if you are right they are in serious need of a Saviour- tell them that you love and care for them and that is what drives you to share the love found in Jesus with them- Never let them back you down, I don't mean be pushy but do not let them intimidate you when it comes to sharing- Never say good things about yourself but Always lift up God and His goodness. The scripture declares we are to sudy to show ourself approaved and to be ready in season and out of seaon. Get more invlolved in bible study and apologetics- and finally get more involved with God- the more time you spend with Him the more of His presence and glory you cary into this dark world.
Amny blessings on your day, your brother Larry
