For the Lost

I have a good number of friends who don't know Christ. I don't think about it/them as much as I should. Every once in a while, I'll pray for them to be saved, but again, not as much as I should. It's not that I don't care about them. It's just that I have so much other stuff on my mind. In those times that I do think about them; I'll offer up a quick prayer that they would come to know the joy of salvation.

I've tried talking to some of them about it, but it's really difficult. It's one of those things that you so desperately want to talk about but you don't really know how to bring up.

I need to get over myself and how they'll view me. I need to go out uncomfortably in to territory that may put the relationship on the cutting board. I need to be willing to risk it all for them to be saved. When it comes down to it, isn't it more important that they know God than it is for me to know them?

Some would argue that one of the ways I can evangelize is by witnessing and being a good friend. I think that should be only part of a multi-tiered strategy.

I pray for Bach, Jesse, Stayc, Kevin, Perna, Ash, Hez, and others that they would come to know Jesus.
