I find that people of other faiths really believe in what they've been taught (like we have) and it's tough to reach them. I know I don't have the words or the knowledge to rebuke their teachings. I only have the 'basics' and hope that's enough but I don't have faith in my own ability to do even that.

"I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." -- 1 Corinthians 3:6

When I first began posting to the RF, a FRiend advised me to simply rely on the word of God because it is best rebuke, rebuttal and resource on earth.

If the Holy Spirit decides to open someone's eyes, praise God. If not, we've still done as He commanded us to do -- preach the word in truth in season and out.

Amen!

No question is to tough to ask. The answer is there!

My former pastor was a retired Army Chaplain. He told me of a soldier who suffered burns all over his body. He was in agony for about a week. He kept preaching THE GOSPEL and praising the LORD until he died. May we all be blessed to meet this Saint one day.

I try. I have seen people come to the Lord through our music ministry to the elderly. Witnessing to your own family is the hardest. My brother is so hard against the Lord and even against me that I pray that someone else in FL can reach him.
