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.

Rest content in knowing that when the good Lord wishes the scales to fall from his eyes, your brother will see and know His Saviour. And not one minute sooner or later.

"Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life." -- Proverbs 13:12


"The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them." -- Proverbs 20:12


"And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." -- Mark 11:22-24

Trust the LORD, it will be as he wills.

My father-in-law came to live with my wife and I after he had a stroke. He was Eastern Orthodox. Every Sunday I invited him to come with us to church. After a couple months, he said yes. He started coming every Sunday. His son was surprised and asked him why. He told him he really enjoyed it. Our Pastor preaches THE GOSPEL every Sunday.

My father-in-law died last March. Before he died my wife prayed with him and asked him if he believed THE GOSPEL and had Faith in Jesus Alone. He said yes.

Trust the LORD.

I know my father-in-law would never have listened if it was his Bible believing Baptist son-in-law trying to explain THE GOSPEL to him, but in the end he did hear THE GOSPEL and he believed.
