She’s still a liberal. Statements like this...”It’s not like living in the South where everybody is a Christian” show her true colors as a northern elitist.

I’m glad she found Christ but I’ve always found it impossible to understand how you can be a lib AND a Christian.

Give her time.

I didn't take it that way. Living up North there are just not as many churches, as many Christians. I just spent a couple years up there (just outside NYC) and people stay home on Sunday morning. In our circle of acquaintances NO ONE went to church on Sunday, or discussed their faith.

Now that I am back in the South I as so happy to see so many churches and people so willing to openly talk about Jesus and God.

Tim Keller, the pastor mentioned above, said evangelism is easier in NYC. In the South many people will say they are Christians, even when they are not. It is such a cultural thing. Folks will say, "Oh yeah, of course I am a Christian." But they don't know the Gospel, they don't know God, they don't go to church, etc, etc. Up in NYC people are openly, aggressively atheist and at least you know what you are dealing with.

Eventually, her libtard “friends” will force her to choose between her faith or her former life . . . unless God works a miracle in their lives, too.

My cousin falls into this category. I see 2 things in his case. He doesn't read, or study Scripture. He thinks his "good works" earn him salvation.

Give her time. She's just beginning her journey.

It's too bad she's not perfect like you are, and learned everything all at once.
