Michael-Tell someone about Jesus today. Let them know they are blindly walking (in sin) towards the cliff, heading for the fall of God's judgement. Show them you love them by telling them why they need to repent (turn from sin) and trust in Christ. Does fear stop you? What's your worst case? Rejection. What's their worst case? An eternity in Hell. We need to reach out while there is still time.

 Friend-I agree but sometimes when you try to point out how much their lost and need God they get really defensive.

Michael-I agree. That happens sometimes. They're not open to the things of God. Grace won't make sense. If I tried to save someone from drowning and they don't believe they are, they will get defensive, but if we take the time to open up the divine law and show them their state before a just and Holy God, they should want to seek after righteousness. But if they still don't see their need, it's ok to walk off leaving them with the law. Don't give them grace. God resist the proud and gives grace to the humble. So just walk away, pray for them and know that you planted a seed. And those who sow are not always the one that reaps. God's word will never return void.
