I know you said christians only so please forgive me for posting. My sister battled depression for years, and I know the signs of it pretty well. Go ahead and continue praying for your boyfriend and witnessing. But please also try to talk him in to visiting a doctor to discuss his symptoms. They are treatable! It could be just a chemical imbalance, or he could need to talk to someone about why he feels as he does. Someone that isn't close to him.
I hope you and your boyfriend work it all out okay. Depression is hard on the person, and it is also hard on their loved ones.
Good luck!

It's not words about God that you should tell your dear friend. He is hopefully not about to die yet.
You should give your boy-friend a real good dinner at home, a couple of huge saucy beef-steaks and fine fresh salad, and so also serve a couple of glasses of good wine, or some other finest beverage if you don't drink wine. Alternatively you might cook a fantastic rich dish of pasta, for instance linguini, with a superb spicy sauce, and so accompany that with the most delicious white wine or other finest beverage that you may know about
and so after dinner you should dance with him as wildly as you can, even if he doesn't want to, and make him really feel your fiercy glowing love.
Good luck!

First off, God will answer your prayers in a way that will help influence your bf, but only your bf can make the decision. God cannot force him to be His child.
You should tell him about Christ, but know that it is only his decision. Afterwards, if says no, then you should exemplify the character of Christ through your actions with a meek and quiet spirit.

Tell him that when you feel lonely, or depressed etc., that you pray about it and it really helps. And maybe he should try it too, what does he have to loose? Tell him that you have been praying for him. And keep praying for him. God does hear your prayers and he does answer them.... sometimes in mysterious ways!!

If you believe in god, I guess you have to believe it would answer your prayers. I say, leave the guy alone with the religion stuff, or he's going to be your ex-boyfriend pretty soon. Someone as into religion as you seem to be should probably look for boyfriends at your church so that they're already as brainwashed as you are and you don't have to try to convince them. (I don't mean that in a cruel way, but you have been brainwashed, you know.)

If he feels depressed and empty something is getting through. Witness to him and tell him how much more God loves him in the form of Jesus Christ and that you love him too and want him to be happy. If he refuses to listen be still and let God work on him. He will make things right for you. Have faith and keep up what you are doing.

Shorty, please pray about which answer to select in real life in how to witness to your boyfriend. I'm very glad you care about him, not only as your boyfriend, but in terms of his eternal life.
When you witness, sometimes it is a case of learning what and when to share, including when to speak and when to not speak. Don't push, but pray about this and as the Holy Spirit shares with you that it's time to talk with him, pray for wisdom that God will give you the right words. If you push too much, he will move further away, but show him how Christ has made a difference in your life and it will be the opening he needs.

Something that we all seem to forget is that we only get to see a puzzle piece, while God sees the WHOLE puzzle. He answers prayer in His own perfect timing. He may use someone off the street who has never met your boyfriend to help him. You never know. Is there a place called the Healing Room near where you live? If so, I would suggest bringing him there as well as you going yourself. It is completely CHRISTIAN, and has done wonders for me. Keep praying girl! God works in mysterious ways.

Just share your testimony with him. We are called to be 'witnesses' of what God has done in our lives through Jesus Christ. Sometimes we try too hard. Keep praying for him and don't give up and don't lose heart. Remember it's not your job to save him - that's God's job so avoid the temptation to make your b/f "see the light." And remember God loves him more than you do and has a both a plan and a time for his salvation.

most so called christians are empty inside do to false doctrine and teachiings that take them away from God rather than closer because there are so many false ministers today not called of God. They do have a calling and are ministers but for the God of this evil age.
Rock and roll is another thing that is subverting our walk with christ so we can't die to our own will and do his will. It permeates our culture so much that you can't watch tv, movies, commercials, or listen to the radio without getting stung by those paralyzing songs/tales from those locusts of rock and roll spoken of in revelations ch. 9. it is a solemn warning given to stay away from it. it is satan's chosen perverted form of worship. www.branham.org or www.leevayle.com
