I told Him how much I love Him and how much God loves him and I offered to pray with him...I love my dad, he is my flesh and blood...And all I want is what God wants for him. Please pray for him, and pray for me...I am not giving up on him. I think that persuing my dad is important, but sometimes it brings me to remember when Jesus was talking to His desciples He said, that If people don't accept you or Gods message that you are to shake off your feet and leave those people to themselves, because they are in Gods hands now. And it would have been better if they were never born. Thinking that is hard, my dad isn't a Christian and he has shunned me because I am not in school full time, and it hurts, but through all of the pain God has been ever merciful to me and I've leaned on know one but God and His strength, and am richly blessed as a result. Please pray for me that God will give me the strength and courage to get through the rough times. God bless you.

Good for you!!! I am glad that you did this, he doesn't know how blessed he is to have a son that is so forgiving and loving like you. Don't give up on him. Remember that no matter what we do to Him, God he ALWAYS loves us and is there for us. And we are supposed to follow His example. Love ALWAYS no matter what. I will pray for you and your dad.

The best thing is to be a living witness. Let him see the good fruit you bear in Jesus. Our actions speak louder than words. Keep showing him your love. Love conquers all. Keep praying for him. Jesus will do the rest. Cast your burdens upon Jesus and He will give your soul rest.
I will pray for you & your dad. Give him to the Lord. Just know without a doubt that God is in control & nothing is impossible for Him.

If your father Does not believe in god there isn't much you can do. Ask him if he'll read the bible for you and explain it isn't to try to convert him... that it's only so he can understand you better as his son, so you know what he will do to be closer to you. In the mean time... i'll pray for both of you love. God bless.

all I want is what God wants for him.
no you want him to be christian because you believe its the only valid religion. I think its rather selfish to assume that you have all the answers, and your father who raised you is an ignorant imbecile. if i was your father, i would be very disappointed in your arrogance and that you assume to know more than me.
Oh and playing hooky (cutting class) shows what a juvenile delinquent you are, you probabaly do drugs like most christians or joined a gang like most christians. Youre nothing but white trash.
